Friends,
I know that some of you have already responded to Rich's appeal for help in relation to the financial upkeep of the cornsnake forums, but I just wanted to throw my two cents' worth out here.
I found this site by accident a few years ago. It helped me in several ways:
Provided me with an opportunity to "talk" to those who have had much more experience and understanding with/of my beloved snakes than I, allowing me the chance to grow in knowledge.
Provided me with a source to find quality snakes to purchase from respected breeders/dealers, allowing me to grow my private collection and breeding stock.
Provided me with an outlet of FREE advertising whereby I am able to find good homes to my animals, resulting in customers that will continue to look for me here at THIS site, allowing me to grow in my fledgling business pursuits.
Providing me a true forum for the expression of ideas in relation to a subject about which I am passionate: corns, allowing me to grow in passion day by day.
I am certain that many of you have experienced similar growth in your cornsnake hobbies/businesses. Won't you now help Rich keep this wonderful tool open for us all to use and enjoy? How many people have you "met" online because of this site? Is that not worth it to you to see your way clear to donate a few dollars to keep it alive?
It is to me, and I encourage all of you to give something, whatever you can, to give back a little to a FREE website. A source of information, entertainment, knowledge, and commraderie from which we ALL have deeply drawn.
