Imho, for what it is worth, I can see both sides of the discussion here, but I can't help thinking that a good 'under new management' campaign would be better than a name change. To me, a name change doesn't always imply a change of management, and can give the impression that somebody is dodging an issue rather than making changes.
It is common practice for dodgy traders (builders, double glazing etc) to fleece people and then close the company and start a new one, to avoid paying out on guarantees or to avoid legal action.
Also, people often refer back to the original name, when they discuss a new business that replaced one that had a bad reputation.

I'd like to point out at this juncture that the website still reeks of anthony..... priceless bullshit such as...................

Remember reptile rescue is our trademark name nobody else should be using it apart form WWW.REPTILERESCUE.CO.UK AND WWW.TERRAPINRESCUE.CO.UK

Funny that. many of us were rescuing long before he was and this seems to me as a dig at all the other hardworking rescues, who evidently worked harder than he did. and whats the talk of he earned thousands doing rescues? i'd like to hear more of that because i was losing thousands, not gaining them.

not having a go at all you new guys that have taken over, i am glad youall have taken over.... but i feel a COMPLETE revamp of the website is in order. becuse at the minute it comes accross as a cut-throat business undermining all the other rescues out there. not even a links page to other rescues? for shame.

Mosh, Diablo has spoken to him about that and id like to clear it up "reptile rescue" is registered as a limited company. Therefore if we called ourself Brighton reptile rescue then that would be fine
its not that you cant use the words reptile rescue in a sentance or a name its that you cant used Reptile Rescue LTD
Any one can own a copyrite all they need to do is place the C symbol there and tadar you have the copyrite
i also have to say there is no copyrite register so no one can check who owns what.

But we have already been told the website needs to be updated they just havent got round to it yet

It is a damn good point. Re Under New managment.
Many people when a shop or whatever changes hands, they used to the old name. E.G. Safeways became Morrisons. I still to this day stil call it Safeways. I think there be a better respone re Under new Managment in huge Bold letters.
Also be worth putting an add in for free In Trade-it or any other free papers stating under new management ect.
Hope things do pick up and things do get better, for the sake of the reps.

All you had to do Incubuss is PM us and let us know Anthony has caused a lot of trouble for us and so did you making up them lies about us what are all untrue with no shred of truth in any of them, if you had just sent us a PM saying "Anth is no longer doing it we are" we wouldnt have posted, but when only today someone tells me Anth is still doing it and is just not using his home to house stuff what am i to think?? i only have the reps best intrest at heart! as i am sure you have. if the open door is open i would love to come and meet you and put this behind us? just PM me.

i have no intrest in taking any rescue over i have my hands full with the over 200 reps i have here as it is and doing the Terrapin rescue!! Please PM us and see if we can sort this out.

Because if it is true Ant is not doing it i am more than happy.

I tried to tell people on here that I had taken over, but no one listened to me. Also, as most of you on here know; my wife has been very ill in the hospital, so sending everyone a PM would have been out of the question.

As for the trouble Ant has caused you; I know nothing about that. You say that I also told lies about you? That is also not true. What would I have to gain by telling silly lies on a forum? if you are talking about some earlier threads, then thats still what I'm hearing off people.

You say that Ant is still running the rescue, but not from home? The info you are getting (or the people you are getting it from) is wrong! Ant has nothing to do with the rescue now, and has no input what so ever!

You stated that you would be happy to work with me if Ant is no longer a part of the rescue, then thats ok. But the problem I have is that I am still getting info that you're working with Shane slitherin of preditors, and Mr Britton (S&D), and don't need the presure atm with my wife being ill.

Hi Incubuss i am sorry to here about your wife and hope she soon recovers. now onto topic....

you say you have never said any lies about me? i quote....

as for Mark he once gave me a very poorly Bosc Monitor that died the same night i bought it home there is a thread on here somewhere about it... and that's it

i have never met you so would never comment on something i "heard" as you cant believe everything you hear/read, as i said if Ant is know longer doing it i am more than willing to come down or you can even ring me? But i have it from a VERY VERY Reliable source that he is still doing it i wont name the person without permission as that's wrong but if you want to know who i will PM the person and get him/her to get contact with you if they will..

i would like to know who is saying this about me though as i would like to know what proof there have as There is none as it never happened???????????????????????????????????????

Who is Mr Britton lmao - not my husbnad I hope

Incubuss - can you possibly tell us now that you are running the rescue if it is still affiliated with the RSPCA please - do you take public rescues again or do they have to come via RSPCA officers?

(on a side note, hope you wife and bubs are okay )
