I note that you have now edited out the offensive comment aimed at the 'Pet Shops', which is good, but I can't believe that it should have been placed there in the first instance. A sign of modern times maybe? If so I'm glad to more out of things today

Gone for sure are the days when every snake that appeared on the scene as nature intended it, was beheld as a wondrous creature that was treated as very special. Instead now for the most, it's the hybrids and endless morphs that are sought after, and 'Pet Shops' don't all have vast amounts of these do they? so calling their unsold stocks 'crap' should I guess be expected today, even from a front running IHS Society. Progress through the years, better or not? I believe I could give that answer well on behalf of a past IHS president, one of my mentors, and a man that I still remember with the greatest of respect, and miss badly, along with other such minded people, that were close to the belated John Foden. I just hope he can't see from where he is now, how things continue to unfold today.

TBH i have to agree with whats said here. First the wording (Which has since been corrected) is completely wrong from a professional point of view, and one which people would expect respect from.

Also from the lack of content and pages "working" surely it's the same as if someone went out, set up a forum but didnt have a login/register option so others could join and post.

IMO the URL is waaaaay too long for people to remember. I'd suggest getting a second domain, one that is considerably shorter. HAve both domains working. But at least it wouldn't take half an hour for people to type out the current one.
