Probably, but this forum has existed for less than a year. If I remember correctly, it started in June or July.

I hope not, and I would think Jason would tell us if this was true or not.

[Stefan-A]

Look, they are referring to the previous owner of Thamnophis.com. We've been trough this before.

[Snaky]

Indeed, it's about the previous owner.

[abcat1993]

Was this a forum before? Or did he sell snakes or what?

[ssssnakeluvr]

thats an oooold post...before this domain name was bought. Jurgen Chlebowy was the owner of the site. It was the biggest and most informative garter snake site out there. Jurgen got out to pursue other interests. I think he kept his snakes tho.

You are correct; Jürgen owned the domain and had it for sale. While the site had had an English as well as a German forum, they were merged with another forum before he shut down his site. I am not positive, but I think the other forum later folded.

I had been trying to track down information on garter snakes on the internet, and when I could not find a forum dedicated to them decided to build one. That was just over a year ago. So I bought the domain and got to work.

As Stefan-A pointed out, we are quickly coming up on our one year anniversary and no, the site is not for sale.
