One of my favorite places to go, Labretriever.net had just this one cryptic message when I went to look at it just now...

Again a few idiots have ruined things for alot of people. The board is closed. Offers of 5K US and over will be considered. Proof of income provided to serious buyers only. Send all enquiries to the webmaster.
Gosh, I wonder what happened? That forum would often have a hundred users an hour... Busiest site I have yet seen...
Big time sucks. That forum was huge. I find it real hard to believe. Musta been legal problems, or something. Dunno, the "in crowd" over there were a bunch of rescue people. Mostly I stayed on other threads, mostly off topic stuff. I had a couple people from my breed club join me there...guess I will have to ferret out the good gossip on what went down. It's a shame I did not know of it beforehand. There were some real educated heavy posters over there that I wish I could bring to this board. Lots of health topics. Zen Cat was one of the brightest dog health/alternate medicene people that I ever read post on...
Thats so wierd. I never posted there but I read a lot. I went there earlier today and got that message. I thought something was wrong and it would be back up later. Guess not.

Looks permanent. 5K is kinda cheap sounding for the most popular forum on the web... The admin there has a new baby, an xbox forum... maybe he is a real young guy, that did not expect to get all the many problems that the most popular site on the web would entail Dunno.
Well, the Just Labs forum has the gossip hitting the fan now. Apparently, the admin at LR.net is just messing with people's heads. Now this message is posted on that vboard that comes up instead of the forum there. Strange. Very strange. Proves that you don't know people very well on the internet. I had noticed that the admin there had been posting along with the rest of us over there lately. Unlike Ansy, who has always been a big part of this board, that guy was not noticable up until recently, then he does this oops, forgot to put the message he wrote...

Thanks everyone for the emails I appreciate both the nice and not nice feedback I recieved. I was touched by the thanks you gave to the board helping you with your training or even saving your adopted dogs life. I have no idea why. after I ask so many times for people to behave and keep posts on track so that you don't start a riot that some of you still continue to do so. It is completely disrespectfull to me, the mods and other members of the board. I guess it also shows that some of you are completely immature, socially inept, lonely individuals that have no life other than trying to incite people on a web board. It is really sad and pathetic, I hope you get the psychiatric help that you so desperately need. I will reopen the board later today as I am in a golf tourney for the better of the day. I have banned or taken posting priveleages away from a few of you. You will see who you are when the board opens and basically I don't want you here anymore. Again, I thank everyone who has the social skills to act like an advanced primate when in the company of others as oppossed to the prosimians that are ruining this board. On a side note I have no idea why people can think that they can use my PM and Mail System to promote their own endeavours. Buy a vowel, I already spelled that one out. It calls for an immediate banning. No questions asked. It's too bad the good things you do have to suffer because of you lack of business sense.
Not very nice note, huh? Sure was a nice forum though. Sad.
