Dear Venomland Members and Friends, Venomland is a little more than 6 years old now and by far the biggest Hot Snake community on the Planet! We want to thank all of you who made Venomland the leading Board. We are also very thankful to our Moderators and Admins for years of hard work. Now, it is time to move on. I have been thinking how to proceed and what to do with our beloved board as we reach a size, that we need to make drastic changes to secure the future of our community. As of now, Venomland is hosted by a free (well mostly free) hosting service. That was good for the first years but now we need to find a new way to run our forum. I have spend hundreds of Dollars over the years to keep Venomland up and running, and i have done so with pleasure. Now, we need your help! We need to come up with several thousand dollars for our Venomland 2.0 project, which i frankly cant pay for any longer by myself. So Venomland is asking his Friends and Members for the first time for their financial Support. Please help to keep Venomland alive, and let us move on to a new, better Portal in the Future! Every Dollar is helping us a great deal. I know, its hard times for everyone, but please spare a few Dollar for our community. If you have only 10 Dollars to spare, we are grateful, if it is more, it would be awesome. We are planning to develop a very new Venomland, with real community functions, a forum like you are already loving it and a real (online) Hot Snake Magazin. Also, there will be download areas for scientific papers, Wallpapers and more. Again folks, we can only do that if you all help. Please send me a Private Message if you want to keep Venomland alive, i will provide you with the details on how to donate Money. For now, we can accept money from creditcards via skrill (please google it, its a free service - account-details will be forwarded to you) and paypal. All the best, and for a (hopefully) nice future of our Board. Mario

Dear members,
some of our members are posting scientific papers now and then. Unfortunately we do not have a system which will make it easy to find these interesting papers later - some of'em have been placed in the "scientific papers" section, some in the genus/species sections - and some of'em just anywhere hidden in different discussions.
To make that a bit easier and clearly arranged, we will set a sticky topic called "scientific papers" at the beginning of every genus/species section.
Sticky means not only that these topics will stay on top, they will be handled by the team only and discussions will not be possible - if you want to discuss a paper, please open a separate topic.
Of course, universal topics which cannot be assigned to one of the genus/species sections will still be found in the global "scientific paper" section.
And of course you all can and should still post links to papers in any discussion where it's needed and helpful - these will be placed aditionally in the scientific papers sticky topics by the team.
It's just annoying to know exactly that there has been posted a link to a special paper - but where........?
With these new topics it should be easier, and i hope they will be used and supported by our members.
best regards
Peter

Hello Peter,
i think it's a really great idea. I have often ben looking for paper's, which I ones have seen and later I couldn't find them anymore.
This change will really make it easier to find the papers which we are looking for.
But what do you do when for example a genus changes? A Trimeresurus is now a Protobothrops (and things like that). Will you post the paper by both genus/species? I think this would be a good solution, but more work for the admin's.
This change will really makes it easier to find the papers which we are looking for.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards Ambros

@Ambros
There are more problems, especially in the Trimeresurus section, since the paper by DAVID, VOGEL & DUBOIS (2011) has been published.
I therefore decided to post all papers concerning Trimeresurus sensu lato in the Trimeresurus general discussions forum.
I know that the splitting of the Trimeresurus forum in different genera sections according to MALHOTRA & THORPE (2004) causes increasing confusion, but i don't see a good and easy way to change that right now.
At least i will add some remarks concerning the belonging to other genera on the forum titles
@Wolfgang
Thanks for supporting this - and thank you for all your interesting papers, especially in the "Naja-section", which will be listed here soon....

A good Idee and I.M.O. not only the admin must do this, we all members has to support this, so it will be a good solution for all. Hope all will follow this line.

Absolutely good!
I think that now this forum will be even more valuable.
Picks, tips and conversation are good to read, but scientific papers do need them own section, i just havnt think about it that they could/shoud be also easyer to get reach.
Thank you Peter! I will be support this step too.
