Do you have a story of being caught before you were legit or do you know someone who ran into problems because they weren't legit?

Please share your story with us.

[maelawncare]

no story here. but i did use one of those on the cafe http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

[tlclismore]

Just a thought, how about one of those that doesn't say how long you have been in business. Some guy's might not like to admit that they have only been in business for a short time and other guy's might not like letting people know that they have been in the business since mosses was a baby ....lol. Also helps with the anonimity of the internet

[Steve]

Great idea. Here is one that doesn't include a year.

Great guy's but there is a mistake in your code.
http://www.gophergraphics.com/images/stronger.gif
does not exist, you need to put it in that directly or grant rights to the directory

[Steve]

Thanks, got it working now.

[tlclismore]

I was going to give it a run on the pro boards in AUS but you stole my thunder...lol http://www.gophergraphics.com/forum/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif

[Steve]

Hi tlclismore,

I would really like to hear your stories or the stories you have heard from others about problems they ran into.

Before I had my contractors license about 12 years ago....I did a job, full landscape, lighting, irrigation, grading.....The guy turned me into the board because I never came and hauled off a 20 foot length of 1.5 inch pipe...

Cost me 1000 in fines.....forced me to get licensed....my business exploded after that because I felt more legitimate and more confident.


Short story, big lesson.

guy here was busted years ago digging up trees (small ones) and bushes from the croatan national forest to resell to his customers.
turned out he had no insurance, business liscense, etc...
the theft of the croatan material was a felony and landed him in jail for quite a while ( the drugs he had in his truck didn't help things out any).

Thanks for the images for the forum signatures. They're nice.
