    =====================

    I am still waiting on my developer to finish up on the Classifieds Control Panel so I can use it to encourage members into becoming paying members. Google Adsense has become a real burden on the viewing of this site, but honestly it is the ONLY source of income now that keeps it afloat. I tried offering disabling the ads being viewed by paying members, but apparently that is not enough incentive. Quite frankly, Google Adsense has dropped down to where it barely brings in enough daily to match even a single paid member per day. But it still gets the bills paid. But at what cost?

    So even without the classifieds control panel being complete, I believe I am going to have to disable those Google ads completely and likely disable some options here that have been free since going to the new platform. Like classified ad bumping, member name changes, and anything else I can use to encourage this site to be supported by the members instead of the Google Adsense ads.

    But there is risk involved. I will not pay out of pocket for very long during this last ditch experimental effort. If I find that the membership does not want to support this site with memberships, then I cannot support your being able to post your classified ads here for free. No, I am not intending to start charging for your posting ads here. I will just shut the site down and that will be it. I will be done with FaunaClassifieds. I certainly don't need this, and can live the rest of my life just fine without it. If I see that no one else really wants it to survive neither, then so be it. It goes away and you all can just go elsewhere to advertise your animals and merchandise.

    Not sure when this will take place, and I don't intend to give any further warning concerning the disabling of the Google Adsense. Just as there probably won't be any warning if I decide to close down this site. You will just come here and there will be some sort of message that the site is gone, and you have a nice day.

    I have been trying to make a go of this site for a very long time. And quite frankly, I am just tired of trying. I had hoped that enough people would be willing to help me help you all have a free outlet to offer your stuff for sale. But every year I see less and less people coming to this site, much less supporting it financially. That is fine. I tried. I retired the SerpenCo business about 14 years ago, so retiring out of this business completely is not that big if a step for me, nor will it be especially painful to do. When I was in Thailand, I did not check in here for three weeks. I didn't miss it even a little bit. So if you all want it to remain, it will be in your hands. I really don't care either way.

    =====================
    Some people have indicated that finding the method to contribute is rather difficult. And I have to admit, that it is not all that obvious. So to help, here is a thread to help as a quide. How to become a contributing member of FaunaClassifieds.

    And for the record, I will be shutting down the Google Adsense ads on January 1, 2025.

Yes, I was a little rude to caskdam. I apologize to those people reading this. I have been in contact with others that purchased the other reptiles and did not ask for them back. I really think the reps have been through enough moving around. I was mad, and that's not an excuse. Thank you Dennis, for all the work into this.
 
Hey no worries, I hope I didn't come off as harsh to you either. It looks like your suspicions are proving true though. I'd just recommend more tact next time, you might catch her in the open. Good job, Mr. Hultman.
 
I can't even believe I just read what I read. Makes me think of that movie Catfish. (Google it if you want)

This just goes to prove the lengths some people go to on the internet and multiple personalities and accounts. Truly sad.

If I only learned one thing from this thread its that it would be foolish to think you can outsmart/lie your way to "success" on this board. There are truly some amazingly sharp people on this board.

I work in Atlanta and lived in a suburb there, until recently with a contracting job. I usually spend my falls in Florida, sometimes in Tampa, Orlando, Panama City, A'cola and have even headed to Miami a few times. It looks like you all have a conspiracy theory going here for a newcomer. I use hotspot on my cell phone that is with Sprint, used to be a T-mobile hotspot. I replied on this add cause I know that girl and have done business with her a lot. If something of mine is stolen I want to know. I asked about the leopard because it looked like the photo she had up when I first got it. I purchased a blue tongue from the pet store that I posted the name address and number to earlier. The guy said they don't have them in often. I have several friends that helped me post adds on craigslist. If you post the same ad they remove it. I don't plan on giving away any of the animals but asked about the leopard because if it was hers and she can give me proof I would try and help. I know for a fact the blue tongue was not stolen the guy said he got him from an order and showed me a lot of other things that came in the same order. some weird looking stuff is why i remember
 
my emails alli.dart.74@gmail if you want to contact me strait I was trying out the web to see if I could do more with the animals but it looks like you are closed group

That's a real close one considering that business was established in 2010.

Not true, they tell you to change it up, and refuse to post it, if it's too similar. Once you change it up a little, and I really do mean a LITTLE, it's accepted, and posted.


I made a fake email address to try to help out Dennis in weeding her out. these are our correspondences:

Howz it goin, Noticed your add on craigslist about the leoz, and the one on the bottom right is tight. have any of its babiez fo sale yet?

to me

She won't have hatchlings until late in the season, July or August. Babies will be Tremper Albino Pastel x Tremper A.P.T.O.R. Dad is first photo, Mom is second photo.

I already have deposits on first 5 hatchlings from other breeders, as of now, next available is going to be around November, give or take.

These are going to be $100ea. Any flaws, tail or finger nips, underbite, etc. knocks the price down.
I am taking deposits on only 3 more hatchings, but will start notifying the waiting list after her first 4 clutches (8 hatchlings) hatch.

If you want to be put on the waiting list, to be contacted after the first 8 go, let me know.

If you want to place a deposit on any of the 3 hatchlings let me know. Deposits are 40% ($40) and are refundable if she doesn't produce enough offspring for buyer to get their gecko.

I use paypal for most deposits. But this add was on craigslist so you'll probably just want to wait until after the first 8 go. Personally, I wouldn't put a deposit on something off craigslist.

I temperature sex all my leos to be female unless buyer request a male.

Thanks & Happy New Years
Candace

Wow! Just... wow! That's all I can say about this. Flag that ad?!? Really? Is that the best you can do??? Tell ya what, how 'bout you stop the continuances, so we can all get on with our lives. Seriously. Did someone steal your email now too?

is the incoming call I have a print out of waaaaayyyyyyy back in April on my Sprint account. Thank you for the reminder! You're awesome! Candace, Scott, Kira, Alison, whoever at the time... please... think that I'll let this go. Please keep up the continuances, and other delays. You haven't, obviously, dealt with someone like me.... kind of makes me want to do an internet search for others that you have hurt, and taken advantage of and show up for your next court date. I really almost feel bad for you. That you think you can talk your way out of everything. As to quote, (and I hope you don't mind)... "What the Crap!?"
