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

    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.

Bad Guy BOB CLARK A MAN WHO LIKES TO LIE PLAY GAMES AN WASTE TIME

It's not just a hobby for some of us. I work for Bob, I'm the manager and it's my only job and I'm there full-time. We've even spoken on the phone about the aforementioned Morlet's Crocs... Permits for species that we do not regularly deal with can take 4-6 months or more to prepare. Then you include a problem like the one with the toe tags and it can turn into a headache.

Hopefully people read the first page before they pass judgment on us...:NoNo:
 
Not according to the IP address logged with these two quoted messages. It says you are in Oregon.

The IP Address is: 50.43.XX.24
The host name is: static-50-43-XX-24.bvtn.or.frontiernet.net

Like I said Justin/Jason, you sir are a liar! (BTW, that is how you spell liar, not lier)

I have a feeling that you will be waiting a long time for any crocodilian, as you have the knack for making a complete nuisance of yourself, till they no longer wish to do business with you.

I have serious doubts that you are 31 & if you are, your school system failed you miserably.

Mmmmhmmm... Preach Melissa!

Call me an a$$, but I probably wouldn't ever sell a crocodilian to someone who was unable to draft simple sentences without major mistakes in grammar, spelling, and punctuation. I admit, I even have issues with those occasionally as a doc student, but I still use spell check. Careless writing in that manner is extremely unprofessional. Someone who is unprofessional shouldn't own dangerous species of reptiles, period. Furthermore, I doubt I would do any business with someone who was so unprofessional in their public voice via forums or other sources of internet postings. If someone is unprofessional, that makes me second guess business ethics if something goes awry.

I might be overreacting, but image is everything in this business.
 
WOW, a bad guy thread involving Bob Clark. That's a crack up..... I had to flip my computer upside down just to make sure i read it right. Justin having 15 years in the reptile game you should know that importing take a while. I would have to say that Bob has the fastest CITIES turnaround yet on most animals he brings into the US. I've worked with Bob for over 15 years. Bob, thank you for bringing this guy out of the woodwork. Justin, Looks like you have made a name for yourself here. And if you ever get access to crocs you should be thankful. After seeing this thread, anyone that works with crocs probably won't want to work with you.
 
Ridiculous

What a way to try to ruin a reputable breeder like Bob Clark's name. Sounds like the op has personal issues. I can't read this thread anymore. Sounds like an Mjay rant!

Warning: Just between you and me (and anyone else reading this thread) your TIME here is very limited if you do not provide the identity info my moderators have requested of you. Your TRUE identity has come into question and that really needs to be resolved VERY soon. If we have to ban you till you comply, then we will most certainly do that. Dawdle not....
 
Just to point out though, my IP address probably doesnt show me being in SLeepy Eye Mn, even though Iam. AT least concerning this individuals location...which is an aside, the real issue is that he is being a nuisance to reputable breeders to the popint they have to stop taking his calls and now this
 
Also, there is no reason on earth this guy should have a crocodile of any sort. Im all for having to file for a permit and a license just for the sake of keeping them out of the hands of people like this. You should have to be able to prove you have the accomadations to house one as well as take a course on proper safety measures and be prepared to have your set up inspected AS WELL the individual should be tested for mental capacity and maturity.

I consider myself a fair person and understand people making mistakes but you really make it hard for someone to excuse your actions as your so adamant in repeating them. You have continuously misunderstood nearly every post anyone has made on here and your responses show it. I can't tell if your genuinely dense or just having fun keeping this thread going.

The fact is you created a thread slandering someone and their business practices without ever doing business with them. It took a lot of people quite awhile to get you to understand that simple fact.

Then you are lying(and I hate saying someone is lying, but you are so clearly doing so) about your location. Why your lying about it I'm not sure of, still as the mods said your I.P. address tells them where your currently making your posts from. Unless your some computer guru whose bouncing your signal off of satellite's to confuse anyone trying to locate you and based on the responses you've given I highly doubt that's within' your realm of capabilities. Which would mean your lying.

You've also made claims to owning some very exotic animals as if that some how justifies your bad actions or in any way makes you appear better or more intelligent. It doesn't, not that I actually believe you necessarily either. I mean it's quite apparent that a lot of foolish people have gotten their hands on some exotic animals legally and illegally and where completely uninformed yet maintained them for a little while without incident before all hell broke loose for them. Still I doubt anyone would sell an exotic legal or otherwise to you as your personality would make them worry about the ramifications of selling to you and your actions after purchase and there impact in regards to both you and themselves.

Further more you've been combative and most times your combative responses haven't been intelligible. Like offering for people to come to Wyoming to see proof that you've kept exotics. Why not just post some pics or other proof, my guess is because you have none. You quote yourself as if your being attacked by yourself/ offer people money to rectify this situation as if that's a valid fix and offer to make a Good Guy thread. None of that changes the fact that a man's name has been thrown out there and unnecessarily tarnished. Seriously as patient a man as I am even I would never be able to take you seriously after your actions. They've been unintelligent, damaging and childish with no sign of remorse or understanding.
 
Justin your way of thinking just blows my mind. First you come on here trying to tarnish a very well known and reputable breeder. Second you come on here with nothing but lies and then start trying to bribe people. And third (this is what really baffles me) you go onto another thread and defend a known bad guy that has stolen thousands of dollars worth of snakes from another guy. REALLY? What planet do you come from? You really need to take a step back and analyze your life big guy. Your way of thinking and methods in life are all jacked up.
