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

    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.

Be sure to mark your calendars for September 29th & 30th, as we will be attending the Sacramento Reptile Show and will have the LARGEST booth there! If you've never been to a Reptile Show, you're in for a treat!

You are apparently doing well Robert. Do the right thing and pay Bill his money. There are almost 19,000 views on this thread. Keep this up Boy and you won't be able to afford admission into the Sac show in a few years.

From your website:

The Serpentarium is a privately owned 3,000 square foot, 2-story Museum and Reptile Super Store. Established in 1989, The Serpentarium has long been considered, "Lodi's Best Kept Secret."

Established in 1989 by Bill Gillingham you fraud. Pre meditatively stolen by YOU 20 years later.

Pay Gillingham his money, Robert. This crap is catching up with you. Make this right before it's too late.
 
I am curious,is there possible legal ramifications for large purchases(down payment)while under orders or mandates put in effect by the legal system when you file for bankruptcy, and sign legally binding contracts to accept the terms the courts impose on you ?
 
I am confused who Ryan is.. first he says he worked for Robert for three years, then his last post it sounds as if he is Robert...Am I the only one confused here?

SIDE NOTE: GBU opened a pet shop just a couple of minutes away from The serpentarium and unfortunately chooses to jump on ANY opportunity at bashing The Serpentarium simply because they feel that we are competition. Their posts clearly show this, and that in itself says enough about them.

But..I don't understand, Robert. You claim that GBU is a vindictive competitor, who'll stop at nothing to exploit any opportunity to bash your stolen business. Your own employees chose to exercise unlawful control over GBU's property, yet they did nothing about it. It seems to me that someone with an active vendetta against you, would have taken full advantage of your workers' thievery.

The only logical explanation is that you've grossly misrepresented the character of the proprietors of GBU. I suppose that shouldn't come as much of a surprise, having read this thread, I don't believe self-serving misrepresentations are a new trick for you. Before this thread began, I didn't even know GBU existed. However, the more I read, the more I like them. You, Robert, not so much.
 
Yes I'm sure all thieves and other criminals must live by that motto, Robert.

"If you got haters you must be doin' somethin' right."

All of those people who have been hurt by their law-breaking behavior and are disgusted by it, are really simply JEALOUS.
 
Not being able to pay Bill any money for his business he stole, how is he able to have a large area at the Grape Festival here in lodi, and the largest booth at the upcoming Sacramento show? I saw his booth at the grape festival today, sure do wish he was there in person apposed to his employees... could have gotten interesting...
 
For anybody that wants to go say "hi" to the thieves gbu black out on the above post their names are BRENT & JEN. Also they are the reason I got fired from the serpentarium all do to the fact that I complained about having to do all their work on top o doing my own tasks. Robert and Marcy pulled me into their office and actually told me it was unfair for me to cplain about them since I didn't complain about anybody else that worked there. (everyone else did their work duh!) so basically I got fired because since I didn't get along with them.

Robert doesn't care what his employees do well representing his company when still worked there A customer caught BRENT smoking week in the parking lot at the elk grove store well on his break the customer came into the store and told Robert and Marcy what was happening outside and all the did was talk to him. Brent himself was the one that told me about it shows how smart he is
