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

    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 memnoch1970

cat..... this is what im talking about. that was not aimed at you or anyone in particuliar. thankyou CAT and all who had something decent to say. im just sayin there are alot of people who come to this section of the forum for entertainment. to stir shit up etc etc.

If a person in a situation such as yours were to simply come here, make an honest and heartfelt apology, and make things right....there's not much people can stir.

When someone comes in throwing insults, well....it's just throwing gasoline on a match you've already lit, and you may end up blowing up those who stood by you as well as those who didn't.

Anyway....I hope you do make things right. Best of luck to all involved.
 
I want to say that Mem is a good guy. He had a death in the family and did not answer any emails or post for about 2 1/2 weeks I believe he said he would be gone.

He got back and his roommate who was taking care of all his animals decided to sell it to other people. So before you put the blame on a good person, why don't you email them first? Find out what happened? I don't believe this thread should have EVER Been made. You ruined someones rep by not trying to figure out what happened first!!
 
I don't know, at 2:00 AM the same day he said in that e-mail that he was already out of town on "a job". Could be he actually had a death in the family, could be he is stalling for time, no way to know for sure. I do find it ironic that he isn't keeping in touch with people he owes dragons considering the thread he started on here previously regarding being owed money for a dragon deal. I seem to recall he posted several times a day about the matter and had little interest in hearing any excuses from the guy as to why he wasn't paying him or communicating...

You know, why would someone give their personal information on why they're going out of town? People say shit all the time, esp. when and if it's a family death.. Not many people want to talk about family deaths, as its painful!

Excuse me if you think I'm defending him, but he's a good guy and would never SCREW people intentionally!!!

for me . i was a cop years a go and i told him on his voice message that i had his address his phone and his bank with all his info , and if he knew anything about the law at all his signature was on my check and so is his girl freinds , i would take him to court and file charges agenst him for fraud , i would also file for any costs incured for doing so and that includes plaine tickets , he could be facing jail time and so could his girl for sineing it . also , this would be more expensive then returning my money and i gave him a certain amount of days to contact me , then i followed up with his voice again, this is why he contacted me back .it seems like from how he talks a big part of his money is from buying and selling . and thats no way to keep aflote , but if he don't have the money to give back he needs time to dig it up . i just keep on him until i get it . no threts just facts . this guy don't want to sit jail time someone presses charges on him he is goin to be sittin in jail and have a perminant mark on his record . no one will ever hire him for nothin,he will be screwed . he called back fuck was in his words a lot of times and telling me not to threten him , i told him i am not thretning just stateing the facts.,,,,,,,,,,,

And I know I'm late on this, but I hate to say it, because you were a cop year ago doesn't make the right for YOU to harass and threaten him. Do you know how bad thats against the law? I don't give a rats ass if you used to be a cop or not.. That is so wrong in so many ways. I hope karma gets back at you.

"no threats just facts" --- Bull crap thats not a threat.
 
cat..... this is what im talking about. that was not aimed at you or anyone in particuliar. thankyou CAT and all who had something decent to say. im just sayin there are alot of people who come to this section of the forum for entertainment. to stir shit up etc etc.

I've personally suffered 3 quite tragic family deaths in the past few years, and I promise you, they pretty much screwed up my mind, as I didn't have the money to go and bury them. And I also didn't spend my customers money to go.

So I'm just curious, what makes you think you can go and do this to your customers, put them on hold without contact, spend their money, and then just say you're "going to make things right", and everyone is just supposed to be good with that?

Why should people be any more understanding of you, then you were of your customer that made similar claims to you? Didn't you say in a mail to that customer that you basically didn't give a crap what excuse he was laying on you? Or words to that effect. Now the table is turned, and you want a sympathetic ear. :NoNo:

Whether you like it or not, whether you agree with it or not, YOU made some poor choices of questionable honesty, and some few of us have become suspicious of it. And now we're "gossip queens", because we see something others don't?

It's the whole ethics thing behind YOUR VERY OWN actions that brought the comments made about you. Try owning them, instead of calling names. You, yourself, brought this thread on. Not anyone else.

Really? Because that doesn't at all jive with the time line posted earlier in the thread. He was contacting people saying he didn't have the dragons or the money prior to his alleged return. Interesting that this new "excuse" has popped up regarding the roommate selling his animals.

So before you put the blame on a good person, why don't you email them first? Find out what happened?

His CUSTOMERS were e-mailing and calling him. They couldn't find out "what happened" or anything else because he wasn't replying or calling them back.

He ruined his reputation all by himself. If he actually follows through on his promises and makes things right it will help; but he should have NEVER spent their money before giving them what they purchased. I don't care what circumstances may or may not have arisen. And, "my roommate sold the animals while I was out of town" is a pretty lame excuse; not to mention it isn't very original.
 
Crotal - When did it show he spent the money he got from his customers?

Wow. Maybe I missed it, but I highly doubt it.

Post #25

well for now i am finished with this . i spoke to chris he said he was out of town . and he in fact did not have dragons to give me , he also said that he did not have my money, but he was going to make it up to me , he would pay me back my money in a fue weeks and when he has dragons again he would sell me some at a super deal , i am not looking for any kind of deals . just my money back.

Of course you can say "How do we know that she really spoke to him and that she isn't telling a lie". It's called credibility; she has some, Chris has none.
 
This could be true, but without a tape recording, or actual proof that was said.. I actually read part of that last night; and other replies... So yeah, without actual proof that was said, I don't feel that he should be blamed into this drama. There was only email said, no voice recordings of what was said. Anyone can turn that into something it's not, but anyone can also change what was stated in email, as its not a fine copy unless you print copy.

Noone knows me here correct, but Memn is a great guy... I really don't see him screwing "these" people, unless these people are out for drama where it's not needed... Just my two cents.

He is a great guy? "This could be true" "but there is no proof", you said it yourself....

What we have is at least three people who sent him money and didn't get what they paid for.

His list of excuses keep growing
1. My brother died, I had to go out of town.
2. I was out of town on "a job"
3. That wasn't me logged in while I was supposed to be away, it was my girlfriend on my account.
4. My computer crashed because my roommates downloaded porn.
5. My roommate sold everything while I was out of town.

Here's a question for you since you know how great a guy he is:

6 months ago, when he was ripping a guy that owed him money for doing the exact same thing he is doing, he claims that he lived with his girlfriend. Does he still live with her? If so, since she wasn't out of town supporting him during his time of great crisis dealing with the "death in the family" as evidenced by excuse #3, why wasn't she watching their "other roommates" that were downloading porn and selling all of his animals that were paid for prior to his emergency?:shrug01:
 
easy there psycho

Chris, I wasn't banned from talk to the frog....you so crazy!:rofl:
that's the other nathan you are talking about
 
frogstyle thanks for saying that, but dont worry about it. gecko den is one of these people i was telling you about. he has no stakes in this matter yet feels the need to keep it going. hes on alot of other threads ive seen just stirring up shit. hes a gossip queen . anyway i was out of own on a job when the accident happened, left my affairs with someone i thought i could trust and came back to a mess. its that simple.yes i should of found a way to contact these 3 people. if i really wanted to screw them, i could of just said... hey i sent those animals , i dont know what your talking about. and they couldnt of proved otherwise. my point is im trying to make it right... so just leave it alone. the merchandise was there when there money was sent. it was not there to send them when i returned. period simple as that. i was wrong and im trying to correct it. the people that were wronged are the only ones here who should be responding now. but im sure gecko will have to have his last say as we all know he will, so go ahead gossip queen get your last word in.

No its not that simple, gecko den is not just trying to stir things up.

At least 3 people have come forward to say you scammed them. 1 person and maybe you get the benefit of the doubt. 3 and your a lying POS scumbag.

Theres no fooling anyone here, you took money and never sent out what was ordered. now its simple.....make it right!
 
Chris, this is an open forum for those that have input. As one of the people that have been wronged, I am going to say that I agree whole heartedly with what Gecko Den said in their last post. Just as I won't deny Frog Style for coming to your aid, I won't deny others from voicing their opinion. I consider myself an intelligent person and all the excuses I hear are just one after the other and do not follow logic. The night that you had had time to post on the frog site about your brother's death, you could have taken two minutes to contact me by email and let me know what was up. Instead, myself and two others were blown off for over a week. What did you expect to happen? The time for excuses is over. I don't want excuses, I don't want promises, I don't want apologies, I want money. I think we have all suffered tragic losses, I know I have, it's no excuse for blowing someone off.

Sure Chris, I'll get the last word in; matter of fact I'll just use your words. Amazing how you try to hold someone that owes you money to a higher standard than you hold yourself. Once the shoe was on the other foot you are all about wanting time and understanding as the BS excuses flow...

it seems years ago he was a decent guy to deal with. but theres nothing good recently said about the guy. its to bad . some good people start out that way and get temted by the dark side.

i just want my money period... he owes, wont return phone calls or emails. there is no excuse for him or anyone else who feels they need to chime in with excuses for him. period end of discussion. pay your debts or get slammed in the forums very simple.

yeah you got to love the family dieing bit right..... come on you see what im dealing with. now you see why i was pissed at some of the people for defending an obvious liar........

cyber , did you read the excuses he gave me. cmon man that is the lamest bunch of krap ive ever heard. first hes deadly ill with pneumonia, then the check is lost in the mail, then his dad is on his death bed. :rolleyes: . all in one week yeah right.

the whole reason this was brought to this forum was he simply could not return a phone call or email. period. all he had to do was say man im a little strapped for cash right now, can you give me a little more time. thats all im reasonable.

first off your medical problems are your problems, period. i dont care who the hell is sick. not my problem. second you said payment on delivery not 3 weeks later with every lie in the book to go with it. 3rd... why dont you post on the board here???? ill tell you why cause you know your wrong , and everyone here will tell you that. you cant even answer the phone, or call someone back. you dont want to talk to me call stephanie. oh i forgot your deathly ill with pnuimonia, and bronchitis your well enough to get on the computer though. pay up allen..
 
Thanks for posting those, Sam - you saved me the trouble of digging them up.
Kind of funny how he thinks HIS thread should be left alone, and only the people that were wronged by him should comment now; while he runs off and bumps several of Ed's threads for the sole purpose of calling him names & drawing attention to them (because Ed posted here)
 
Maybe he hopes to get banned so he'll have an excuse for not clearing up his money issues?
It's funny what we refuse to tolerate from others, but then later on, we want to do the same actions without any repucussions.
It's like karma. Instead of ranting and raving, just make it right, be reasonable, and make the people happy. Maybe you could salvage a reputation, if you admitted to a mistake, repaid the funds and acted in a professional manner.
Rushing around trying to point fingers at people uninvolved just makes you look worse.

How ironic chris, you show no compassion for anyone else. yet you ask for compassion from others. :>poke2<:

These guys that you have wronged need refunds for dragons you sold that you did not have.
 
money

frog man who ever you are . you have nerve to say anything about me , i think i know the law just a little bit more then you unless you have been on the other side of the bars .(if you ever was on the right side of the bars you would understand some times others fuck up without meaning to and then thier are the other ones) if you think i am lying you need to READ all the posts including my cashed check. if chris said he mailed out the dragons he STILL would have to show proof. so i think unless you want to pay me the money he oues me i think you need to keep a negative opinion to your self . i have said NOTHING real bad about the guy i said i am giving him time to corect it , and i am stating the facts that i dont have to just sit and be a victom. all i see is that you are a ignorint son of a bitch that don't realy know your ass from a hole in the ground . but then wisdom comes with age and you still need to grow . SO LETS TALK ARE YOU SAYING BEST BIG MOUTHED FREIND YOU VOLENTER TO PAY US AND LET CHRIS WORK IT OUT WITH YOU ? :shootfoot
and i did try to make contact with chris befor this line was made . yes he fucked up and needed to call . or at least his girl she is on my check . so the blame isnt totaly on him . and he said he is goin to clear it up . so lets see . unless like i said are you offering . cause i think you would be pissed if someone cashed your check , with no merchandice.
 
frog

NOW LETS SEE HOW GOOD OF FRIEND ARE YOU > OR JUST A BIG MOUTH>
