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

    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.

    Utta
    D: well itll pass soon and youll be able to be awl hermitty again in no time :p but you should go out field herpen! I know you used to, should start again :D
    Utta
    :D you can take your time abbehwabbeh. I figured you just went hermit again :p i poked you to see if you were in your shell, or out and lookin for a new one ;P
    Utta
    Eeep! Theeeen *puts mits on you* ha! :p

    Not if, WHEN :D WHEN you get a male lesser huffie! And i figured you would, its be kinda siwwie not to. Being a brand new gene and all, the possibilities are pretty much endless. But lesser huffies are going to be some of the smexiest out of the huffies. A fire huffie might be smexie too though :eek:

    Course ya do :p what DONT ya need? :pPP

    *picks you up* well, what now? Youre on top of the world already :p :D
    Utta
    w0000t! you deserve it abbeh! <3

    haha, no kiddin. stop being nervous all the time! *poke*

    maybe get rid of the male lesser huffie so you can afford more stuff for different projects? i mean, you can always do the same pairing next year. but then again, you could get a female mojo for next season, use your male lesser huffie, then you have a chance at your mojoxlesser BEL. (might also carry the huffie gene in there, but you most likely wont be able to tell) and you could wind up with mojo huffies as well. so many options! keep everything but the normals! :pP

    hardly anyone gets what they need in the odds department, but that is amazing! he lucked out BIG time! :D (but you can beat that, all 5 as pewters ;) )
    Utta
    No problemo :p you ever need a confidence booster, you know where i is :D

    Sure thing! Hes a really nice guy and cares a lot about his emeralds.

    Thats fine :p its another marker for abbehwabbeh :p "cuiticles that she bites, funky colours nail polish thats chipping away, etc" :p

    Oh! Lol, i thought you ment just 3 huffys lol. Well, what would you do with 1.1 lesser huffys? Sell the male? Or keep him and all fricken 6 of the normals? :p if you do get those #'s youre wanting, you wont have much to sell :p aim higher! HIGHER!!! :DDD

    its so true! :p its always funkeh and chipped and.well. ABBEHWABBEHD! :D

    lol, realistically? i see more then that. i see at LEAST half will be huffys.
    Utta
    lol! your vanity, or the hermit thing? ;)

    umm, ill give you his email addy if you want? you can ask for pics of his biggest girl he has for sale, and tell him i sent ya his way. i believe they have to be 4 to breed. ALL the girls?! ALL?! hope you have enough room! im seein 10 girls in those eggies! ;)

    good! its one of your markers! :p like tracks on a het pied! :pP
    Utta
    lol, its a shame though! you is awesome sausome abbehwabbeh! :D

    not for an animals that almost half way to safe breeding age, and is CBB, not really :D lets hope those cute little huffies sell like hot cakes!

    yay!! *parts smiley* and no! D: thats not acceptable! paints dem!
    Utta
    yay! youre not just an Internet-Hermit though, youre just a Hermit :pPP

    $600 i believe (id imagine + shipping as hes local lol) as for the colour of the hybrids, i honestly have no idea. i think it has a lot to do with which locale you choose to pair, and what colour phase amazon. i dont think a yellow amazon and an anaconda phase ETB will give you green babies, but i could be 100% wrong.

    he IS an interesting looking boy! i love how each amazon is just so different and weird from one another :p and yes, i do knows you :p just sayin i wants a few of your pics! the more abbeh-nails in it, the better! :DDDDDD
    Utta
    heh :pP im as good as the best, they say. and i guess youre the best at that :DD

    yes you do! i love your photography though, so send me some of him when you take some pics too. i hope you do breed em, no such thing as too many "demon shoestrings" :p how cute? want it still red? or so you care if shes already green and kinda big? (local breeder to me has a big 09 female for sale and shes ADORABLE)
    Utta
    didnt see it! guess ill respond to both! :D

    i like ETB's better, ATBs are too stringy :p i cant wait till you gets an ETB though :D youll love em. and yes, those hybrids are amazing. i love almost all of em. you should totally add ATBs to your breeding list!

    Abbehwabbeh! i see that now, and i sowwie! i responded above, and now shall continue this with a *poke*

    yes! check your PM's! :pP
    Utta
    Pics! PICS!!!!! The funkeh abbeh is back! :p

    Oh wow. She looks like brees ATB haha :D why you get ATB? Gunna pick up an emerald and move those hybrids :p
