hey long time no talk!

=====================
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.

I hate people like that.

I'm so sorry, hon!! That really sux!!! I know you love your babies as much as I do, and I'd wanna kick some azz if someone was selling my kids on CL.
Nothing much, hon!!
I laid down for a few hours earlier, and woke at about 1:30. I may go back and try to sleep again in a while.
What's up with you??
later!
are those all the quests? i did all those. i was just wondering if there were any after those 3?
did you do all his quests? what was the quest with the vault stuff? i fixed the air system but made the battle guy leader after that.
oh, what leader did you pick? the battle guy gives it to you, the elder doesnt. at least the upped the level cap
okai, if you say so
the BOS gives it for free at least they did for me. im gunna need to get Veronica
hes frickin pixels... he cant be "attractive"
i LOVE the BOS, more then the boomers actually. sexy power armor? yes plz! they arnt glitchy for me. but then they dont wear the stuff i give em (they kinda cant.... its a dog and a granny LOL)
hmm, ok. and its really funny when you take his beret off. lol.
then get 2 melee as well. the best thing about companions: EXTRA BAG SPACE!!!! WOO!!!!!!!!!!!
that was funny i htink he has a deeper quest later to find his wife (i heard somewhere she wasnt dead) but im not sure. and hes not fun to talk to :/
i had boon and granny i think, its just you cant have 2. but i like having 2 melee to keep everything back while i vats em down or snipe.
Ive only met granny, Rex and boon i wasn't out to get all companions. just the 3 best for my fighting style Rex is a mechanical dog you can get while working for The King
hmm, ok. and you cant do it with boon? hes a good sniper though! >_< i like useing granny and rex
noooo, the game ends after the main quest, remember? (just like 3) i never got that mission, i got him his GF, and even raised the boat, but the boat was the last mission for me. what did you do for that quest to come up?
smart! the boombers are awesome though. my favorite faction TBH. -
