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

    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.

    Glad to see that I'm not the only one that's been getting love notes in my visitor messages.

    Lol. So you tried to give me negative karma on three separate threads that you didn't even post on. You then run around calling me a drama queen and try to discredit my posts. Now that you realize you aren't getting under my skin and I am losing nothing over it you run to webslave crying that I am being mean? Bahahahaha! You make me laugh. Go find another sand box to play in.

    already messaged WebSlave and hit the report button, just waiting on a reply thanks, and once again you are wrong about me being a scammer, Amy Chiu said and screenshots proved it was Todd Tindols snake not mine, the Tyson Shuler mess was also proved by his own words if you wana go back and finish reading it. You sir are obsessed with me and need to get a girlfriend or something, you are obsessed with running your mouth anywhere you can get a life...

    Only thing im guilty of is being rude in a few threads, so what if I hurt your feelings move on and dont do business with me I could care less but I dont need to be responding to your every stupid move... How do you block someone on here???

    Oh poor Seany. Are you done playing? That's so sad. You want to run around taking digs at me for no apparent reason other than A) I called you out ad a vindictive scumbag and scammer and B) I left you negative karma. Sorry but I will keep playing. If you have a problem go to the mods and have a chat. I am pretty sure they will see who is stalking ( not stocking) who. Good luck.

    You remind me of a little mosquito, buzzing around and around trying to suck blood from whatever you can, when are you going to get swatted away?

    Once again I got another "bad karma" from you oh no...... And this one was the funniest of all so far "Aww. Am i getting on your nerves? Here is a little bit of color to make your day that much better!".

    Also now you want to attack others who have done no wrong to you whatsoever and have no connection to anything you feel you have against me from multihundreds of miles away with all the business I have never done with you... Seriously go get a life already little drama queen mosquito...

    Please move on now! Feel free to leave these messages or delete them I dont care, I deleted the ones you left me way before I tried leaving you any... Go look at the dates on those, you have been following me a long time now, I must be cute to you ;P Also all your post history show this harassment that is clearly outlined in the sticky post from webslave http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=236966 and shows you as a prime example of why people stay away from the fauna BOI or are scared to speak up for others even though they have good info to share...

    Please move on, and ill do the same thanks. GOOD DAY!

    I can get you a screenshot also but would rather just let this be over with lol, move on bud...
    SeanSmith
    rotfl ok, I guarantee their not blank boxes, your say stuff like "you really are scum" and your the one stocking me bud, I could care less what goes on in canada since I have a life. You get on my good guy threads even trying to run your mouth :)
    KORBIN5895
    Actually we aren't trading bad karma. I may be giving you bad karma ( for legitimate reasons) but you are just giving me gray boxes. So yeah, I am fine with that. Speaking of drama queens do you remember the way you started the Tyson thread? Yeah. Just like all the other drivel that comes out of your mouth this is pointless. But since you are taking the time to stalk me I will gladly reciprocate and let you know that no one buys your BS.
    SeanSmith
    Cool man, please go get a life already or at least quit trying to badmouth me when you dont even get your facts together first, we dont need to be trading back and forth bad karma, obviously your right I dont care about bad karma but it seems something you do care about... Surely you can find something better to do with your time than sit on fauna running your mouth, lol your claims dont even stay on topic half of the time and mostly just say things similar to "I agree or disagree or hes a bad guy because he got an e-mail from michael..." At least get the facts straight first instead of just being a "drama queen". Everyone else at least gives good informative comments against me lol. Am I cute to you or something? You seem to have an obsession with me :)
