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

Responding to email notices you receive.
**************************************************
In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Hope all is well Dave, just stopping in to say hello,
I don't think so. Only the area where the bite was. I think it was an alergic reaction.
Ah, I thought they were diffrent spiders. My grandfather was bit on his side and it swelled outward (like a cone) with 2 puncture marks. He's on a farm, in cali, and was just wondering what could cause it. He did get it treated, but was simply wondering what it could have been.
Invert question! What's the toxicity of a violin spider?
Oh Daaaavey!!!
How are you doing you fuzzy devil, you?Hey Dave
Kara...the prof we met in Florida] asked me to contact you on
1000 mixed
500 10 day olds
500 1/4 crickets
she will pay at the show...please reserve for her
also we have a fox snake for your lady in ohio
peace brother
Many thanks for the BD wishes - and I WANT that spider in your pic! LOL
Meet them inbetween. Go in with nothing, if they diagnose you with something that's already been treated, then give the files?
Where are you going? Sounds like kaiser, no knowing know it alls. Have you gone to diffrent hospitals? Outta state etc? Might be worth while?
That's why I hate docs. They don't wanna cure you, they mess you up so you pour more money into them. Stupid doctors.
Damn man, you have such shitty luck.
I hope your docter is more compitent this time. :/
Hey daveness, how's it goin?
LOL-she wants to be a crime scene investigator. Different jobs call for different educations.
Um-yeah-she got this info from an "adopted sister"/friend from Milwaukee. Also gathered lots of info from her forensics class. Gotta love higher learning!!
LOL-I taught Katey everything she knows about accelerants!!
Actually, good old hair spray is awesome, too!! And Pam non-stick spray!!! Liquid Wrench was my first favorite.
Bah! Nvm, it was 2 years ago, I thought it it was a few weeks ago
To donnas below, carb cleaner is best imo :P
For the unwise thread, http://cwise87.gather.com/ look at her "last log in" you might be able to contact the site mods and get an ip trace/do it yourself. It'll give more info as to where there located.
A pyro-just like my Katey!!
Try a BIC lighter and WD-40 to make your own torch.
Just remember-every new exposure to a sting or bite will increase the intensity of the reaction you have.
Hell-you're in worse shape than I am!!!
Last time I got stung, a hornet got under my glasses and stung me all around the orbit of my left eye and across the bridge of my nose.
If you don't think I was cussing a blue streak and screaming my ass off, you know NOTHING, my friend.
Eye socket stings are a WHOLE NEW LEVEL OF PAIN. -
