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

LOL...bro, I uploaded a bunch of pics into the "Photo Gallery" section of the site (not the galleries on my user profile) and someone left a comment, pretty much accusing me of being a shark nazi....LOL!!!
DUDE...LOL...no worries all at man. I know you were joking. Cudas are actually commonly referred to as a s#@t fish. They have this slim coating on them, and once they flop around on the boat, then the rest of the trip it REEKS lol. Also, the older cudas (anything above 18" or so) should NOT be eaten...they have this bacteria in them that will give you the worst case of food poisoning ever. Even the small cudas taste like rotten meat lol.
People ask me all the time "why do you go for cudas?!?!" Thats why i sent you that vid link..because since they literally smell like death...they make GREAT bait
. So no worries bro...I took NO offense from your comment at all .
I have tiger retic hachlings I m taking to the portland metro expo. If I have any left when I get back, Ill be let,n em go for 95.00 if you know anybody interested
Now I feel like a jackass for opening up an old wound... He probably misses you more than hate if anything...
You've got big snakies =)
open mouth to the curb first... that's shitty, how old was he when you guys first got together? he probably misses you like crazy... i'm sorry =/
as for the red tails, i had 2, billy and mandy full grown, i had couldn't keep them any longer since i was preggers at the time. mandy always made me nervous because she'd constrict right around my stomach everytime i took her out. billy was mommy's favorite.
I took the kid 3-4 days a week for about a year after we split then she called me one day out of the blue and said I couldnt see him anymore. I never got to say goodbye.......................1000 dirty diapers and bike riding lessons and thats that? that was a year ago and its still painful, yeah, I know blah blah blah
just curb her a little bit? ok...................... lots?
aww, what a cunt! want me to beat her up =p did you guys just called it quits one day? i know not my business, so you don't have to tell me shit =p
i couldn't imagine anyone taking my demon spawns away from me... they're evil as hell, but i love em =)
i'll let you in on a little secret... chicks dig "the family man" kinda guy... you're definitely being bumped to #2 =p
You should YouTube a song you could be a rock star, oi oi oi ... haha i'll stop.
How long ago? What kind of music did you play... Kilt?
Bagpipes, kilt, and Nessy... I'm game! Yeah, I wonder if anyone's replied on a serious note... I should offer 25k and see if he bites =p Let me just pull it out of my Oprah Winfrey savings account and I'll wire the money via Western Union and I should be getting them kittens in no time!
On another note, I'll be happy as #2, you're #3, but I think #2 is gonna be demoted since #1 makes him nervous, so you'll be right there. Let's get our synchronized watch set. Ready...Set... Gooo!
Music, what is it that you fancy?
lol That's awesome, take a joke, sheesh! I can put you on my wait list as my next ex husband, if you'd like =p
I get all softy when the balls are eating live rat pups. I have a tendency of saving a couple... I love that only 1 eats live, cant' wait till it gets on f/t. I only have 2 rats as of now, one's the size of a guinea pig... His name is Murphy, Dropkick Murphy... I had a nekkid one named Molly as in Flogging Molly =p But she was a bitch so I gave her to someone who took her babies as PETS only... I hope, well the girl came and picked them up and showed me the rest of he gang at her house, so I was ok with it.
Awww... piggies! Any live? There was a swap over the weekend, so many people were selling retics... One show I'm stoked for is the NARBC... One of the people who run it is from here, Brian Potter... He's a cool guy... and his sidekick that I always see at the shop who I call my future ex-husband =D
Pick me up something cool when you go! (joke! but if you want to, i'm not gonna argue =p)
Honestly, I don't know shit about GTPs but I just think they're pretty and not the most friendliest snakes. And you hit it right on the head, it was almost $300.
That's alot of cages and HUGE snakes. Do they eat bunnies? They must have monster turds too.
Deepseeded love... It sounds like foreplay you freak! Sounds like an interesting job, I want to become Oprah rich one day too... I know a bearded dragon breeder who pretty much bought her house by breeding and selling veileds and dragons. She's such good peoples =)
Went to the local swap today and I was eyeing a baby gtp. Was the prettiest thing, it was deep red with a little bit of blue speckles... Then there were adults $100 cheaper than the baby sitting next to it in a different tank that were mean muggin me. What'd you do today?
Thank you! I like your avatar now. I think it would be bad ass if you use Captain Planet... He's my hero!
What type of work do you do? So 60hrs of work and then the evil switch is flipped?
As you can see, I was pretty bored lastnight... I was actually IMing my buddies to come over and just juggle for me... I'll be happy with someone juggling for 10mins which is enough to make me happy for the whole night/day. -
