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

    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.

Are you blind as well. He mention the thead in hell on post#5 not me. Quit acting like you have amnesia or cant you remember reading the begining of this thread Brian.

No Nic, we did not say who brought it up first. You lied because you said:

Nic, turn off the computer, grab some vodka, turn on the TV, and relax.

The more you post, the deeper the hole you are digging.
 
nicolai said:
Another Lie!!!!! Rich said I can choose between posting in hell of keeping my mod status. I chose and resigned. Now you are an outright liar!!

If one of the super mods can please verify this I would appreciate it.

You are lying yet again!! Rich told you to choose. Did you not go to hell after that fact?

Do not be so stupid.
 
I have a better question Nic. Why did he feel that he needed to give you a choice? It might have everything to do with what you have been up to? I think so!! Enough said. Your lack of class has spoken volumes about yourself.
It is time for the old :toiletcla

So try again you dumb совокупляться....

Dont you be stupid. Read it in the mod forum. He asked me to choose i did and i posted a resignation. you are begining to sound like a broken record. I resigned you know it and so do I. If I was "fired" why would I have posted the resignation?? are you that stupid that you cant figure that out??
 
Philosophical Statesman my ass... :rofl:

Getting to be more like the village idiot. :hehe:
 
varnyard said:

He had to give me a choice because what I was doing in the hell forums was not what he expected from one of his mods. He disagreed with how I conducted myself there and told me to either stop the way i was conducting myself in hell in the manner I was or give up the Mod status. He has his standards and expectations that he wants his mods to live by and I didn't feel I was the right fit for that position. Rich has every right to decide what is expected of his mods and if they don't want to abide by them then they can step down or continue doing what the were doing and be "fired".
Now what your doing is trying to make it look like a whole different scenario that it wasn't for some reason. Maybe you want me to say something bad about rich or fauna but that will never happen. I like rich and I like fauna. It just didn't work out as me being a forum moderator.
But if I was to guess, you wont be in that position very long. There are only 25 posts in your forums in a month and the numbers have gone down since you have been a mod there not up. Rich expects a forum mod to actively participate in their forums and you don't, you are in your forums sporadically at best. So when you get shown the door will you resign with the decency that I did. Or will you bad mouth rich and fauna because it didn't work out for you?

Thats easy!! Rich told you last night, he gave you a choice.

You posted in hell this morning at 07-09-2006, 07:45 AM .

Rich gave you the chance to choose at : 07-08-2006, 09:44 PM

At 07-09-2006, 07:45 AM You were posting in hell, Right?

I rest my case.

Look who's talking. The king of the war room of a site thats on a down hill spiral because its members continuously bad mouth fauna and thats the reason they are sinking. Trr people cant figure out fauna will be around a long time after TRR goes under. which is only proved by you being here. Your site has maybe 20 posts a day and half of them are bad mouthing fauna. You and you members should be proud of themselves!!!

my mod status was removed at 2:20 today, 5 hours after I resigned.
 
I find it so interesting how Nick made a comment about giving enough rope. Seems he's standing on the gallows with a noose around his neck now and is too stupid to even realize it.

Nick, you aren't fooling anyone. You have a choice. Give it up and let this thread sink to the bottom where it belongs, or keep feeding the piranhas and it will stay at the top. A week or two from now the result will be the same. It will die down and you will be embarrassed and remorseful. The only thing in doubt is how embarrassed you'll be.
 
Nic, you are pissed at the TRR members because they saw thru your BS and called you on it which is EXACTLY what the fauna members are now doing.

Ironic isn't it.
 
JimO, I cant now. I have a MOD outright lieing about whether or not I resigned.

I have a admin (brian Foster) from a dieing site (trr) trying to push my buttons only to try aand get me to say bad stuff about fauna and make his sorry site look better.He trying to make a mockery of the BOI like his site.

Yeah......... Right....... :rolleyes:

You see what you want to see. And I noticed you jumped on the bash fauna bandwagon yourself while you were there. :raspberry

And since Rich and myself came to terms I haven't said one negative thing about this site. Some members sure. ;) But then again so did you. :slamit:

Worst thing I may have said was "It is Rich's site and he can do with it what he wants." Nothing to hide there as I said something to the effect of "Rich has the only hand.. The upper one" right here a couple of weeks ago when he was coming down hard on those who don't support the site and are only around to question every frickin' thing the man does or says.

So you grouping TRR into all being "fauna bashers" you grouped yourself right up in there too Einstein. :rofl:

Can someone say BINGO??? We have a winner!!

He has his standards and expectations that he wants his mods to live by and I didn't feel I was the right fit for that position. Rich has every right to decide what is expected of his mods and if they don't want to abide by them then they can step down or continue doing what the were doing and be "fired".

Really?? You got to be kidding right? It soulds like you are agreeing with me!! :rolleyes:

Now what your doing is trying to make it look like a whole different scenario that it wasn't for some reason. Maybe you want me to say something bad about rich or fauna but that will never happen. I like rich and I like fauna. It just didn't work out as me being a forum moderator.

Why did it not work out Nic? You have no class!! You could not act like a mod should. You attack members of this site. You post stuff in hell that is sick at best, it is not funny.

But if I was to guess, you wont be in that position very long. There are only 25 posts in your forums in a month and the numbers have gone down since you have been a mod there not up.

Now you are not stating facts again. My forums are more active now then they have ever been.

Rich expects a forum mod to actively participate in their forums and you don't, you are in your forums sporadically at best. So when you get shown the door will you resign with the decency that I did. Or will you bad mouth rich and fauna because it didn't work out for you?

Well, we will let Rich decide that. It is not up to you. :)

Now back to the subject at hand. Nic has proven to be a liar. Thats where we were before he decided to side track.

Yep, right about the time Rich got the heads up about your post in hell.

cough coughbullshitcough cough

I don't suppose you have ANY facts to back that up, do ya nicky?

You SURE are trying awfully hard to make as many as possible look bad. Are you on your way out permanently nicky? This is seeming like a last gasp at attention, the bad 3 year old not being paid attention to kind, or a guy just ready to chuck it all and take a one way trip to puppylake.

Nevertheless, you've made quite an accusation above and I for one, as a member of TRR and occasional frequent poster, would like some proof.

I know you're lying, but I'd like to see what you do now.

Man, I'm glad I'm not associated with Fauna anymore.
What do they do to the people over there?
First Lucille, then Dand (yeah right he was ALWAYS that way), then Rich, then Bobby, now Nic. What the hell is going on???.



SPJ said:
Nic, you're Richisms are getting old. Stop changing from good guy/bad guy with each post.
This is exactly how Rich acts. Goes one way, doesn't work, then goes another way and blames everyone else for his mood/attitude changes.
