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

    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 need to know if anybody has delt with this gentleman as we are suppose to make a trade tommorow and I have never dealt with him any info will be greatly appreiciated
 
 
If I were you, I'd back out of the trade ASAP...Bobby is a lowlife scam artist who will stab you in the back quicker than you can say "BOI"......hes a bad guy, no doubt about it.
 
Stay far far away, don't show, tell bobby you're mother is sick or your dog is rabid or something. Send an email out to Urban Jungles if you really wanna hear all the Bobby Pruett horror stories.
 
I sent Mr. Pruett an emerald tree boa and a trinidad tree boa and never received payment from him. After several attempts to get the payment he owed me, I gave up and considered it a lesson well learned. He and a few of his buddies played some games to try and make it look like it was my fault that I wasn't getting paid, but everyone saw right through it. Sending him animals up front without payment from him first is a mistake I will never make again. BE CAREFUL!
 
Hey Jeanne,

I just read some of that thread and it seems right in line with the attitude and games I got from him too.........
 
Hmmmmm....

I think this one of the reasons Bobby never paid.

Along with not getting the legal importation paperwork for the possibly smuggled trinny.

Here is a picture of the Emerald in question.

Things seem a little different when you see the truth.

:D
 
If you need reason to dismiss the statements of Mr. Bowles, I suggest doing a search under his name.
 
Yes Richard I suggest the same. Do a search on him and see that birds of a feather..... The unsolicited and rude post should show you exactly what kind of people you might be dealing with someday. Watch out for the dishonest in this business!
 
The BOI is a great thing!

Hey Richard,

I think you did the right thing in posting on the BOI! This is a great place to find out about people, good and bad. I know it has helped many in making decisions about who or who not to deal with and I hope your future purchases all go smoothly!

;)
 
I wouldn't piss on Bobbie Pruett if he was on fire let alone buy or trade with him.

And Tim who is holding the frozen snake in the pic? I wonder because of the prison tats on the wrist.

Coming from you, that's funny. Honesty and integrity aren't exactly your strong points, Tim. Neither are they Bobby's.

timmy, when did YOU learn what the word TRUTH meant? We all know you YOU know how to lie, you and bobby specialize in it, but that is NOT truth.

Why don't YOU tell the TRUTH about that paramyxo INFECTED snake you made Matt pay up front for BEFORE you shipped it, you remember the one, it had the MASSIVE subqutanious fluid injections as well as the virus. The one you tried to blame the shipper for causing its death. Remember that?

You timmy as well as you bobby, would not know the truth if it were a big black dog that bit your sorry selves right on the ass. You'd both be looking at the other wanting to know why you'd been pinched.

It's almost a shame you guys don't work with hots instead of boas. Can you guess why I might feel that way?

From what I know, Bobby actually does have some hots....and has been bitten several times....I guess after a couple of heart attacks, the jacka$$ still hasn't learned lol.
 
I love it. Where else other then the point system forum can you have people wish death/bodily harm on you and still be the bad guy.

Go read the threads on me
Snow Boa- more then taken care of
Deal with USA Geeks- guy posted lies, but still got a FULL refund
Deal with Ken F- my snakes are dead
Cornsnake deal- snakes been waiting on Phil since he asked for it back

I've read hundreds of *bad-guy* post on this forum and it seems to me the bad guys don't make good on there deals. Know if you want to label me an a$$hole that's fine, but all the rest of the BS is a little overboard.
btw Richard I got your email and figure I might as well reply here. Its ok if you don't want to trade with me, but you really don't have to email BS lies. That's what allot do here is post BS lies.

I might be an a$$hole, but I will always post and say what I want, not what others want to hear.

To my fan club, keep up the good work...
 
Simple examination of numerous threads would show Tim and Bobby for what they are. whats the big point of continueing to prove it on every thread they post too.

My advice is for people to simply use the search feature and then put on depends and get popcorn, then they can enjoy a good book and piss themselves silly while reading about these two.
 
Bobby and his merry band of tools are so delusional its hilarious. Bobby, you are an out-right lying jerkoff.....

Deal with Ken F- my snakes are dead

Yeah, they're dead because you're a moron who shipped them in the middle of summer to Las Vegas with NO COOL PACKS!!! What idiot does that?

Cornsnake deal- snakes been waiting on Phil since he asked for it back
Click to expand...

Another lie....I've been to EVERY single KY shince you ripped Philip off, and I've talked to Jason Feagans......the Corn has NOT been there every time, in fact Jason never brought it once!! Its pretty sad that Jason is havig to replace the snake you stole in the first place.

The proofs in the pudding, Bobby......you are a bad guy based on your actions. Theres no way around it, and there is no conspiracy theory.....you did this to yourself so LIVE WITH IT.
