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

    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.

Bad Guy BOB CLARK A MAN WHO LIKES TO LIE PLAY GAMES AN WASTE TIME

Why beat a dead horse and keep this thread at the top of the BOI? The OP has been banned, and is unlikely to be returning. I think it would be appropriate to let this die & sink to the depths.

You should have at least read the one before yours, the last one.
 
I'm suprised nobody has mentioned his other alias here, GRAND MAXIMUS, with the name kazushi from yet another state! Chicago Illinois. I work with several species of crocodilians everyday, including some very large (14ft plus), this is not for the inexperienced herp keeper. What does he plan to do with these animals as adults? Keep them in 300 gallon tubs and 200 gallon aquariums? I think not! All 3 states mentioned have extremely cold winters, so outdoor ponds are out of the question. My apologies to the mods of this forum for bumping what needs to be a dead thread, however I had to speak my 2 cents and mention the other alias.

I agreed that this was a stinky dead horse until Travis revealed Justin Wood's second account. Gotta be the same guy since Justin mentioned Nature Coast Exotics in this thread as one of his previous vendors. Excellent catch, Travis! Thank you. Seller beware!

Yes, great catch. No doubt that it is him. He had a few more posts than what's showing that were sent to the trash.


Thanks for bringing that to our attention.
 
Seems Crocsandgators49 got a PM from a mod. Guess if he gets banned we can assume that Pythonbreeder99 is right about it being Brocthecroc trying to get around the mods. :NoNo: It sounds like him and the lack of originality in the name and his convenient registration date seem to point to it being the same person.Pretty much will have burned his bridges and his credibility I imagine. I actual find him pitiable if he is an adult considering the mental and maturity limitations he's shown here.
 
Please keep in mind that this thread is about Bob Clark. With the OP banned, continuing to post about him does nothing but keep an unfortunate negative thread about Mr Clark at the top of the BOI.

(There are better ways to alert the moderation team of somebody possibly bypassing a ban - the report post function, for example)
