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

    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.

no he does'nt ive asked several times to see these pictures of the cage (with 8 big cracks in it) and he has yet to provide them.
i've proved him wrong about being banned from any shows like he stated.
ive proved him wrong at the show i attended with my text messages/voice mails i showed/ played for vendors that i know and they HAVE read this thread
i've even took ball python morphs to the show to prove to people i have them and there not FAKE like chris and nick have claimed (scents neither one have been in the snake house or have even seen my snakes or cages).
 
Chris since none of this has to do with the original topic of you stealing pictures for your own personal scam why don't one of you create a thread specifically on the off topic discussion you are discussing now.

What I was referring to that you don't get is post hhmoore made here:

All the posturing & chest thumping is really getting old, guys. It's time for both of you to put up, or shut up. If you've got it, post it...otherwise spare us all the theatrics.

And as far as any proof goes, you haven't proved anything in the BOI except for hearsay.

Now both of you take your off topic discussion elsewhere.


Thank you.
 
He was only allowed at the show after he opoligized to Mr Cruse about the Volguar mess he text me. That was the only way he got in the show. He did'nt show any mess to anyone because he has none. Never once did this Dude Even come close to our table in witch we had the most tables at the show. Chris you really know nothing about what your talking about. We know alot more vendors than you and always will. I saw that bag you was carrying around and you never once took a snake out of that bag. See you made the mis-take of talking to vendors that we know better than you. There is not one vendor that likes you and if all the vendors were at the show this time I bet you would not even had showed up. Lmao Now I'm done since you are trying to make this one sided again. I have prooved my point on the messages You sent to me, as fauan wanted now lets see your proof. Good luck You won't ever stop me.
 
oh but i did show messges and i did have my snakes out showing them to vendors and jason didnt care what was said in the messages because it wasnt directed at him i asked if it offended him and if they wanted me to say sorry i would and they said no need to it wasnt directed towards them. he said he could care less about them and i was never banned to start with. this whole dealings along with PROOF is posted on another website with your guys names phone numbers all your email addresses and even pictures of your ads from kijiji and boy do they love looking at thos sick animals and dirty cages and it wil soon have pictures of the cage you got that your whinning about WITH OUT 8 CRACKED PAINS OF GLASS .that you claim you have pictures of .... i didnt come to your table out of respect for jason and the show cause you would of said some thing and it would of been on and plus i dont deal with import junk .
thats why you called my kids and wife trailor trash while i wasnt around? good thing jasons wife herd it and told you guys to clean up your act or pack up and leave
you havent proved anything post the pictures of the cage thats has 8 pains of glass broken in it thats what this is all about but you still dodge the question on posting the pictures
 
Now your a bigg lyeing piece of trash! No one ever called your wife anything and jason wife never came to us. So you need to stop, and ya your right it would have been on you can come to kc and talk anytime you want. But yet you won't because all you do is lie. Thats why you have like what 4 acct's on fauna and yes you were kicked out of the show. So get a life and Please your posting's mean nothing because everyone knows your bad name. Ours have yet to be proven bad. :) And we do alot more deals than you ever will. But I welcome you to come to kc and iron this out anytime come view the junk you gave me in the first place.
 
Oh my stars...are you two still at it??? Don't either of you realize how utterly idiotic you're making yourselves appear? Forget what one is saying about the other...you're each doing a fine job of revealing to the world how much class, intelligence, and integrity you have yourself. :rolleyes:
 
Judy why don't you mind your own business, I see your post more and more on other people forum to. What are you the big bad wanna be boss or something ? Give me a break. If you don't like it don't read it.

Gee...let's see. You're posting your argument in a public venue so that you can garner public opinion and/or support. How's that workin' out for ya? :ack2:
 
You sound about as smart as a box of rocks ! Lmao I could really careless what you have to say! You have nothing to do with this, and your right this is a public forum so if you don't like it don't read it. :)
 
Like I said...Chris B. doesn't have to say a thing. You're doing a fine job of revealing yourself to the world. Classy dude... :rolleyes:
 
If you two just want to argue about things with no documentation and no real relevance to Brandenburgh's business practices, why not take it to PM? You look silly.
