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

    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 Chris Brandenburgh - HEARTLAND HERPS

And now I am SO glad I didnt buy anything from him! No wonder everyone flags every time he posts on KC CL now
 
Chris Leatherman - my patience for your antics has worn thin.
Chris Brandenburg - this is not a cue for you to start up again.

You've made a circus of this thread for long enough. I told you both a while back that if you have evidence to post, to do so - and neither of you did. Unless somebody has something valid to post about Chris Brandenburgh, stop beating this horse and let it die already.
 
well seeing how leatherman can't post the pix i have demanded ill post the pix of how the cage was when we dug it out of storage and started to take it apart and it was loaded and he received it in this condition i will also post proof of him actually DID bring my kids in to this mess i have my story and proof pictures and emails on another site rite now i will start another new thread here to post my proof as well seeing how leatheman has yet to put up or shut up 13.jpg14.jpg]180601[/ATTACH]]

17.jpg18.jpg20.jpg2nd skink we never got .jpg
all posted pictures he got via email and the last pic is the skink we never got that he screwed us out of only reason he brought my kids into the mess is because the skinks were for them as a gift.
the only crack in the cage was a small 3 to 4 inch crack at bottom left corner (my fault for not noticing it sooner didnt notice it till we were taking it apart) i asked him if he wanted to look at others i had he could pick from and chris leatherman declined the offer
THIS CAGE DID NOT!!!! HAVE 8 BIG HUGE CRACKS IN IT AS HE HAS TOLD EVERYONE... IN THE BEGINNING of his un happyness (because they loaded it wrong on a trailor) with it I OFFERED REPLACEMENT GLASS AND HE ALSO DECLINED TO TAKE IT/give me measurements so i could have it cut and a address to deliver it to
only reason i offered to replace the glass is i was doing what ever had to be done to get my kids skinks keep in mind i waited 3 months before i posted any bad remarks about them
leatherman has also changed his email address to [email protected] this is the name they use at reptile shows but name on emails is linda but im sure it will be changed after i post here and the other sites
and thanks to hhmoore for the tips on posting pics now i know how too thanks alot again
and to the cowards sending me threats on the karma thing way to go!!! you are no better then leatherman with all his empty threats
and to leatherman i call your bluff and raise you pictures/proof of the cracked glass hope to see you in the new thread regaurding this deal
 
I also have leathermans email as [email protected] from some emails I got from him. I had inquired about crested geckos cause I had told him I would email or get a hold of him in Sept or Oct. so when it got close I did and got this back Shelby Coleen

To [email protected]
Uh if this is the chris guy I texted a while back I told him I would probably be able to around sept or oct. But that is fine thank you.

and i also find it odd that when i stated jmartin was natalie beacom the same nite i got a nasty text message from natalie beacom so she has been on this site and has followed this thread :bolt01: under one of her dozen known email names and has given leatherman pictures of my hatchlings from my myspace page to post on craigslist
the following is what was posted on craigslist after they emailed me about my ad i told them no sale and got a few other nasty emails and 2 post on craigslist about me rite after this and here is one to prove they have in fact brought my kids in to this deal ......:shootfoot........

He's just trying to make money to by food. If you dont buy his junk than he might have to eat his kids. It looks like he ate 4 already, so please help him try to sell some almost dead snakes or dead ones. Which ever one you would like. But you have to pick them up cause he cant drive. Or you can trade for turtles or skinks so he can make soup.

it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests


PostingID: 1960088744
