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

    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.

... judy I was confident the M.O. hadnt been cashed yet because I called the post office and did exactly what I told him to do in that statement.

But you stated the following in your PM

At the end of this week I will check again myself because if it is cashed I know it will be cashed by you

If YOU weren't in possession of the envelope... then how do you know someone else didnt cash it? Seems a little cocky to me for someone that didn't have anything to do with this mess.


Dude got his money back, nobody got scammed, nobody got hurt, and I dont feel the need to say anything else about this as I dont think it has anything further to do with me.
Thank you for your time gals and pals

Nobody got scammed because this was brought to light before you could finish your scheme... and the part I put in blue makes me scratch my head. Anything further to do with you..... shouldnt you have said... it never had anything to do with you. Anything further to do with you... leads us to believe that since he got the money back... you think you should be cleared of all charges.

Ummmmm I dont think so

As I stated before I called the post office and they said there was no record of it being cashed and if it was sent to a vacant house and nobody picked it up it would be sent back to the return address. I have said this already. If the guy sent it and it was really sent to a vacant house and nobody picked it up, like usps said it would be sent back to the sender, which is issac right? Who else would cash it if the only 2 names on it were his and ashley ronneys? Wouldnt that be the only 2 people that could cash it? wouldnt that be reason to be confident on who would cash it?
Thanks
 
He still hasn't said Who he sold those two snakes to! I'm still curious how they got sold to two different people to end up in the hands of One person.. would be nice to confirm that you did actually sell them and weren't Jerry don't you think/? I would have given those names in a Heartbeat if I were under this type of scrutiny!

Just my .02
 
As stated before on my sale of my emperor pinstripe, I will not give out the name or info of my buyers on here but if a mod would like to pm me I will gladly give them contact info on them with no hesitation.
Thanks
 
to hell with screen shots

Ive tried this screen shot thing and I am not good at it.. MODS come check out my goods:rofl:

Like I said if they need my password = cool with me.. I TRUST them..

Post every single PM if need be! I have like 60..

Anyways -- no one ever denied what was wrote.:yesnod: Cause im an HONEST guy:D..

Anyways this doesnt need to be taken any further.... REMEMBER:deadhorse

I just wanted to be a MAN of MY WORD and post the pics of the MONEY order,ect that Michael wanted.. And again - i did what I said what I was gonna do Michael..:eek:
 
For what ever it's worth. My wife sells realestate PT and she has had mail delivered to empty houses and writes something similar on it and tosses it back in the box.

And how would it be returned. The postal service doesnt pick up from boxes unless the red flag is raised... and that's kind hard to do at a vacant house. What... is it gonna raise itself after 5 days :rolleyes:

IMO, not unless you KNEW Ashley Ronney and knew she wouldn't cash it. How did you know she wouldn't after all this elaborate scheme to get the money?:shrug01:

If you read up further than the part you bolded it says "if" it was really sent to a vacant house and nobody picked it up. You can twist what I say however you would like. But what I ment is that "if" it was sent to a vacant house and "if" nobody picked it up yes I KNEW the original sender would get the M.O. back (which is what usps said) and HE, seeing as his name was on it, would cash it.
Thanks

If it was sent a sig required they wouldnt deliver it im pretty sure. And from what I understand after so many attempts at delivery they send it back to the return address.

There is no "if" as to where it was sent. That was proven in your alter ego thread Jerry thread.

Once again... How would the post office know if no-one picked it up? They would drop it in the mail box and that would be the last they saw of it :shrug01:

Signature Required is another charge... and he didn't get charged for it

Which is quoted from his BOI thread.

And why would Jerry do that. He has nothing to loose since he dont exist. Your grasping at straws... just like with your theory of Signature Required and why the post office returned the envelope.

I agree. :iagree::iagree:

He obviously went to the house and had a hand in making sure it was returned. He could only do that if he KNEW Ashly wasn't going to cash the check. Otherwise, he risked federal charges for tampering with someone else's mailbox.

Too many coincidences for me to feel comfortable buying from him.

To the one's purchasing: Genefreak has already admitted to being a flipper, buying cheap and selling at a higher price. Those $50.00 Pastels you are so "proud" of, are probably just 10.00. I doubt very much that he bred them. I have yet to see pics of a quarantine area...so I KNOW that I won't be stupid enough to purchase from him.

Sorry, Gene..you started out on the wrong foot. Too many unanswered questions about previously sold animals, blanked out picture on a fake driver's license, and distance/locality between you and Jerry (and let's not forget your skills with manipulating IP addresses) has created Jerry, your doppelganger.:reddevil:
