=====================
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.

In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site.

Pastel, BEL, HGW, Lesser/butter, pastel lesser/butter
must hand it to Bo that he got the bel, butter, and pastel butter. However the other two are only partially correct. I really thought it would have taken a bit longer! I am not the greatest at getting some morphs by picture. I know the l might be easier with a better picture so if no-one gets it I will post seperate pictures. Here are the three that were guessed already.

Ok. I'll let the others figure out the last genes. I'd be your hatchling technician hehe. I bet it's exciting around there during hatching season 
hidden gene woma granite YB? and on the other I'd guess enchi pastel YB?
hidden gene granite yb is correct, but not the enchi pastel yb
how about pastel YB granite? she is smoking whatever she is. I didn't think enchi was the right answer because she doesn't have the head blushing and enchi pastel would have.
Pastel YB Fader?
They are all ridiculous. Good luck this year!
They are all ridiculous. Good luck this year!
Thanks Amanda.
Dustin was right pastel granite yb. I guess I need to try harder next time to make it more fun. Hopefully this season will make some incredable babies that will stump people more. I was going to throw in a fire yb het ghost but she kept striking at me and not sitting still.
lol they are really awesome Randy and I can't wait to see some inferno combos or whatever else you decided to do with the HGW projects and I hope you do stump us because that means you have something so insane that it can't be identified haha always good when you get something like that!
Ok there is some more eye candy. Stunning as usual. That pastel butter is sick, I think she wants to come live with me Randy. Keep us updated as the season progresses, and ignore (or DON'T) my request in the other thread for more eye candy. I came in too late but would have gotten all but the paste granite YB right the first time. But I cheated and knew what the HG woma boy really was. Good luck this season, it should be insane.
