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

    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.

I'm not sure where all the animals are. I'm hoping they're in safe, loving homes by now. I know she sold my Uromastyx here, and the Leopard she was calling Ricco or Chico, so, I guess she decided to keep that one. The Blue Tongues I haven't been able to track down and probably won't. Same for the legless. The Fat tail is the one that she was trying to auction off with the start bid of $5.00. Right now, as I said, I just hope they're all in loving homes. This whole thing honestly makes me sick.
 
Am I the only one who would have paid to see the expressions on Judge Vann's face as Candace frantically told the "Kira" story...:rofl:

I wouldn't count on it.

We don't need you to provide anything from court. It is all viewable. We would rather get the truth.

OH SNAP!!!!

"In and Out" ????? Yes, you might be going "in" Candace but it might be a while on the "out" part.:rofl::rofl::rofl:

And I am proud to give you Fauna's top award on the BOI Candace, wear it with pride Candace= :toiletcla

In and out is not criminal... Look up the word "in" and the word "out" if you need them defined. I believe even a child can understand what in and out means Renee.

Oh and by the way Candace, last time I checked a CONVICTED FELON is a CRIMINAL, Please do, look it up...:rofl:
 
WOO HOO!! I guess the only paper work that Candace will be able to produce is a rap sheet saying "CONVICTED". I am surprised with the Judge shelving the jail time contingent to restitution with her past history of not complying to court orders. I guess there was no "Web Court Forum" available for Candace to string along the Judge and Prosecutor. I am sure they were just the wiser as was everyone on the BOI. Candace sure didn't put up a fight like she did on the BOI.
Great job to everyone involved...Deb for starting the ball rolling by uncovering Candace's past and confronting her on the current Bay/Santa Rosa County cases/warrants. Dennis for digging in deep, producing info/documents, and throwing her under the bus. Bobby backing Renee was absolutely awesome and everyone else that contributed. Most of all... Renee standing firmly with two feet on the ground and making this lying, thieving person accountable for her actions.

So....now I will have to return to daytime TV for my fill of daily drama!! (LOL..Just kidding)
 
Candace, where are you, you said you were going to come back and tell us all about your "In and Out"??
 
Somehow I don't think she'll be back here for a while. I doubt they give inmates wifi in jail. Everyone that did all the detective work here- you guys are truly awesome. It's stuff like this that makes me proud to be a member of the herping community!

No one will ever know how greatful I am for Dennis, Bobby, and Tere for the researching, support, and backing they (and everyone else) have given me. Words just can't express my true gratitude! It's been a long drawn out ordeal that, really, should've never been. It's just a shame that it went as far as it did. All I can do is type on here and tell all involved "Thank you!"
 
And... there's yet Another continuance. Funny how the guilty can have the courts work for them. Sad, but that's how the proverbial cookie crumbles. I guess Candace will have her Attorney keep on the continuances until I break. Little do they know, that even if "I" break, my husband will be home soon to continue this fight. (I just wanted to let everyone know what's happening this far). Thanks again for the support, even if it did take a while for you all to "see the light".
 
Thanks, I have been following it on the court website. When I looked yesterday it stated mini docket starts today. So it was put off again? It was originally posted to start on the eighth, I think.
 
I got a call from the States Attorney's Office today that the plea date was delayed until the 1st of December. I did notice that she's been on this site since this whole mess, and I can only hope that anyone she's dealing with will read either one of the threads about her. I really don't want to see anyone get used by her like she used me. I have to say that this really sucks that my husband is constantly asking me about this from overseas, and all I can say to him is that it's being pushed back... again...
 
I have to say that it really stinks to see a picture of my Gecko on her site, but I guess that's why she put it there. Candace is a thief, and a fraud. I just hope the same thing I've hoped throughout this whole mess.... that they all have healthy, happy homes. All because someone thought they could make someone cower away from the reality of it all. Sad... very sad!
