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

    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.

Its so good to see justice here! All to often there is none regardless of how much evidence is available. It's so nice to see her finally get what she deserved. Hopefully she won't just find new ways to scam people now that she can't have a checking account.

Renee, I am so sorry for what you had to go through. Some people are just scum.
 
Wow Renee! Just... wow. You deserve a night out on the town after this ordeal, congratulations. A word of caution though, don't let your guard down for a second. She's not done with you. Someone that persistent in being that pathological... the lies, the stalking, the alter ego's to lie some more... people like that usually aren't done with you until they feel they have they've won with interest. Hopefully that will not be the case, but you should be prepared just in case. I have no doubt whatsoever she will violate parole and end up in jail, it's just a matter of keeping your eyes open until then.

Renee, congratulations!!! I'm sooo glad that you got some restitution and closure in the end. Hopefully Candace will learn from this- crime doesn't pay!
 
So great to see that, in the end, justice was done!
Renee, I applaud your having hung in there!:)
 
Again... Thank you to all that has searched, dug, and found the truth! Dennis, Bobby, Mrs. Tere...You have all been such a great support system! It really meant, and means a lot to know that people like you still exist. I can honestly say that I have almost given up on people until you guys came along. I could never be able to thank you all enough for the help and encouragement I have felt from you all. I know that I didn't start this off with the most maturity, however, I'm glad that there were some people to take my reaction, look past it, and search for the truth. I feel humbled by the support given to me by the people on this site. Thank you and I hope you all can only imagine how thankful I am for everything!
 
It's so nice to see someone actually convicted and wish it would happen more often. I'm really glad it worked out for you.
 
Unfortunately, I believe Candace has been here operating under the name
red.dragon.frog "Rhonda Alsa" "Rhonda Alsabrook"

Those that followed this thread may want to read this one as well.

At the very least she is related to Candace and selling and buying for her. More than likely and it is my opinion ,
that it is her operating under a relative's name.

So you have moved from 408 Rebecca Ln. Apt 5 Roanoke, AL. I guess. It's not bad detective work. In fact you just helped me confirm that you are in Florida....The rest is a little leg work!!

Yes, I lived there when I was about 11 years old. You can find that via Google search. :rolleyes:

Doing a address check that address is the same one that the new user name lived at too.
 
Just read this whole thread plus the connecting thread from the victim, Renee.
Just a terrible,terrible thing to happen. This Candice person appears to be educated and have good verbal and communication skills-plus she can tell a tall tale with the best of them-so I started digging around (I'm a mental health worker-i dig!)and I believe that the victim, Renee was lucky that things did not get worse . Candice has a history of theft and incarceration and it appears to be escalating. Her narcasistic behavior in continuing to boast and play the victim on this very public thread is very worrisome and points to several conclusions and the one that keeps rearing its ugly head is that she may be a psychopath-and the difination of a psychopath is below :

About 80-85% of incarcerated criminals have Antisocial Personality Disorder. However, only about 20% of these criminals would qualify for a diagnosis of being a psychopath. Most psychopaths meet the criteria for Antisocial Personality Disorder, but most individuals with Antisocial Personality Disorder are not psychopaths. Psychopaths account for 50 percent of all the most serious crimes committed, including half of all serial killers and repeat rapists.
A diagnosis of Antisocial Personality Disorder has limited utility for making differential predictions of institutional adjustment, response to treatment, and behavior following release from prison. In contrast, the diagnosis of being a psychopath has considerable predictive validity with respect to treatment outcome, institutional adjustment, recidivism and violence (Hare 1991). Dr. Robert D. Hare's "Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R)" is the psycho-diagnostic tool most commonly used to assess psychopaths. On this checklist, psychopaths have the majority of the following traits:

Selfish, callous and remorseless use of others:
Glibness/superficial charm (smooth-talking, engaging and slick)
Grandiose sense of self-worth (greatly inflated idea of one's abilities and self-esteem, arrogance and a sense of superiority)
Pathological lying
Conning/manipulative (uses deceit to cheat others for personal gain)
Lack of remorse or guilt (no feelings or concern for losses, pain and suffering of others)
Emotional poverty (limited range or depth of feelings)
Callous/lack of empathy (a lack of feelings toward others; cold, contemptuous and inconsiderate)
Failure to accept responsibility for own actions

I agree more and more with this post.
 
Seems like she believes she is smarter than everyone else. Sounds to me like her probation will turn into time to serve. It is hard to believe anyone would be that persistent in cheating others.
 
I think she leans more toward the "why let people think you're stupid when you can open your mouth and prove it" camp. Just my observation. It takes some real effort to fail at lying as badly as she has in these two threads.
