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

    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.

is usark over stepping its rights by proposing rules for states without asking us

Remember I did try to start an organization and then our good friend Andrew wyatt secretly set up PAARK with that idiot Larry kenton...and the lied to PA show owners trying to get me kicked out of the PA shows...the lied to PA legislators and PA breeders trying to get me black listed as the biggest threat to reptiles in PA.. all kinds of good stuff was done to me for TRYING TO FIGHT FOR MY RIGHTS ...I believe usark pulled some similar stunts with Jeff Barringer when he was working on his group/ council. ..I think usark went so far to say they never were even asked to be a part of it until Jeff posted publicly all the emails and so that were sent....and for the record there's a small group of people working on something new right now...but of course it has to be done quietly behind closed doors so no one will have to suffer the passive-aggressive wrath of the Bagnal drones

Looking at the "lie", I am not seeing much lying there.

https://usark.org/uncategorized/hr-511-python-ban/

In there own post they state that it only has a 41% chance of being passed.

Not exactly the edge of doom. You are saying that they are telling people that the bill in question has a 60% chance at failure is a somehow making them money?

In the whole website they only mentioned HR511 4 times. And then only when something happened in congress to the bill. Did not really spam the bill did they?

But they did collect money from the time of nov 21 2012 to jan 2 2013.

Money that then was turned around to fight the executive order that was born out of HR511.

I need your help here.

Are you saying that if HR511 passed any money collect in those 3 months would be ok?

But if HR511 popped back up as an executive order, the money collect is now tainted?

How does that make sense. They collected money to stop the ban of pythons. They stop one action dead cold, but they also knew that another action was hot on the heels.

Not able to prove HR511 is going to be turned into a executive order, but knowing it would be, they continued to get money to stop it.

Collecting money to fight a python ban, regardless if it comes as an executive order OR an House Resolution does not make a difference over effect.

Give me a min I'll point it out
 
Dear Rodney.
I look forward to hearing about your new organization. Good luck with the establishment of it. Just as with all other hobby's, trades, etc, there is room for more than a single organization supporting those concerned.

Remember that Andrew Wyatt has not been involved with USARK for a number of years. Maybe its time to bury your hatchet, or at least set it down and relax a little. USARK is a very different organization than it was when he was involved. I am not sure why you have personal issues with me as we have never met, but each to there own.

I am sure if you are persistent and have a strong support network, your new organization will thrive. If it aligns with my own beliefs I will happily support that also. I am not paid by USARK; no board member is. Therefore there is no incentive to deceive the public. I do this out of the goodness of my own heart. I could happily walk away at any time in order to focus all of my efforts on my family, research, and my own animals. But, I choose to remain as part of the board for as long as they will have me as I support the direction in which USARK is going.

Take care

Warren
 
So basically a usark board member came on here to comment saying they can't comment on anything about usarks history current state or future plans. ..
 
Also in that usark post about hr511 there was nothing explaining to the industry that wyatt set up the hearing. ..usark push that hr511 bill as a threat when is was blocking any further listing
 
Rodney,
You had requested that I comment. I did not want to appear rude, therefore I came here to state that I am not in the position to comment, and that the person to direct your question/concerns to is Phil Goss, USARK president. I hope that gives you a little direction to move in.

Regards,
Warren

If dr booth can't or won't answer any questions regarding usark (which is odd since he's on the board) then why did he come on here in the first place. ..I never requested him to nor did anyone else. ....so why are you or booth saying don't ask me ask phil. ...seriously how can I possibly be in the wrong here....if he doesn't want to or can't answer any questions then get off this thread. ....he comes in here acting like his usual arrogant self and belittles me for asking questions....IF HE DOESN'T WANT TO ANSWER QUESTIONS that's fine but don't keep posting on this thread that's based around questioning usark. Especially when you're a usark board member. .

I requested that someone from usark come on here and clear up the nonsense your supporter was saying....I didn't request that a usark board member come on here and say I can't answer any questions or say much of anything so go as phil
 
And I asked a serious question about usarks plans if Fws move for an amendment to have jurisdiction of interstate commerce. ..that's a relevant. ...that's a serious threat if the snakes aren't removed from the lacey act

Why has usarks board been so un involved in these matters. ..don't you all think it would help phil out if maybe some of the board members shouldered some of the minor responsibilities like keeping people informed...maybe if the board would have shown even a little interest in the organization they're on the board of wyatt wouldn't have been able to piss away around a million dollars of donation money
 
I am through with further comments on this thread. It appears futile. Enjoy you thread, as it is quickly becoming the Rodney Boalich ranting spot.

Good luck with your new organization. If you put in half the amount of time into it as you have with this thread, it will be a raging success. I look forward to seeing it flourish.

Regards,
Warren

You don't OWN this thread, fella, and anyone who wants to CAN respond to it as they see fit. No one needs YOUR permission to reply and in what manner they choose to do so.

It appears Mr. Booth has explained to you several times his position concerning responding publicly as an official voice representing USARK, and you just keep ignoring what he is saying to you. If your goal here is to merely harass, belittle and insult other members, then your current stay here is going to be short lived. You are familiar with being banned, I trust. As I have stated before, if you want to have a civil and professional conversation here, then you are welcome to do so. But quite honestly, you are failing to deliver on the scorecard for either a civil or a professional level.

So shape up or be shipped out, please.

I'm not saying I own the thread but I'm simply asking why is Warren on here if he can't answer any questions. ..he certainly isn't here for my company. ...As for me belittling people. .look through this whole thread all I got from people was belittled for having some unpopular opinion and making claims about usark and wyatt which about 98% of them turned out to be right. ...look at some of the above post where I was duck in water or something and I can't see right and a host of other insults...maybe no one called me an idiot but there are belittling insults nonetheless. ......so my question is may I insult other in the manner they insult me or have they been receiving infractions like I have? It's a reasonable question to ask...and if I may insult other they way they insult me do you have some kind set of rules or maybe a guide book I can follow as to avoid any further infractions? I just want to make sure I'm within the fauna guidelines for passive-aggressive attacks
