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

    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.
  • Responding to email notices you receive.
    **************************************************
    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Inquiry John Perkins AKA geckoman2 (inquiry)

Just a tip... if your trying to catch someone in a lie... dont post about how your gonna do it until its done. The Cats out of the bag on this one.
 
Your very right on this I should of waited to see if I could catch him. But I pretty much knew it was him. Now I am pretty certain. The first message I sent him he responded with in 10 mins. well it has been almost 8 hours now sense the second message I sent him. Of course as I figured he did not respond to it. I am pretty sure he will not respond to it. Plus unless he started a new account on this site he is banned right now. So he could not even read this to see if anyone was talking right.

So watch out for Jeff Trassatti on Kingsnakes. This is John Perkins or who ever he is. I am just amazed how many people out there try and get something for nothing. How they can screw people over with out a care in the world.

Once I am certain this is the same guy I will be posting a scammer thread for Jeff Trassatti. Although the only thing that I think is going to happen is he will not email me again. So if someone would like to email him on Kingsnakes and ask for pics of the 06 anery and 06 ghost and show them to me then I can be sure it is him.
 
Not so sure Banned means you can't view. You can't log in or post, but I've seen banned users viewing things under a banned user name.
 
Rick's right.... just because your banned does not mean you cant lurk and read.
 
Oh well I didnt know that you could still view the site. I did know that he would not email me back cause he knew he was caught. So as I thought JEFF is JOHN on kingsnakes. I have received no return email from him. I am no longer 80% sure it is him I am 99.9% sure it is. I sent him one more message just now telling him I know who he is.

I plan on making this my purpose to exspose him when ever I can find him.

Well, have fun. :thumbsup: I been known to do that with one or two people who tried screwing me. Can't blame you for that.

But beware, don't go saying anything you can't absolutely prove. No need to get sued for libel when you're just sharing someones character with others.
 
Very true dont want to be sued. Ah what will anyone get from me anyways lol.

So now all of Jeff's sale ads are gone. I have just sent a message to both Jeff and John. Should be interesting to see what I get back.

Dont waste your time with personal vendetta's on someone who didnt scam you. Not worth the energy IMO.

I am sure there are a few of us who could forward you the email that he sent to all of us... :rofl: I was even graced with not only one, but two of his excellent email poems :rofl:
 
LOL Dean... I was lucky enough not to receive one of those Lovely E-mails but I'm sure glad that someone is looking out for everyone here!! Not that I would chase him down but just keeping my eyes out!! He seems to be like Carpernter in a way... what name will he use next?

Just my .02

It will take time John but if you are honest and stay Persistantly on the right path Brother,alot of people can and will forgive ya Brother!
 
I will never forgive someone that let me put my name on the line for them. Then they run it through the dirt and screw me over. He made me look like a total moron to everyone on this site.

Yes I still think you are who I said you are. But I would not want to get sued for something so little as telling the truth. Innocent people are sued everyday and lose. I know I would be one of those people. So I have keep my mouth shut to you and you come back here trying to run my name through the dirt some more.

Go back to Kingsnakes or some other site with some other name and find someone else to screw with. Keep my name out of your fingers and mouth and I will do the same.

I will never forgive or forget.

John just formally apologized on a public fourm, I dont know about you but I respect that. He even kicked up his spelling a bit! It is your choice to say that but, dont make a scene about it. Remember EVERYONE anywhere in the world can see this!

That's an apology? :shrug01:

Cam't blame him for reacting myself.
 
Yeah that is no apology!!! That is only half of the nice things he had to say to me. I would be more then happy to post the emails on here. But know that some have a curse word every other word in them. Maybe after seeing these emails you can see the real John Perkins.

John, I am really happy that you apologized to Amanda. You should honestly be apologizing to Josh too, although I dont think you will see why. Maybe not many people went to bat for you when you were younger, and more impressionable.

Personally, what you sent the few of us in emails show me your true colors. I dont see how you can apologize for those. I dont personally care what you had sent me in the email itself, actually found some humor in it all. Are you claiming temporary insanity when you wrote and sent those emails? To me, thats just a character flaw.

As for your transactions in the reptile world, I truly wish you luck. Just remember that being patient with people and answering all their questions, along with asking everything up front will stop problems from becoming escalated. Dont just assume the very worst when you might not have all of the right answers.

Josh, let it go. Dont let this eat you up. You can live and learn and remember, dont put your name on the line for someone you havent had a business transaction with;):thumbsup:

Do not post the emails as they will surely get you banned. And yes, I do agree with you that the REAL John Perkins was in those emails. Just because he apologized doesnt mean you have to accept it. But, the one thing I would do if I were you is to just let it go until something bad surfaces to the top again. I hope this makes sense to you.
 
I agree with Dean!

I didn't know he was back on here.

Thank you for apologizing to me about that "bad guy" thread. I let it go a long time ago but I only wish your apology would go back and delete that "false" thread that will forever remain.

I would try to let it go Josh as it's not worth getting banned over. Everyone can read both Threads and knows how it went down..

Just gotta live and learn!

Amanda
 
OK let me try this again.JOSH HARDEE im sorry for letting you stick up for me and then backing out on the trade.Im not going to give any excuses it was wrong i like you.You were totally up front with me the whole time i know you will not forgive me and i totally understand that i just want you to know that i am truly sorry.
I know an apology does not make up for those really really rude emails i sent and i know all of you will not forgive me either but for what its worth im SORRY.
Amanda tanner i am totally SORRY for posting a bad guy thread theirs no excuses for that i was 100% in the wrong.
THRU this whole thing and the ban i did alot of thinking i really need to change my additude its got me into alot of trouble over the years and obviously it still is.
I want everyone to know im not doing this for any other reason than its the rite thing.
