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

    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.

And I know I'm late on this, but I hate to say it, because you were a cop year ago doesn't make the right for YOU to harass and threaten him. Do you know how bad thats against the law? I don't give a rats ass if you used to be a cop or not.. That is so wrong in so many ways. I hope karma gets back at you.

"no threats just facts" --- Bull crap thats not a threat.

G is this what your goin on about?
 
Just throwing this in here so that all evidence is in place, but rather than deal with his own customer service issues, the subject of the thread felt it necessary to necro several threads about another member active in the thread, class act.:shrug01:
 
Gillian, I never said you were lying, but to threaten someone because you're mr. bad ex cop is against the law as well. BTW, I'm 100% female thanks though.

I love the big talk internet tough guys .... when yelling. So, Please don't threaten me kiddo... I just don't see how you can say that Chris did this on "phone" when you have no proof. . and if you did, then show it.... Otherwise, if you have to cuss at me like a little kid, and throw a temper tantrum, noone will believe you either.

good day sir.

???? It's a button. Right next to the one that says preview post, which is right next to the one that says submit reply.

Besides, where were you a cop? You'd think even a backwoods country type cop could spell owe. Spell check could save some embarrassing moments sometimes.
 
spell check isnt working and its called dislexia ......... no call for being ignorant now!!!!!!!but mud slinging feels good for the imature
 
well this is it for me , i wrote here tryin to find how to get my money the easy way . but this sight turns out to be a butt paddlin sight , who can hit the harder , and i'm not goin for it so feel free to wack at someone who cares to play

No it ain't. It's called Dyslexia. :thumbsup: (but I didn't need spell check for that one) I think you were searching for something else too. Ignorant wouldn't be the correct word. I'm fairly knowledgeable.

Now, I was being nice in my first post, and politely pointed out that the feature is working. Try not to be so thin skinned.............Or we can continue. :shrug01:

Unfortunately there is no easy way to get your money back. Sure it has worked many times before on the BOI, but most cases it was far from easy.
