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

    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.

Hello, I'm selling my "Thunder Dragons" DVD from National Geographic. The actual disc itself is good and has no scratches and the box is in good condition too. The video is about an hour long and is very interesting. This is what the back of the box says:

"EXPLORER looks at the lives of Sri Lanka's water monitors following them from hatching to maturity. Witness transformation as the young lizards go from the hunted to the hunter, tripling their size in the first year. Mature monitor lizards can reach lengths of up to 8 feet, making some of them the largest reptiles on earth.
Throwbacks to the dinosaur age, monitor lizards play a crucial role in the food chain of Sri Lanka's lagoons and forests, if they make it through the first year. A mother's role ends with the laying of eggs and hatchlings are left to fend for themselves, find food and keep to the relative safety of the trees. While modern law protects the monitor lizard from being human prey, home is full of threats - sea eagles, acid spraying ants, snakes and cannibalistic adult monitor lizards."

If you would like to buy this dvd, make sure that your dvd player plays dvd's from any region, as I got this dvd from the U.K. This movie is very hard to find and I don't want to get rid of it (I could watch it over and over) but I need money. I'm selling it for $30 FIRM, shipping included. I accept paypal, or money orders/checks but I will only ship after the payment clears. I will only ship to the U.S. Contact me at [email protected], pm me, or call me at 951-534-7489. Please do not reply to this thread. Thank you for looking!
