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

    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.

I am a 22 year old female who is looking for a night out.Are there any sweet fellows who would show me a good time? I am really shy and modest ( the pictures don't really convey that) I am a sweet girl looking for some one to talk to.

As a fellow single chickie in the NJ area... now I know where all the guys are heading hee hee. If you ever want to go "hunting" gimme a call!
 
They certainly aren't headed over here. I don't know where all the men are. The only ones I see have either no legs, or 4 or more.
 
come on you guys, I'm lonely. It's been a long time since I had anyone special. I don't care about age or appearance. I just want someone to hang out with.
 
Jessica, you've scared them all away.

Don't you know that us snake guys only like women that are prim and proper? You didn't get the memo? lol

You and Danni really should hook up and see what you guys can catch. My guess is you throw back more than you keep but that's just because I have such faith in my fellow males.

Try something with a bonnet or something all encompassing, like a puptent, and you'll have em banging your door down.

Nice snake by the way and DAMMMMMNNN nice fishnets. Would that I weren't not only a continent but a generation away.......
 
I know how she is feeling... I have no bites, how can I throw back ha ha. But aside from the fishnets, I saw her face, and she is seriously a freaking gorgeous girl!! I'll bet she has same problem I do, we're confident and comfortable with ourselves, and that scares away the fishies ha ha.

No scaring for me...that's how I like 'em, but already hooked. :)
 
what part of jersey are you from?my little brother is 24 and single.
 
You actually have to put down the snakes and leave home to find guys, they won't come knocking on the door unless your expecting a package or water delivery. :hehe:
 
You're telling me. Although, thank you Mr. Deer Park, where ever you are. I hate going to bars and I can never meet anyone at the book store. I was just giving it a shot. Besides, if I ever do meet guys, they run off after hearing what animals I keep at home.

"Oh, you own 16 rodents? You breed them?"

"Yeah, but they are just the food."

It never goes well.

LOL. Come to Virginia Beach sometimes. There are lots of nice and not so nice guys here, especially in summer.

Oh, and leave the serpents and rodents in someone else's care for the week(end). First you want to "hook" him, then let him know about your hobbies. :hot:
