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

    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.

Info Spectrum reptiles Barry lambert

anyone who reads this ridiculousness won't so business with either. as far as the court case goes it doesn't matter. no conviction. there are much bigger names in reptiles that have been actually convicted of smuggling endangered species to worry about someone who was only indicted is silly.

What exactly are you contributing?? And it's hardly only 1 indictment. And it certainly doesn't look dropped or dismissed. And I am not really concerned about people doing or not doing business with me. I do this for a living and have for many years. My customer base is broad ranging internationally. I rarely even advertise. Anyway thanks again for your input. I respect
Your opinion.

The charges may have been dropped or he entered into a plea agreement to avoid jail time.

then find a record of it or just drop it. if you want to worry about smugglers worry about Crutchfield peddling tons of reptiles after being convicted of smuggling endangered species and charged twice after that.

There is a record from the 2007 conviction and there is proof of the 2014 indictment. If I have to prove the validity of my legal documented animals than Barry should also prove his innocence . What's good for the goose....

And what does Tom crutchfield have to do with this???
 
Oh and your bigger fish??? They never did anything to me. Also I guess you don't understand the gravity of a situation like someone accusing you publicly of having illegal naultinus. It's not something I will take lightly. And since Barry is directly linked and involved in the mike matson issues I would say he's big enough. Both of these guys are guilty of harassment and cyber bullying one of them to a 15 year old girl. So making this medium sized bad fish float to the surface so everyone can get a whiff of the stench once you open him up. Well Think frying him is sufficient
 
Accusing me of having illegal Naultinus is much more damaging than you could ever imagine( multiple felonies) and if you can't graps that concept I hope you aren't ever accused in public of committing such an offense. Especially when done so by someone( Barry lambert) with two indictments under their belt for smuggling animals.

It's not butthurt it's a defense of my very good reputation against a serious accusation.

All you are doing is posting passive aggressive nonsense.
 
so someone uncredited accuses you of something on the Internet tag they have no proof of and you have the documents you need to prove they are legal, why are you worried, that would be like me accusing you of any crime, no one including the government cares unless they are shown proof an illegal act occurred, all you had to do was say prove they are illegal here's my proof they are legal. does and handled like an adult. instead you sunk to his level bringing up stiff he obviously doesn't care about, and continue to act like. if you can't deal with people being twats like that get off the internet because it won't end.

Tell me about it. You won't stop posting.

And I guess if I stand in front of your house with a sign that says you are a rapist, drug dealer, child molestorer so thousands of people can see it... Well that's im with you and you'll just brush it off because I have no proof and you don't care about some twat telling the public such inflamatory lies about you...
 
no, I would sue you for slander and win that's handling that situation like a grown up. when you keep animals that are tightly controlled like that you should expect people to ask for documents.

Well suing for slander/libel isn't that easy. Especially in a situation like this. In fact it's impossible.And it would be libel if I wrote it in a sign.

If you knew what you were talking about you would know it's virtually impossible.
I won't be responding to you anymore. You are looking to pick a fight. Don't buy from me im ok with that.
 
it is when the action is obvious and done in a way to greatly harm reputation. but either way your still acting like a child

I spoke with a lawyer not too long ago about slander/libel on this site and Facebook, I was told that 98% of lawyers wouldn't touch the case and if someone was willing to take the case it would be very expensive. It's really not as easy as I believe you think it is.
