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

    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.

Bad Guy Spidermanbeardeds not hypos!!

He knew what he had just a trans not a hypo trans Steven from bloodbanks told him exactly what he had. He wanted to trade with Barbie for a dunner or other various dragons and told her it was a hypo trans cause it had clear-ish nails when he already knew it was not hypo.She then found out it was not a hypo and falsified what it was,So how is he not a bad guy he knew exactly what he was doing and got caught .He doe's this constantly on craiglist and i always call him out on it and cause he can't get bad feedback he just keeps it as is so how is he not a bad guy.
 
As a side note, I'm slightly irritated that he mentions he is "practically on hold" but would sell him out from under that buyer for more money. Business is business but I'm not very impressed I suppose. "Posted by neon."

Neon i do agree i could have inquired about it:) I just have to say i was very close on this trade, I alsmost did it. I was very excited i was promised an adult hypotranz male and 3 baby hypo tranz. But by doing lots of research found out it was not a hypo trans and that the babys wher not tranz at all. Spiderman agreed in a post that the dragons wher not as he had posted them and that him and i came to that conclusion together, he then stated that he was unable to get on his account to change it. hhmoore posted that was absolutly not true as we all know. This was also proven not true becaue he removed the ppost about the babys on the 18th but not the post about the adults. I still appeased him by taking him through the motions and teaching hin how to take it off. At that point if you look at his personal profile you can see he has made several posts and was able to take them off just fine. I just wanted proof he knows how to do thies things so he cant say he doesnt. The paper work was found to be untrue by talking to steven at bloodbank. And his show of unproffesionalizm and dirty dealing have been obvious from the start.

I was just trying to hit on the fact that you wher Irratated and not highly impressed by his words on his post to sell it under someone:( wich i agree with completly it was one of my resons to not do the trade. (he tried to trade it from under someone else to me)
I felt it was right to tell people of his miss deeds and purposfull false post before someone made the mistake i almost made. I know i would want to know if someone was going to sell or trade me something that was not what was said to be. With that i feel confident this guy purposfully tried to scam me and other people on this site by trying to sell a dragon by puffing it up to be something it wasnt. When steven miller does it and tried to do it to me it makes him a babd guy and its no less when this guy does it either.

I wanted to post this to show that he has made 67 posts. The day i posted this bad guy thried he only had one post up that was of the male saying it was a hypo tranz. Throughout this whole post he said he DID NOT know how to take off or edit his posts. Then how did he take off the other 66? He knew all along!!

Ah, okay. Makes significantly more sense now lol.
 
I am not taking is side with issue especilly since he willing to sale dragons out from another buyer that is screwed but this is a perfect example of breeding for profit that i have ever seen so am not going to boygot him because he didn't know what his dragon were. i will not do buisness with him due to fact that hes willing to sell a dragon out from under someone. its just sad and pathetic and if that is the way he does buisness then he should be boygotted by eveyone until he sells animals up front and not underhanded:angry:
 
I would sure not buy anything from him. It's awful that someone would sell an animal out from under someone else. And there's a deal made already and everything.

When you delete a classified, it reduces your post count. So if he deleted any before that one you would not know, as it would not be included in his post count.
