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

    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!!

yes i was texting back and forth but wanted it to be clear what is being said
 
Okay people i had no idea my info was even wrong until barbie texted me. I tried editing it since my male is a trans only but for some reason fauna just wont let me. I am tryong to find a way its as if im resrricted or something. I hardly log on this also so thats the main reason why i didnt resond to this fasts. Im not even a "bad guy" im actually a real honest person.
 
I agree he has responded and is telling everyone his problem. Is thier a restriction to him changing his posts?
 
I want to say it took him some time to respond but he is making an honest effort to change it now
 
Good god.. if i complained about ever mislabeled leopard gecko i could start 150 BOI threads..

i dont think this was worth of a BOI post.
 
Response to text quote "i dont have access to edit my posts on fauna so theres no good reson for you to be all up on my business"

That statement is simply not true...while he may not be able to edit posts in discussion areas, people can edit their own ads here (regardless of membership level). Even if he couldn't edit his ad, the common sense thing to do - once accepting that he had misrepresented the animals - would be to remove the ad, and post a new one.

And just for refrence all of the ads have been deleted. He said he will not be posting that information again.
 
And barbie knows it was a pure accident. She knows i wasnt purposely posting false info. And she gladly helped me learn that by simple going to user cp i can delete from there which i never knew just to sum up the facts.
 
I will back him on this. It took him a while to responed. I thought he was dodging me, but he really came threw and made everything right and i feel confident he will not post information like that again:)
 
spiderman posting in craigslist also

He post on craigslist all the time in the new york area i always give him crap.I had to tell him that his stuff was no trans and they are het and his prices are out of control.The other day he posted a nice color citrus/peach and 2 babies possible het he was talking about they are great breeder quality im like they are 5 weeks old at most,But nothing beats when he was trying to sell his German giant that was super rare it was 22 inches and only 5 months old i was dying.Below is his craigslist post if you want a nice laugh http://newyork.craigslist.org/que/pet/2867328604.html

to spiderman

Sorry spiderman i don't mean to sound dickish but every month you post some out of control thing on craigslist and i go WTF and then i see your number and i go oh it's spiderman. I know you are trying to make a buck i don't blame you but you have to learn more about these things if you insist on selling them and not acting all cocky about how you have 10 or more people interested when a month later they are up for 100 dollar less.
 
No i go on craigslist sometimes cause if i find a nice dragon for 100-200 bucks ill pick it up,But with his adds it makes it sound amazing then you see the price and go "wow this thing sounds amazing,Then you get to the picture and its completely something else or not anything special.Honestly the dragon he has up is a nice dragon but i wouldn't give him anything over 200 for it,he can't provide proof or certify it except "the guy from bloodbanks said he was trans".But at those prices i would never consider it
 
Well this is a reocurring thing with him on craigslsit i did tell him in a email a few days ago that his babies were not translucent and he changed them to possible trans whatever that means guess he means het.I couldn't tell you if he knew or not.
