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

    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 WARNING....Nick Nistico "Precision reptile labs"

Nick you know dam good and well that Josh worked in your store and you are screwing him over because he is 15. Josh is a good kid that isn't scared to work for his money and doesn't ask mommie for every penny he has. You might want to take notes so maybe one day you can grow up and be a man.
 
Josh never worked for me, he is a child, he stole rodents from my freezer and animals from my cages. I will not tolerate this type of disrespect. Dont believe me, ask vegas chad?

I don't know who vegas chad is, but if I were to contact him am I supposed to be asking him if Josh worked for you, or is he going to be able to tell me how you won't tolerate disrespect?
If he is just going to say Josh didn't work for you and stole from you then I can do without that. A police report showing that you claimed he stole from you would go a long way. Of course if Vegas Chad is the street name of the detective involved in the case maybe his information would be helpful. If you didn't hire the "child", then I can't blame you for taking action against him, and I doubt anyone else would. If everything he is claiming is false, you should call an attorney this week. Don't worry about how it might harm him, he doesn't seem to mind bringing the allegations here. Don't hold back! Remember, this kid stole from you, and is now trashing your name. Go get him! Don't just sit there and tolerate this disrespect!
 
its nick and he is lying, i took 13 rats a week and some crickets carefully knowing what i took and u promised to pay me and never did nick.
 
Josh, if your last reply is to me, I don't believe him.
If he truly will not tolerate disrespect, then he would have already filed some kind of charges against you for the theft he is claiming.
Either you didn't steal from him, or he isn't as tough on disrespect as he likes to think.
Maybe he has video of you taking rats, but those same videos (if they aren't edited) will show you working like a slave for 3 days a week.
 
You keep missing him on here. Seems like everytime you sign in to reply to him he has just signed out.

I will do so, me and jerry share this account, never intended to HIDE anything.

I'm curious now. How do you explain creating an account called "Jon and Amy" on FatFrogs, registered to your email address, and then going on under this alias to talk 'Nick' up and say how great he is (on a bad review thread)? Seems a bit slimy to me.

In all fairness, I don't like you. BUT, I think rather than doing stuff like pretending to be "Jerry Abel" or "John and Amy" and talk about how awesome you are... it would seriously be much more effective to say something like "Look, I screwed up alot in the past with Dark Forest and I made alot of poor decisions. I'm sorry. With my new venture of Precision Reptile Labs, I would like to wipe the slate clean and do things right. I hope my past can be forgiven and I can satify all of your reptile needs in the future."
Although I'm sure this WON'T happen, it's something called honesty. It usually works alot better than insulting everyone who even remotely doubts you, and claiming to have more experience than 98% of everyone on Earth.
 
"Holdthepickle" i tried to tell him to say sorry and admit that he was wrong, but he nevr did so ive made my decision. offer is still up nick if u want to admit ur wrong to me or everybody else here aswell.

Could not have said it better :iagree:
 
webslave banned him....now!!! hes filling this nice forum with lies and bs, ive offered him to just admit that he is wrong and even i said srry for threatening to sue him, but he never apologized on his side of the agreement, Nick Nistico is immature and a backstabber!! i asked him for 2 word "Im Sorry" and i will drop it, i gave my part of the bargain, now he needs to give his. But folks he will not!!
 
Heres What everyones been waiting for are some text messages that nick just texed me about this add.

1. he sent- "Just found your fauna posts!!! Are you Crazy!!! Watch what hapens now. ( ill take that as a threat, next he sent)

2."You are Fucking with the wrond dude"


3. Then he sent - "You are in big trouble"

4. Then - "No no no, you mentioned my mom to others and disrespected me on a forum!!! you made the biggest mistake of your life" (now what do u guys think of him)

(I didn't even mention his mothers name at all in this post, Is he nuts or delusional)

Clearly if he wasn't lien he wouldn't have sent me these messages, this is some proof for u guys with more to come unless he says im sorry and be the bigger man and has admitted that he is wrong.

You said you retained a lawyer and you were in the process of having him served.

Now you're saying that you were just threatening him with a lawsuit just to get him to admit he was wrong.

Which is it?

Its time to start telling the truth.
 
You should watch the cuss words Josh. I was in trouble for qouting them so I can speak from experience. Thanks Harald LOL.

You didn't say anything about his mom, wait a minute I thought he said she passed away when he was 15. I know better than that and what a sick bastard to say that about his mom.

Nick what you seem to forget is that I have lived, bred animals in south Florida, and know the people you think you do. It's a small world down here and when you feel you can threaten me, just call around and ask what you are getting yourself into. I don't care what kind of mma training you say you have.
 
i have a lawyer that is going to sue him, but im willing to drop it if he will just admit that he is wrong because i do not want to send him to prison since he is on probation as we speak so im just asking him to be the bigger man and step u and admit that i worked their and say srry, but if not i will continue in moving down the path of sueing him. ok critical bill
 
oh, by the way guys Nick doesnt own Precision Reptile Labs, somebody else does Jerry who is a real person, but Nick was using his account to post things to you guys.
