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

    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"

"When Chuck does a pushup, he's not lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down. Don't mess with CHUCK. "

That's the funniest thing I have read here in a LONG time.
 
The only way to get rid of NICK

is to innundate Kingsnake with complaints. Cut off his access to advertising and you really have a put a dent into his business.

IMO, you are out of line Sir.

That was totally unnecessarily harsh and just wrong. Just as you have the right to voice your concerns/opinions and give advice/pov...so does anyone else.

There is nothing that states you get a free ride.... and you may not be here to stay.... just keep that in mind.
 
Ive already gotten the papers for the small claims court and for me right now it is not about the threats but rather about how hard I worked at his shop and now I need to sue his ass for my money and most likely he will threaten me next and then i will worry about it.
 
Get Sum said:
I'm sorry, I forgot: You and your little wolf pack posse consider name calling to be ranked "high" on your maturity list. Please, Chuck...continue with the name calling, I'm sure you have a few more choice words for me. Like I said, I'm sure in time, our paths will finally cross:yesnod:

Let me be perfeectly clear on this... I will not tolerate threats here, whether they be explicit or implicit. Consider this the one and only freebie.
 
exuse me but my parents are involved. i didnt just go up to a lawyer. I have a ton more threats on my other cell phone that is now gone and metro pcs has kept the text comments that I have saved from him saying that he will kick my ass at shows, racist jokes and saying hes gonna come over and hurt me and a whole bunch of other s**t. I dont want to give to much away because I am still gathering up more evidence

Excuse me? "Most likely he will threaten me next"?
Wait. If he hasn't threatened you yet, why have you said he has?
If you are a minor, you should be letting the lawyer and your parents take care of it. Either you have a case or not, but I haven't seen much of anything to prove it here, and generally on the BOI it's gotta have some sort of proof to be believed.
IF you were owed wages, IF you saw animal abuse, IF you've been threatened.. all of it is "IF" unless you have proof. Even if you ARE a minor, it's your word against his, without proof, even if he is a general scum.
And Chuck technically according to the definition of "threat" you could now sue Get Sum for threatening your life, so I say go get him charged. After all saying "you're gonna be in trouble" is a threat against the OPs life, so that's a threat against yours.

You said you had an attorney and that you were already suing him.

I'm not taking up for Nick; yet I refuse to condemn him for THIS incident without more than what I have seen.
 
wolfy-hound perhaps you havent read any of my posts and anything when i showed the threats and told u that my parents got the papers. what do you expect me to do about the animal abuse (pull out a camera in the middle of it)! my goodness the lawyer seems to think that we have a great case here and you just want more proof upon proof upon proof, well I have a ton. and sorry to say that i am not sharing this to you guys right now because i am not comftorable yet sharing some of them for my own personal reasons. Im not threatening you or yelling at you "I respect my Elders" "I dont respect children like nick"

If you are not sharing your info, why are you here? Do you expect that because other people call him a bad guy that we, without more, will agree on your, or their, sayso?

ever since then he has been sending me dirty messages and not paying me..so now we are suing him and a lawyer said that he owes me $1800 and now we are still in the process of suing him as I write this to you.. For those of you

That's what I don't understand.. you have all this tons of information, and are sueing them, then you're getting a lawyer, then a lawyer talked to someone else..
It's bouncing all over, and I don't see what posting here is supposed to accomplish, other than the fact that we are just supposed to feel sorry for you and believe it all, on your say-so.
If you're going on a public forum to state facts, I'd just think you'd have facts to back it up with. Now you're "still gathering proof".
Best of luck in a court.

u guys, I have given u proof! thats what i can provide. and I only hope that u guys will ultimately believe me. so i will leave on this solid note "Thanks for all the support and taking and interest in my add and unfortunately I will not be posting until the case is closed. please feel free to send me private messages if you would like. I would be glad to answer any question you have. thanks and have a happy new year!!!!!!"
 
Are you kidding me?

First off, Nice car Ken, I had one of those back in High School when they first came out about 15 years ago. Are you a rent-a-cop or something of that nature? You speak your words with such authority. If and when I actually do threaten someone on this ridiculous site, you will be the first to know. Hoping to eventually cross paths with someone is not a threat by any means. Hey, Happy New Year. A new episode of cops is now on, Gotta go!

Doh, antagonizing a moderator. Thats gonna cost ya!

Arrivederci! (that's Italian for: So long, you've been BANNED)

Wish I could say it was nice knowing you...but it really wasn't!
 
Mr. Buchwald,
The only proof I have seen you provide here is you saying things happened and you saying that you are doing things. That is not proof that is a story you are telling.
Proof would be a scanned copy of paperwork, a scanned copy of something written by a lawyer with his signature, a scanned copy of a W4, a scanned copy of a time sheet showing that you were scheduled to work, a wav. file of verbal threats etc. Those things are proof, all you are providing here are your stories that cannot be verified.
If indeed Nick the dirt bag Nistico is guilty then take it to him in court and have done with it.
Then post a link to the news story so we can read it and know your stories were not just a young man seeking attention.

Mr. Weinrich,
You are well on your way to proving Mr. Kimmel correct. It is really bad form to attack the Moderators.
