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

    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.

Now you have crossed the line with that thinly veiled threat. You had better not let me see you coming because I WILL drop you on sight. That is not a threat, it's a promise. But, as you have already shown on this thread, you are big on words, and nothing else.

I have yet to read all this thread. I am at this post. And I am laughing at you. I really am. Dennis Ruin peoples businesses? Come on. Dennis is one of the most up front people I know. I have Gone to him with issues and he has helped. You are way off base.

Maybe you should take care of your customers and you will not have to worry about yourself ruining your own business. See your actions is what ruins it. Dennis is not. Dennis is just posting the facts that can be found right here. If you did nothing wrong then the thread he posted should help you right?

LMAO................. Really you have nerve saying Dennis is ruining your business

hahahaha man what are you getting at here. Your entertainment value is for Jerry Springer not the BOI. I gotta agree with Dennis and if you walk up your probably gonna get a third eye or be put on one leg.
With all the homosexual jokes and inuendo being made by you....I gotta wonder where did you get all this knowledge. I am thinking maybe some first hand experience :rofl:
 
DT is a old craby man who has no life but the BOI take that away from him and you got nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Dude stop it!!!!!

This thread is like a car crash.... you don't want to look but you just can't help yourself........ :rofl:

Terry, What do you think will do the most damage to you reputation.. DThomas puting a link to a thread under your ads or your ranting and raving in this thread? DThomas has every right to do what he has done and do to you opening up this box (this thread) I am sure that many others will be doing the same and it is their right to do so, that is exactly what the B.O.I. is for.

Do yourself and everyone else a favor turn off your computor and walk away no better yet run away. :rofl:

Now before you say that I am in the DThomas fan club let me save to the time I am not a big fan of his nor is he one of mine. :NoNo:
 
you are right!!!

Jeez Terry, you are not acting in a very mature manner right now. I suggest you just leave the keyboard alone for a month or two, and when you return your first post should be an apology to Mr. Thomas.
