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

    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.

So there is a lot of strange information going around about Mat Jobe AKA Caddyon22s (Mat Jobe) and I would like to compile it here so maybe we can clear his name if he really is who he says he is. There is a lot of speculation that he is Steve Miller, a known scammer. Who had an alias named "Dan Jobes"

So...any and all info anyone has would be nice.

So far I do believe he is at least liar...he has shown up in chat multiple times talking about his "Caddy" and today he posted this link

http://www5.snapfish.com/snapfish/s...otsc=SHR/otsi=SPIClink/COBRAND_NAME=snapfish/

(which in case he deletes the pic...here is the actual owners postings of this car)
http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2684910/1994-cadillac-deville/page-5

to which I called him out for with the actual link (above) of the real owners posting of that car. The real owner is in Vancover, BC....Caddys profile says he is in Florida (same as Steve Miller)

As soon as I called him out about the car in chat he admitted it was not his car, but his would look like that when he was done with it.

I then asked him to prove to me he was not Steve Miller....he did not reply. I then told him I would post this BOI thread and he could prove it here :thumbsup:

He has an 805 phone number...which is California...I did find a Matt Jobe on Facebook from California...but that still wouldn't explain why Caddys profile says Florida.

I did not take screen shots of the chat nor save the session, BUT there were plenty of witnesses to the situation. Including Utta and Ponderosa_Snakes, to which I'm sure they can confirm what I have said.

streetpreacher1221: how you doing willow

Willow: not your car

I edited it for language, and info that isn't relevant.
 
apologies, missed this bit.

caddyon22s: i am not saying it mins
Ponderosa_Snake:*edited*
Willow: really
Willow: then what the *edited* you trying to say bu posting that
caddyon22s: its good looking caddy thats how min is going to look when i get done. i love the blue lights
Willow: I'm posting a BOI about you
 
Btw I asked him to prove he wasn't Steve Miller right before he posted the link to the car....he ignored my request completely. He didn't even try to defend himself about it, at this point, he is not unaware of what people are thinking.
 
Last bit of chat.

Utta: Why the *edited* are you using your snapfish account?
Willow: right now
Willow: so you better be able to prove you're not Steve miller
caddyon22s: k
Willow: and stop[ posting someone elses car
ApexPredatorBoids: close up of you holding your driver's license would probably help your cause..IF you have nothing to hide
caddyon22s: sure
caddyon22s has left the room.
 
This is the only time I am going to write a reply. Yes I did post pic's up in the chat room, I never once said that was my car. Second one of the mod's need to check mine and Steven miller IP address. To see they will not be the same.And I am not Steven Miller. I don't have alot of time to spend on here like most of you guys do. And If this is how you treat new people that join this forum, Then I dont want no part of it. Please delete my account!!!

I am tried of all the rude people on this forum. This hobby should be fun and educating...
 
Caddy, I will lead the line of apologies if you can prove you're not Steve Miller, I really really will.

I will also apologies for being angry about you posting those pictures in a confusing manner, but you may want to discontinue doing that in the future.
 
and if you only posted those pics to show the blue lights because that's what yours is going to look like....why did you post the second picture of just a plain old Caddy sitting there doing nothing and not looking awesome?

I also wonder why you keep coming into chat and bringing up your car when you have actually been told multiple times that everyone was sick of hearing about it.

Could have bought a prepaid phone on Ebay from someone in California.. If someone's switching from one prepaid service provider to another, it's not at all unusual for them to not even bother to have the phone officially deactivated. Add a service card within X amount of time and you keep the last owner's phone number.
 
and your IP address not matching doesn't prove who you are or are not. A new IP address is not difficult to obtain.
 
I dont have a problem with his phone number being from Cali lol...but in a different thread that information was given with the question of if it matched Steve's number or location

It does not match Steve location (i dont know his number) but Caddy's profile location does
 
Also I was mentioning that I DID find a Matt Jobe on Facebook that lives in Cali (which would explain the phone number if it was him) BUT Caddy's profile states he lives in florida (which wouldn't be the Matt Jobe from Cali)

That line is starting to get worn out.

The manner of your posting, the fact they were on your snapfish account, and from previous attempts where you have posted pictures claiming property was yous, only to be caught lying... You can see why anyone who has been in chat with you would be skeptical

Sad to say, but true IP's can be easily hidden.

You seem to spend a fair amount of time in chat.

I'm currently in UT. I still have my 818 number, because they don't make you change area codes. Could explain the 805 area code.
 
Ok...I was making a point that he is not the Matt Jobe I found on Facebook that lives in Cali :p
 
I'm just saying that if, for some reason, someone didn't want to be traced, choosing to have an out of state number would be an easily accomplished way of throwing some confusion into the mix. Depending on the phone capabilities, it could possibly be used as a modem, which would provide for a different IP address than whatever hard-wired service someone might have installed in their home. Nothing short of some serious visual confirmation is likely to trump all the possible what-ifs.
 
No, his IP address doesn't match with Steven's, but then again, I think this says all that needs to be said...
