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

    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.

Inquiry Who is Caddyon22s? Mat Jobe?

I do agree....altho we may have been wrong about Steve Miller...it does appear Caddy may really not be who he says he is.

Its not like it isn't common for someone who was banned to make a new account, Steve Miller isn't the only one lol
 
In the Steven Miller thread, there's a pic of a pied BP that was posted for sale by Steven. http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1423661&postcount=244
Here it is:

Here's a pic of a pied from Nick Hall's Facebook page, hard for me to tell, since I'm not a big BP person, but they look pretty similar to me. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000543824607

Look very closely =)

I was able to pull the larger image off of Nick's page.

The small images suck....but the lines ALL fit

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my earlier post. That IP address and locator info was for the IP address of caddyon22s. Please note the LOCATION....
 
But now it seem we may have a whole new question on our hands....

Is Nick Hall also Steve Miller?
 
For the record, "Mat Jobe" does NOT have an 805 phone number...somebody mistyped 850, and everybody ran with it.
 
I know those pics can be difficult because of the quality BUT

The lines fit decently, the brown circles (that I outlined) are hard to match since in the big picture you cant see the two smaller markings in that patch. But you can clearly see from the other two pics that those marking are just past his spine (as most stripped patterns run on either side of the spine) and in the big picture, we don't see past the spine, and that side of the snake is not visible.

The amount of white and placements of ALL patches fits perfectly, including the length of the neck pattern and the tail tip.

Since the quality of the small pics sucks it maaaay not be 100% clear....but it looks DARN close to me.

Click to expand...

850....Tallahassee....LOL

my fault for not double checking his phone number before re-posting that info, I saw 805 from the person he is doing his trade with and thought nothing of it. =) SOWWIE!!
 
Just in case the account ends up being deleted, thought I'd put this up for all to see. Seems pretty damning to me..

So ATM we are pretty close to being sure that Caddy IS Steve Miller....Since his IP and phone number are in the exact same area as Steve...and the name Mat Jobe is pretty close to Dan Jobes, who is a known alias of Steves

SOOOO

There is still the fact that Caddyon22s on Twitter....is Nick Hall.

attached a screenshot in case the Twitter account disappears

OK....well since I can't sleep and with Dan's(Apex)help lol

The original sized pic of Steve's pied that answers one question

Not the same snake, now that the pic is clear, it is easy to see (no spot behind the head)

they are freakishly similar pieds, that's for sure. And to be so similar, in such a situation, is insane lol.

Anyway....The Caddy twitter still says Nick Hall....so matching pied or no, that's still a odd issue.

With or without the pied matching up, I think that the "coincidences" are just too glaring to ignore. "Mat Jobes", aka Caddyon22s on this forum, is into pied BPs. Nick Hall (the name of an outed scammer here on FC), aka Caddyon22s on Twitter, also happens to be into pied BPs.
 
This infotmation makes me second guess a possible trade with Matt now ( the matt I talked to sounds young and he says he only 25 ) if that info helps any, but I wll only do so if he sends first and everything checks out, just to cover my butt in the event.

Being disable, mean no real funds( specially with a wedding being planned) and the outlooks of a dry summer( means no extra side project money).
To matt it nothing personal but if your Steven Miller or the nick person that the only way we will trade!
 
you know after closer looking the laptop specs have been changed from the orginal specs he listed ( cause the video card is way higher than before ( was 1 gig and a 210 geforce ) and talked of trading to me and shipping this week) and now the card (2 gig and a 610 mx) which i know not being offered in hps right now for video cards.due to the heat/power usage last i checked a couple weeks ago.
 
I agree....the coincidences are just insane.

ATM the only thing really connecting Caddy to Nick Hall would be that Twitter account.
The Twitter account is blank, so can't tell much from it besides names....soooo the options are

1.Caddy is Nick Hall (who may even be Steve Miller?? IP location and phone number suggest that)

2.Some random person made the Twitter account and it just randomly happens to match up with this guys screen name AND a previously banned members real name.

3.Someone is framing Nick Hall with a single Twitter account to connect his name to this?? (long shot since I doubt most scammers are this smart, but you never know lol)

or

4. Caddy is some random guy who just happened to fall into the worst set of coincidences ever....I'm having a hard time with that one myself lol.

Caddy's IP location and phone number do not match with the location we all have knowledge of Nick Hall being in, so again....the twitter thing is odd

I did find this
http://www.snpros.com/twitter/Caddyon22s

Which if accurate...does mean that twitter has not always been blank.
