Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Maybe some of the people here are scaring away new members?? 
I've seen it happen. But that's just a maybe.
I agree with Deborah the decline is steady not seasonal (although this does affect it) Personally, when I start to breed my own snakes, especially starting out, I don't want to pay $100 or $250 just to be able to sell snakes on fauna. I'd go to KS or something instead so this also might be why.
Just my opinion...

Huh?
It only costs $25 a year to post unlimited ads here at Fauna. Not $100 or $250.
At KS you have the following options: $20 a month, $35 every 3 months, $50 for 6 months or $100 for a year.
Personally, I utilize both.

that may be true, but, theres still a difference depending on what time of the season it is too.

Rich, I have to give you a ton of credit. You are showing that you care about the site, the members, and this hobby more and more. This thread has shown me this. I am not really sure what one thing about this thread has but it just has.
I need to get over here and post some pics and other stuff. I do it on my site, and I do have time to come here and do the same.
I do not have an answer on what is fluff and what is not. I can tell you that i went and checked out TRR's stats and I see the same thing last year I had more posts then this year. maybe it is just that we are all seeing a slow down?
I PMed you awhile back saying I was happy to see the direction fauna was headed. Not the stats but the over all feeling. It feels better here this year then it did last year. People talk about Fauna at shows. In a good way. I have said this before. You have something here. You really do. I will go on record saying this. Even if you make the classifieds free. I will continue to pay you for it. It is only right.
I am thinking it is not just fauna. Hang in there it will pass.

Obviously there are some misconceptions involved as well. Is this widespread? If so, what can be done to make accurate info more easily accessible and understood?

Endownment Membership is $250 per year (which I believe is unlimited ads?)
Benefactor is $100
and Contributor is $25...
unless I'm wrong and when you go to available subscriptions it doesn't say that...

Yeah, sometimes I try hard NOT to care. Sometimes I succeed for a while. During my busy season is when I am at my weakest, which many people have seen, I guess. This past season I just turned off that "caring" stuff completely, and it did help quite a bit.
Many times I even get myself believing that is the best way for me to be, and WISH I could stay that way....... Things would probably be easier for me around here if I could do that, but not sure how much of that would bleed over into other aspects of my life that I wouldn't really care to have.
Honestly, with all the mods now in place pitching in, things ARE easier on me around here. But I still try second guessing myself as to whether I am doing all this the best way. The problem is that there is really no other way but trying something and then kicking in the hindsight afterwards.
Thanks.....
