Yes,I believe that would be a wise use of the remaining time.

But something tells me that when 02-02-2020 rolls around, the disappearance of the BOI will still come as a surprise to a number of people.

So what is it, exactly, that does not make sense to you? Is my dissection of the facts I see unsound? Is my perspective of the facts just skewed in some way?

In my shoes, how would you see all this differently?

Rich, My friend. It has been a long journey. Fauna has seen more then any other forum. It is sad to see it go. But your reasoning I understand.

You will always be part of my reptile family. Thank you for the BOI, and all of Fauna! I know this is hard on you. Love ya brother

With the recent heavy handedness by Facebook, people are looking for options again for sales. Would that sway you at all to keep this open?

FaunaClassifieds will not be shutting down, just the BOI.

Thanks for the kind words, Gary. I hope life is treating you well.

Ah, ok. I understand your reasons, just wish it could continue. It is such an awesome resource.

That is what I thought. But apparently our opinions of the BOI are not widely shared. Darn shame, as I (and a lot of other people) put a lot into it to try to help people all these years, but it is what it is. Too many people voted the other way with their internet browsers.

The voting with internet browsers could well have been helped by the lunacy that was allowed to continue for years unchecked on Farcebook.

Now it seems they had a serious house cleaning and rabble rousting session but I fear too little and too late.

As always unfortunately people will realise too late what they had and what they are now missing which is a shame but not unusual today .

People can still express opinions via the trader rating - hopefully they will start to use that more.
