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

    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.

    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

Can't wait to see what these two throw this year.

Does this mean that people in the forum sit and purposely watch their geckos copulate???

Yeah I probably will too, that's nothing after seeing my shepherds stuck together for an hour...poor jerry was bent backwards...in a bad way.

Click to expand...

only if we're feelin kinky ;)

lol, its just to make sure they get it done..its not for any type of pleasure...lmao
 
yeah I know, I always feel like quite the perv when I watch my dogs, but then I always have to be by them because my female will try to run to me, while they are stuck, and jerry is right behind her with his little pinkie (what we call his K9 "part") bent at an unnatural angle as she drags him. If she can't see me, she'll run all over the house with him. I'm just so worried that one day she'll pull it off :bolt01:
 
Well that is how the pooches do it...It's not an unnatural angle for the male to turn around so the dogs are facing away from each other...its completely normal... You should know that if you're breeding them...

Anyway......nice gecko porn Dan! lol
 
yes I do know that, that does not however make me feel any better for my poor jerry lee. especially when he gets dragged around like that. It's natural human emotion to always be concerned about the welfare of ones animals
 
He could be injured getting dragged around while they're coupled...but its not an unnatural bend
 
no it didn't, I know that's why I feel like a perv, because I have no choice but to watch them. Last time I had a friend over, so we spent like 45 minutes petting them and calming them down till they split.

What I hate is what comes after all that....the little monsters take over my house
anyone want a pup?? I'll even let them go for $200 I want my house back
 
no, i took the pics in the dark, so his pupils where pretty dialated..i wish he was snakeeyed though, lol
 
wow this conersation went from reptile outcomes to reptile breeding to dog breeding.....well im sure you will get some great out comes of those two.good luck
