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

    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.

Aside from the alteration claim (the original photo may have been the same or different, I do n to know) if you did not take the picture and it is on someone's website you cannot just take it without permission.

I called you 1 time, you don't have a message center set up, so I could not of bugged you. You called me, remember? You got my phone # from your caller ID.

As far as what was said, you & I both know that is NOT how the conversation went, and I don't have nor will I make the time to play he said, she said, especially with the likes of you.

YES! Ty is a very close friend, and I'm EXTREMELY PROUD to say so!

I can't even see the outline of the new photos you are referring to but that really doesn't matter anyways. Your ad is glowing around the silhouette of the animal? I can't explain that ?I do have a good ideal though on why it could look the way it does but you can probably explain better since its your photo, animal, and ad. I also went to school for graphic and web design so I am pretty good with photos.
 
I can't believe you agreed to send $200 to this guy. You truely are a man of your word.

Mike, I'd stop posting if I were you. You're making yourself look absolutely terrible.

Please don't tell me to shut up.

I do NOT know Ty, AT ALL. I've never had contact with him, ever. I am not his friend.
 
OK Mike....I must admit, you are either crazy or your lack of English needs help bad, as what you post here do not make any sense. If you are not crazy, you should really try to get a translator. You post animals that belongs to David Blair and yet you claim that they are yours when asked if you have permission to post them. In this country, you can not just post photos that belongs to others without their permission. I also asked you at least 3 time to provide information needed for me the send you the money, yet all you are saying is where's my money. How would I be able to send you money order without you giving me the information?
