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

    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.

i am selling my 1985 suburban k10 suburban 4x4. has about 50,000 miles on rebiult 350 v-8, the truck is used on my deer lease, but lost the bid on it this year. so the trucks gotta go. it does need a little bit of work, but still runs and drives. *the good stuff* the truck has a 6" superlift suspension lift system. has a new front axle, and rear axle is rebiult w/ new bearings etc. (both axles are 10-bolt w/ 3.42 stock gears) it has only 2500 miles on the transmission. the transfer case is newly rebiult as well. the 4wd works flawlessly, and i have a folder of receipts adding up to over 9000.00 in this dang truck. alot of parts have been replaced. ( i have receipts on everything) the tires are 35x15.5x15 swamper TSL's, and wheels are eagle alloy 589's 15x10's.
*the Bad* the last time i had it out on the lease, i got jammed up in some nasty mucky mud. and while i was trying to grudge through it, the transmission servo cover popped off. the transmission fluid then leaked out and i noticed some smoke. i then shut it down, and later pulled it out and towed it home on a flat-bed. i re-intalled the servo cover, filled up the transmission, and proceeded to test drive it. i then noticed that the transmission did not shift into the upper gears correctly. i beleive i burned up a clutch pack or something. this has a 700r4 tranny, and if you know anything about chevy trannies, u know this one is the cheapest, and easiest to rebiuld. or go pick one up at a junkyard. also, the rear window is missing. about 8 months ago, i was on a trail, and reversed into a tree limb that shattered it. thats about all the negatives of the truck.
