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

    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.

All I have to say is Carson is the effing man. I picked up a NICE calico male for dirt cheap and he has ate after only being here for 2 days and is in quarantine right now but here are some pics that I snapped of him. Thanks again Carson

I have been with Carson Phelps (herpsetc) for a very long time in a serious relationship. Just found out tonight that he has been cheating on me for months. I have googled his name and found these threads numerous times stating that he was a liar and no good for his word. It made me upset because I obviously didnt deal with him on a "business" level. So now that I know it is over between us I just thought i would give everyone a heads up. He has talked so horribly about everyone. Carl, AJ, Bobby, Nick, Connor Davie...the list goes on and on of people he has said bad things about. If you need anymore information just ask him, Im sure he will LIE about it and feed you with bullshit! Hell I just lost a $500 cruise deposit that he said "I was getting paid for" and never did!

Sincerely,
Jamie Norcross (feel free to Google me, Im a licensed funeral director in NJ, with a wonderful career that he passed up for a scum bag with no job)

Miss Norcross although I can understand what you are dealing with and how you must feel. It seems pretty petty that you made an account on a reptile site and made posts on to threads about your ex that don't pretain to reptiles in any way. Most will look at your post and wonder why you did this but Carson has already had a few stumbles in this industry and well your meaningless(at least to everyone but yourself) post will not hurt him anymore then he has. My point being your post was pointless and childish at best.

But it sure was Funny!!:rofl:
 
but, i think the lady's point is to show a behavior that may relate into the herp world and business. alot of people's personal lives reflect on their business life. its like in court, alot of times the judge will ask questions not pertaining to the immediate case, but its to establish behavior patterns in general
 
again, i cant say anything, good or bad, about this guy, as i have never done any business in any way with him. i am merely pointing out, i think that is what the lady was trying to say in her post about the personal side of him
 
i have done lots of business with him he has brought many snakes my way always healthy and always cheep. never screwed me around and hopefully never will

A lot of people have no job right now. Being jobless is hardly a reason to fault someone in the current economy.

Personal betrayal is difficult to handle. To be in a long term relationship and then find out it isn't as solid as you thought is a painful experience. I hope you get through this, and go on with your life.

I do not think these kinds of details belong on a business board, however.
 
Carson Great Guy

I've been dealing with Carson for about 2 years now and we've done many $1,000 deals and I've never once had one bad dealing. He has always treated me great with exceptional animals at very resonable prices. I've met him at Hamburg, PA on multiple occasions and we've split tables at shows. The first time I met him he contacted me through email and within a week he trusted me enough to send me about $1,000 worth of animals on consignment. I consider him a good friend and will definately do business with him in the future. I don't really care what he does in his personal life as long as it doesn't interfer with his business life. Keep the animals coming Carson....If I've spelled any words wrong I appologize to the Spelling Nazis out there....lol

I just finished a deal on some sub-adult Ball morphs with Carson it was SMOOTH! Not only did he buy some from me, he got in touch with his buddy and HE also bought from me. Payment was fast and he was very respectful the whole time.
