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

    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.

alright, my opinion of keith is that he's probably addicted to either meth or crack. no other reason to act the way he does. on more than one occasion, he's accused me of lying about who i am and/or being one of the other duckworth's on here or something that leads me to believe he thinks i'm someone he's dealt with or something. he's about as easy to get legitimate info out of as is the neighborhood stray dog.

so, since i'm sure he can't figure out how to do it on his own, i am going to give him the short list of other duckworths on this site and hopefully he'll figure out which one it is he has the problem with.

i was rickyduckworth until last year when someone hacked all of my online accounts and caused trouble. i noticed that someone logged on with that account recently, but haven't posted. someone has also applied for 2 car loans in my name in the past 2 weeks (15 since last february) so someone is basically aggravating me or attempting to. no problem, i called experian and put an alert on my account yesterday to keep anymore inquiries from being made without my approval.

the rest of the duckworths have nothing to do with me. not related, don't live near each other, don't speak, don't know them.

here are the names i came up with on here:

HERE IS A BOI THREAD ABOUT DAN DUCKWORTH:
http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96394&highlight=duckworth

suncoast herpetological once mistook me for dan duckworth and made this post: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/forums/showpost.php?p=494209&postcount=61

but after a couple of civil PMs, it was resolved:


**************My apologies It was Dan Duckworth

i'm still curious about this. like i stated in a PM a few months back, i have had someone hack my online info and cause a lot of issue. as you can see, i rarely post here and you mentioned that i "shot a lowball offer on every boa or python ad on the site" or something to that effect. i'd really like to know why you said that and what name or screen name you thought you were referring to, since i have 14 posts on this site. reason i bring it back up now is that i found out a couple of days ago that there had been 25 inquiries into my credit that i know nothing about, and that coupled with the car loans i was called about but didn't apply for has me worried. SOMEONE got their hands on my info and is wreaking havoc. mostly mischief, but the attack is real and has the potential for real damage. if you mistook me for someone else (there is another duckworth on this site, although i'm not related) or someone posing as me actually did this (what screen name and contact info can you get me) i'd like to know anything if you can remember. thanks*************

so Keith, i'm not the same duckworth you think i am, or the same person or anyone who'd even freaking deal with you. you're an ass and how you're in business is beyond me and some other folks from what i've read. they say your online personality is not your "in-person" personality. i'm sure you're crazy, but either way, figure out WHO your problem is with and aggravate them.

also, here is some proof of who i am and where i live (you insinuated that i was hiding behind dynamic IPs:

Keith is a moron that lives off of attention.
Don't let him get to you.
I have never seen an intelligent post from this guy yet so just do what most of us do. Ignore him.
 
well it's not that he's just annoying, i could hit ignore, but he genuinely believes that i'm someone else and he's not the first person to mistake me for the other duckworths. i didn't realize how many duckworths were out there until a few years back. here in alabama there are a bunch i'm not related to and half of them are black. when i was little, i would have sworn duckworth was a name given only to me and my siblings to make life rough lol.

but from what i've read, dan duckworth seems to have irked a few people and maybe it's him. unless it has something to do with someone posing as me on here, which has happened on other boards, but that was mischief and there wouldn't have been a deal or anything. i've not lost any money from my accounts (i'm broke anyway).
 
He could not care less about the attention. He is out to amuse no one but himself. Yes he is completely over the top sometimes. But so what.

The guy is just different than most. And that is what most find most bothersome about him. He aint like them. Well too damn bad.

Keith is freaking hilarious. I personally find him to be a breath of fresh air. Even if I dont agree with everything he does.
 
Richard,

I grew up with a Ricky Duckworth. From grade school through junior high. When I first seen your old user name I wondered at first if it was you. Certainly not the most common last name, as you are the first Duckworth I have met since my childhood friend.

On a side note, sorry to hear you and Keith are having this misunderstanding.

While I don't always agree with a lot of what Keith says and does either...I really enjoyed that post. I think he relates to animals better than he does people, lol....but actually found a cool meaning behind that post. I believe all animals speak to us in a way, if you are smart enough to "listen".

Which reminds me, I was going to go tell Randy how cool those pics were....

*toodles off to go find a more enlightening thread*
