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

    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.

The problem with all of this "explaining" and "saying" is that not a single word of it can be believed. Not even the "I'm sorry." Personally, I don't even believe "Jordan" is your real name. Might be...but I have no reason to believe it is, nor does anyone else.
 
Not even "Jordan"...but "JordYn"....Jordyn Ivy. Nice exotic name there from someone who lives to invent themselves.
 
I don't know Lena/Laura other than having read her posts from time to time, but I will say this: I believe that she does have the problem she spoke of. I was already thinking, while reading Dee's first post, that this was a person with a serious personality disorder. We've all heard stories of women who steal babies and try to pass them off as their own. Wanting others' "lives" so badly that you try to appropriate them is a genuine disorder. Her statement to Dee (at least about why she did it) strikes me as the truth.

Now on to page 2...this blew up so fast!
 
OK, so.............who was the naked chick in the pics you texted me?
 
Wheres the usual fauna patrol? where are their pitch forks?

I'm not sure how long. I didn't think they would be my friends IRL. But I had "friends" (not really because it was all a lie) on here.. and that made me happy. I had people actually talk to me, and like me.

I know that this was the wrong way to go about things. I am coming clean now. I am talking to someone here, on my real account Jordyn, and I am confiding in her with everything.

I would like to start over. As the REAL me. But I know that that is going to be imposible on her.

I do have reptiles. But I do not sell them. Well I have a couple.

I'm really at a loss for words here. (And most of you know I can run on pretty good) A TRUE friend will like you for who you are, regardless of your looks, income level, education, religion, color, the color of your hair, the car you drive, where you live, and so on. Being a friend is something that comes from within. The best way to make friends is to be yourself. If someone doesn't like you for who you are, then you move on until you find someone who does. There are friends out there for everyone, including you, whatever your name is.

I will admit that you had me fooled. I thought you were really a very nice wholesome person, but clearly I was wrong. I even nominated you for something Lucille started for Fauna Couple or something like that. Don't remember exactly what it was right off hand. The Fauna members are victoms of your little identity crisis game.

If you feel the need to be someone else, then you need to take a long look in the mirror, and ask yourself what is missing from your life. Change starts with the man in the mirror, or in this case, the women in the mirror. You are a women aren't you? Or was that a lie also? Everyone has problems, and no one is perfect. The Sun rises every day creating a new day, so life goes on. Learn to be yourself, and learn to like yourself, and you will find that life will be a lot better. Life may not be perfect, but it will be better. For your sake, I hope you can find whatever it is you are missing.
 
In my opinion, none of her apologies have been sincere in the least. The "I'm sorry's" have no heartfelt emotion behind them at all,and that they're defensive as well.
Do you think that any of us would readily accept a brief apology like what you have said over and over again in this thread? I am a very forgiving person, and i like to believe people can learn from their mistakes, but if a person does not show sincere regret for their actions, then i truly believe they are not sorry for anything they may or have done.

If what Heath has said is true, your actions make you no better than Christina Wise in my book:(
 
This person has told people that we had met, I guess to give her some credibility. She even went so far as to say we had sex, and that I could possibly be the father of her twins. Of course it is all false, but I want people to know this. This person has done a lot of damage to me and my reputation with their lies, all because I started to question some of her stories. The extreme temper of her when she gets caught in something, tells me there is no limit to what they will say or do. Anybody talking to this person, use extreme caution and do not believe anything she tells you. I've seen her apology to me bofore in open chat, see where that got me.

Sadly, I have to agree. When people lose trust or respect in someone it can be very hard to get those back. In this case, I don't think I would ever trust whatever her name is, and I have lost all respect. It's one thing to tell a lie, but to carry on like this all over the internet is just pethitic, and inexcusable.

I agree her violent temper has been unleashed on my facebook and is no joke. She is crazed lunatic. I have caught her many times , she became extremely hostile. Refusing to take any blame. Also her friend Goombas Reptiles seems to go along with whatever she does.
 
This is true, I have spoke with Goombas Reptiles, Tony, a couple times in the past week or two. It may have been the way I presented it, but he has basically taken her side. Either he still believes her, or just doesn't care who he is friends with.
 
I would like to come clean about one other thing, and I won't be posting anymore.

I have come clean about everything but the fact that..

Yes Derek, I am a minor.
