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

    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.

Sidetrack Dan, King of Mites

That is what you’re concerned about? I thought it was Ray's reputation?
Guess not! Having people focus on you does not help Ray it only prolongs the thread.

Regardless of your efforts in HELPING Ray his reputation is still intact. This thread would have ended long ago with the same outcome if you had not partaken in it.

Hey looky there, DUMBASS, even chucky an' me agree on this one and if WE agree you know it is BEYOND any doubt that WE are right.

DUMBASS, pinhead, I'd continue but what's the point? Everyone BUT you you you, dannyboy, knows just what an ASS you really are. Actually, I think you know but don't want to admit it.

DUMBASS DUMBASS DUMBASS
 
Jim: Well if you ever see a mite, just be careful to not break the chair when you jump on it.

Wes: Did you find her yet?

Dennis: Your wrong again on your assessment and I have not done business with the seller and have no interest to help him. Your implication is only verification of your misperceptions to mislead and sidetrack. Are you fearful like Jim that if this thread is prolonged that people may voice that is wrong and not fair to prejudge the seller before he was heard. They do not have to voice it, as it's common sense.

After reading 37 pages of this thread all I see is you Dan stirring the pot. Yes, YOU. You have to apply your stupidity to everything wrote here. Then you sit back, wait for the responses and get ready to grab your ladle and stir again.

PUT DOWN THE SPOON AND BACK AWAY FROM FROM THE CAULDRON........
 
Dan...

This thread is dead. Ray and Tim will now work this out. Youre causing a comotion just like YOU did when YOU demanded it be frozen. Start a thread in hell and allow this thread to end happy. Unless you have a problem with happiness, DUMBASS.
 
Chuck/Mike:

Your both wrong. My name was brought back into it many pages ago by Jim who was insulting and attacking as his defense that he prejudged the seller and vice offering an apology, he attacked me again.

And I did not even know it until several pages later, so your assessment of who started it all back up was not accurate to say the least.

And I am permitted to ask the buyer a question and he answered it, so if I am satisfied with his answer, then what is your problem?

Are you going to try and strong arm me into not asking a question especially when it is relevant considering this is a reptile forum and we were speaking about reptiles?

Could you just STOP posting this nonsense and START a thread about all YOUR problems with everyone PLEASE!

Give Ray the respect he deserves and allow this thread which is about HIM and Tim to get some rest. How about that, DUMBASS.

That's where you are wrong, Chuck. It's all about Sidetrack Dan Scolaro. Always is where he is concerned.

Was that a question?

Are you Nuts? What did I say? I said. “I hope Ray addresses the issue soon. I have read a lot of good things about him.”
Get your facts straight.

I give you credit Dan; you have brought everyone on both sides of the issue together here about you.

This is just yet another thread that has become about you "Dan the Mite Man" without your name in the title of thread.

I will say it again for you.

The Buyer and everyone else had a right to voice their opinion on the packaging and shipment, which was laid out for people to see. There is no wrong in judging that. I had a right to my opinion as I stated which was to hear from Ray. The only piece that does not fit is you. The seller was expected to address it, which he did. You’re the only one that does not get it. Continue by all means prove you have absolutely no common sense but do it on your thread in HELL, it belongs there.
 
Chuck:

Stop what? I have no problems with anyone even you. I actually feel sorry for you.

Stop ensuring that people get a fair opportunity to speak before they are hanged?

Who made you the boss of me?

Great, I'll start a pity party for MYSELF in HELL. But STOP POSTING on Rays thread. He doesnt need your negative publicity while he is trying to do the right thing, DUMBASS.

There Is a resolution to this shpping issue, in case you read that one in just a nanosecond and missed it, DUMBASS.

Blessed is he who shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brothers keeper and finder of lost children.

I'm not your boss, I'm just your shepherd.
 
Dennis: I did not say that you in particular prejudged the seller. I asked if you were concerned that this thread may be prolonged if other people voiced concerns about prejudging. Your insults are not appreciated by the way. I think you ought to be able to communicate with me without them as I do not use them on you even when necessary.

Jim: I do not think anyone should tell anyone else when they should stop posting unless they are the moderator and have a reasonable excuse to ask this of the person.
 
You just don't get it...........

Is there ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE at all, who is reading this, that if you were given moderator powers for JUST 10 seconds, would NOT boot dannyboy off this site?

Anyone? Anyone at all?
 
Mike/Chuck:

Yea I get it.

You wish to stop me from posting on this thread as you think it is not fair to the seller.

You're concerned for the seller. That is nice.

So where the heck were the both of you when this seller was getting bashed from some people who judged him to be guilty of all those things?

If you were not there then watching his back, why are you here now pretending to care about it? You have no one fooled.
 
Damn your dense :dunce: ......... Sometimes a thread just needs to run it's course without every single person jumping on it with their opinions.

The only reason I have said anything on this thread is because YOU won't let the damn thing die it's natural death.

The issue was resolved pages ago................ What are you trying to prove?

Saying that youre thinking of insults to dish out to another person is just as bad as writing it about them. DUMBASS. Do we list courage as one of YOUR strong points too?

MAYBE, you'll just stop posting when Ray tells you to stop.
