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

    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.

Your correct Dan. Calling you dense was being far too kind. Obtuse would be more fitting in this situation.

Thank you, I will try. You have a good day also.

NO YOU DONT. ZEDS DEAD BABY, ZEDS DEAD.

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

I dont wish to stop you, I wish you would stop yourself.


Dan Scolaro said:
You're concerned for the seller. That is nice.

I think he is going to get concerned soon too.

Dan Scolaro said:
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?
Click to expand...

I had a near heart attack from laughing so hard when you demanded the thread be frozen. Thats where I was. And for the record I may have been a pain in the ass on this thread and very demanding but even I voted to allow Ray to get back and address the issue.

Dan Scolaro said:
If you were not there then watching his back, why are you here now pretending to care about it? You have no one fooled.
Click to expand...

Watching his back? We commented on a lousy shipping job and when he got back he answered for it. Where have you been retard?
 
I have to admit that this thread is rather entertaining, but as my grandmother used to say:

"BOYS BOYS BOYS, DO I HAVE TO SIT IN BETWEEN YOU!?!"

:raspberry :rofl: :raspberry
 
Ok, Tim got the bill to me and man they NAILED him on shipping! Must have been dimensional. Payment sent. By the way Bill...The right thing was already decided upon before Tim even posted this thread. In no way shape or form was I influenced to change anything in my business practices in regards to handling a problem. TIM WAS TOLD TO SEND THE SNAKE BACK AND IT WOULD BE REFUNDED BEFORE HE EVEN POSTED...Good luck Tim and hope to hear from you again.

Sure, I believe that you probably had this problem worked out before he contacted you to buy the snake in the first place.

Well anyway, thats just great Ray! I'm sure you would have not waited for any bill, phone call,subtle hint, or smoke signal, and resolved the issue just like you did Chris Johnson, who also had an erroneous shipping charge. You take care now and tell that excellent packer working for you that methadone could be his answer.
 
Ray sent me the shipping refund so I am more than happy now. There is nothing else that needs to be done and he did the right thing fixing this so I have no problems with him. Lets just stop the fighting and move on....


Thanks, Tim Rash
 
Glad to hear it Tim!

I was a young man when I began reading this thread now I feel the arthritis setting in. 42 pages on a dial up connection AHHHHHH !!!!!

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?

Based on the drivel you continue to spout here Dan we all assumed you had a keeper somewhere that has been remiss in his duties. Chuck was just standing in for him till he gets back from his break.

All I ever see you do in throw in your two cents to incite an argument, so you're useless to this board.

You are a real piece of work Scolaro. You end up on the dumb side of virtually every thread you attempt to "contribute" to. You obviously don't pay much attention to the majority of my posts if you can make a moronic comment like that.

Mike said it well....you are nothing but a pot stirrer with a fetish for big words you don't quite know how to use in a sentance.

Thirty some odd years of experience (you claim)

Inside knowledge of how all the "big breeders" conduct business although no one ever heard of you until a year or so ago.

You exaggerate and embelish, without fail, on every topic.

You are capable of seriously making assinine statements like your Ode to Mites in this thread...

...and you wonder why no one ever takes you seriously?

If you were any more full of crap you'd be choking on it.

John,

Well put. I could not have said it any better.
 
John:

You're wrong again.

This thread has set idle for an entire day and you decided a minute ago to make a post and insult me for no reason but only to stir the pot.

Your a professional pot stirrer. You know it, I know it, we all know it.

I am free to express my opinion of a transaction. If you do not agree, then that is fine, post some information that may present a different view, but refrain from insults as that only depicts character.

Gee....I don't know but that sounded awfully like an insult. Perhaps a lesson in practicing what you preach is in order?

"Ray sent me the shipping refund so I am more than happy now. There is nothing else that needs to be done and he did the right thing fixing this so I have no problems with him. Lets just stop the fighting and move on....

You must have some friendship with Ray to be walking all over his thread ranting and raving about yourself when clearly its been resolved. What a happy thread this could have been too. Ray weathered the storm and quickly resolved Tims issues 1, 2, 3. Proved himself a stand up guy even though he really didnt need to do it. One order would never have ruined this guys rep, even if he admitted doing it himself. Now he has you to thank for constantly keeping it at the top instead of in the archives of satisfaction.

You know DUMBASS, theres a whole slew of UNRESOLVED cases on the BOI if you ever want to do anything useful with yourself and tackle one.

Great !!

THE END

Dan if you would like to address how people respond to threads and not the thread in discussion. You should start a thread in the feedback forum.

WebSlave,
The buyer and seller have resolved this thread, it continues to go off topic and should be locked down.
 
Chuck: Wrong again. John, like you, who also throws insults and hides-behind the security of his computer and is incapable of a professional conversation, brought the topic back-up when he began to insult. And I have no friendship or business with the seller, so your implication is also wrong.

Dennis: It's best to prevent something then to fix it later, and you could not prevent pre-judgment on this issue from another forum or thread. And since it was a very reasonable request attention to prevent pre-judgment, it is also reasonable to follow through with the issue. It will benefit future outbursts of prejudging.

What every your reason is, by your statement above alone you are trolling this thread and posting off the topic. Its against the rules of the forum.
