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

    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.

:D I see you know my hubby! ok-I'll sign him up
 
Hehe, I laughed out loud when I read this because I'm the biggest enabler of all the above; I never say a word because he always is doing nice things for me. Barry is guilty of all but the parallel parking one, but mostly because I don't fool around behind the wheel. As many times as this was read, only you commented; I hope ppl aren't taking this joke seriously...
 
Hmm, can I sign someone up to take my place? Aside from the flowers I think I can pass that class.
 
aaww, you are an angel... :)
How many years have you been married?
 
I have been married for 2 years.
 
Well congrats! Hopefully your spouse is not getting on your nerves too much, I think I just bug the crazy out of my wife. Of course I just laugh and remind her that she agreed to marry a nut.
 
Hahaha, that's my gift too...I bug HIM, he doesn't bug me. He puts up with the roach bins, three chams and any animal in need I happen upon...
 
I give my wife one of these quite often :raspberry she seems to think it means "hit me" but that's okay. I then return a :>poke2<: which annoys her the most. Oh the joys of marriage. Though I have learned that being married does give me someone I can blame. I just say "I'm married" with that I can get away with just about anything.
 
:rofl:
Yea, well saying that doesn't work if you are a woman...I tried that once and STILL got the speeding ticket, haha!
 
:rofl: :rofl:

I can see you are a troublemaker. Well, you know what they say about girls like you.... :cool:
 
Probably would have helped my cause had I not been doing 90 in a 55 zone in a beat up 1973 Dodge Colt with over 300,000 miles on it :rolleyes: I used to just floor that old car and wait till it got up to speed. I'm glad that happened during my first marriage 13 years ago in another state, because I probably came close to losing my license...
I remember when I told others that my car had over 300,000 miles on it, they always asked to see the odometer.
 
Thats cool! I once drove from So. California to Washington sate, it is supposed to be a 26 hour drive, I made it in 19 hours. Even better, I drove back in 17 hours :bolt01:

I was lucky to not have been caught, doing 110mph was a little too fast. After 2 tickets 15 mph over the speed limit I stopped stomping on the gas, being broke and paying up $300 taught me a great lesson.
 
Yea, I hear you. Losing one's license or getting fined is not pretty. It slowed me down. Still when I think nobody's looking, sometimes it's nice to listen to the V6 sing though...
Wow, that IS fast! What were you driving??

Oh, this is too easy! Nobody needs a course for this:

HOW TO FILL ICE CUBE TRAYS
Put empty ice cube tray in freezer, someone will fill it. Problem solved!

TOILET PAPER ROLLS- DO THEY GROW ON THE HOLDERS?
Who needs holders? It comes right off the cardboard tube even if it's not on the holder. :toiletcla

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LAUNDRY BASKET & FLOOR
Pfffft! If the floor isn't filled with dirty clothes, then how do you know when it's time to do laundry?

DISHES & SILVERWARE; DO THEY LEVITATE/FLY TO KITCHEN SINK OR DISHWASHER BY THEMSELVES?
No, you put them in the sink, then someone will wash them eventually.

LOSS OF VIRILITY
No problem, I don't watch TV. :raspberry

EMPTY MILK CARTONS; DO THEY BELONG IN THE FRIDGE OR THE GARBAGE CAN?
They go in the fridge... DUH! :rolleyes:

REAL MEN ASK FOR DIRECTIONS WHEN LOST
That depends on the meaning of the word "lost."

HOW TO BE THE IDEAL SHOPPING COMPANION
Shopping sucks. The ideal is to stay home. Works great for me.

REMEMBERING IMPORTANT DATES & CALLING WHEN YOU'RE GOING TO BE LATE
Don't forget what? Wait, what was the question?

:dgrin:

Well, I was driving a 1990 4 cylinder Honda Accord. Which is not the best car to have around here as ALL the cops will watch me. I have been followed on many occasions just because of the car, I guess I am the drug-dealing-gang-bangin'-pistol-packin'-speed-deamon-racer.
 
At the insistence of my girlfriend, I took that course last year. It has really improved our relationship. And I must say, I only miss my testicles occasionally...
