=====================
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.

Shawn, you DO realize that shipping lizards via USPS is not unlawful while shipping any snakes through USPS is a violation of law?
Shawn, we ALL know that there was no such thing as being SYR certified through SYR. Just because we used their service didnt mean we were certified through them.
Benjamin, so are you ADMITTING that you illegally shipped snaked via USPS, regardless of how many days it took to receive them?
Why make it retaliatory Shawn? Did you follow her TOS in the sense that she knew something was up withint the first 3 days. What I am saying here is that telling someone a Beardie is "shy" does not constitute a health issue but more of a personality trait. I am sure you get what I am saying.

Okay, coming from the guy who admittedly just got out of prison and sends emails in prison language is a farce. Dont you have your own threads to deal with?
Also, it is NOT illegal to ship lizards through the USPS, only snakes.
Good Shawn, as you mean nothing to me as well. However, I am not stating any opinion here sir, just fact. The fact is that Amanda did not break any laws by shipping out LIZARDS via USPS whereas someone DID in fact ship Amanda some snakes unlawfully through USPS from YOUR address. Whether it was you, or your son, that makes no difference as YOU were the one she primarily dealt with.

I don't know anything about what you received, what Amanda produces, or anything about how she does business - so I have no opinion on any of that. I was responding to the post (of yours) that I quoted. Nothing more, nothing less.

Coming from someone who has like 6 bad guys thread on them, pleaseeeeeee..
P.S didn't you come to me with "I'm sorry, I was wrong" and I should not have made a bad post on you, ect.. So now you are changing your mind eh?
We know who the bad guys was there we ALL do...
As Dean and I both have already stated you CAN ship lizards USPS.. It is not against any rules or laws it is welcomed as long as you mark the box live reptiles..
my back round has nothing to do with this thread amanda is finially coming oout of her shell and you all can see it as for me i have a short fuse and i showed you that strickly exotics huh a joke get a life.I dont have threads to deal with im not a bad guy i have an iquiry gone bad and a recent good guy thread so whats up with that im not the bad one its the original person amanda like i said my bad guy thread was well deserved and she walked away unscathed and i got roofed well its her turn LOL its about time.
Coming out of my shell??? Because his trans died 10 days after he has had it in his care????
As I said I have sold to others on here, who are STILL happy with their reptiles. "healthy reptiles"

Why don't you go scam someone and stop turning this tread into something about you and the past, take it to the old thread if you will?!!
And I came out "unscathed" as you say because I did NOTHING WRONG..
And I came out "unscathed" as you say because I did NOTHING WRONG..
What exactly constitutes a "bad guy" in your eyes? Are you stating that Amanda is a bad guy for following the law as well as her TOS? Is she a bad guy for shipping on a payment plan? She might have made some bad judgement calls in her transaction, but tell me how she is a bad guy here.
Animals die, it happens. Not completing the payment plan because the animal in question died AFTER the TOS constitutes a bad guy to me. Shipping in violation of the law as well as the Lacey Act is bad for our hobby and I constitute that as a person DETRIMENTAL to our hobby (which is worse than just being a bad guy).
So, Mr Perkins, again... What constitutes a bad guy in YOUR book?

You started a bad guy thread on Amanda just because she didn't talk to you on the phone. Nothing more. So I'm not exactly sure why you are in such a huff.
I, on the other had, do have animals from Amanda. They have been with me for almost 3 months now. There's not been one issue with them. She did ship to me USPS which is completely legal and they arrived in perfect health. I can show pics if any one wants to see.
Shawn, not trying to pick on you, but if the animal was sick upon arrival why didn't you go ahead and tell Amanda? Do you have emails showing where you talked to her about this?
