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

    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.

Ok Kelli....since I'm posting you have to post a pic of you too!

This photo was taken 10/16/2004 while out in the Big Hatch Mountains here in New Mexico. Me, my best friend's brother and his girlfriend, my best friend, and 2 other herping friends were there. This is me after hiking for 6 hours and craving the refreshing taste of Adult Liquid Refreshment (green apple smirnoff) and an extremely dirty sock. The sock was the best part, aged nicely and seasoned to perfection.

Guilty conscience kelli?? All I said on MSN was I was going to post, now whether or not I was going to act on it was another story, but you beat me to it, so now.....


EVERYONE POINT AND LAUGH AT KELLI, SHE HAS A LAZY EYE.

(for those that may view me as insensitive for the above comment, I'm sorry, just a joke between kelli and i through MSN messenger which she brought to here, ROFLMAO!)

EDIT:

BTW Kelli, I bet if you up your intake of Vit A and avoiding incubating yourself per Tremper incubation methods and actually try not to CHEAT your overall coloration....I bet, just bet, that lazy eye will go away!
 
Here be me…

It’s always nice putting a name with a face.

Ok, since no one has seen me here’s my ugly mug…
 
Rhonda advised against this as I am in desperate need of a hair cut, but I figure my geckos love me just the way I am why wouldn't you. Here I am in all of my unshaven glory after a full day of work. Enjoy.

Just another old guy . . .

. . . this is me . . . 43 and worn out.

I did get new glasses - still nerdy but not as bad.

I feel so old around you young bucks.

PS - there needs to be a rule for old goats like me posting after such nice looking people post just before them. Sorry for such a tough contrast!!
