Now that the above is out of the way, let's get on with it.
FaunaClassifieds has gone through a lot of changes over the years, some good and some bad. In all cases those changes were done simply to try to make the site be better than it was before the changes were implemented. It seems that more often than not, those changes just made things worse. And there have been many people saying things like "I sure wish FaunaClassifieds (or the BOI) went back to the way that it used to be."
Well honestly, I'm not really sure what the "old way" really was like, but I'm trying to roll back certain things to see if we can somehow get closer to what was apparenlty the "ideal" in some people's minds. Yeah, yet another CHANGE.
Most importantly, I have discontinued the paid membership requirement put into place over a year ago. After running it that way for a year, under advisement by quite a few people, I just came to the conclusion that it is not in the best interests of FaunaClassifieds to run that way. So yes, classifieds are now free for all members to post their ads within. And quite honestly, with the economy being like it is lately, I guess every little bit helps in trying to same some money here and there. So hopefully this will help some people who found even the slightest fee just too much to bear because of their slim profit margins.
Also, FaunaClassifieds is woefully behind on having the software updated. This should take place sometime around the end of July, so there may be some slight downtime associated with that upgrade. I will be taking a close look at all the optionals on the site now, as well as possibly some that have been available for vBulletin, but just not for the old version the site is now using.
Anyway, trying to keep this relatively short... If you've been away from FaunaClassifieds for a while, now might be the time to come on back to take a look around. Traffic is building back up and there are more classified ads being posted every day. And, of course, the BOI is still trouncing bad guys as well as ever.
So with all that in mind, thanks for registering on FaunaClassifieds, and I hope to see you around real soon.
Thank you,
