Theres a bit of bad news for you non-members. I’ve always tried to keep Bloomin’ Faeries! clean. Despite the strip being NSFW, I’ve rejected (as much as I could) ads that contained full nudity because it didn’t fit with the image and branding of the site.
That choice, however, came at a price, namely with a huge limitation on the potential ads that could be displayed. With fewer advertisers interested, ad prices tend to go down, which in turn reduces ad revenues. This wasn’t so bad while membership was up, but after the Paypal fiasco, we lost 20% of the members. So now, we’re hemorraging money.
Come end of July, if the situation hasn’t improved, I plan on opening the advertisement to… “cruder” types of ads. Members (who don’t see the ads) will be unaffected, but the rest of you might be exposed to some tasteless stuff. I apologize for this in advance and promise you to remove those ads as soon as possible.
Best regards,

Well, I appreciate you taking the time to inform us of the situation. Many webmasters would simply stick up whatever ads were fed to them and call it a day.

I felt it was the least I could do. The readership of this strip has always been very supportive and encouraging, and it’s my responsibility to treat them as partners, not customers.
Thanks for your understanding.

I don’t mind dirty ads in the least, personally. As long as they’re not completely tasteless it’s cool. I do like the current crop of ads, but more nudity would be kind of nice too. I guess we’ll see just what does end up showing up in the way of new ads come the end of the month.
