Yeah, I don't think that idea would really fly. It would be an inconvenience, but anyone could just hit Printscreen and stitch together the images. Inconvenient, but possible, and a lot of trouble for very little benefit as aforementioned it would also likely just aggravate the existing client base. Still, if a flash-based comic viewing option would help bring this website into the 21st century, I'm not entirely against it. I think adding to the preexisting structure rather than trying to change the entire structure would be the better idea, because if I've learned anything, the number one thing the internet hates more than trolls is change (sad but true). Maybe a flash-based sampler system of the first few pages to whet the appetite, instead of migrating EVERYTHING over and charging a bundled monthly fee, or maybe offering a rotating stock of comics in BDSMartwork. More options as opposed to changed format kind of thing.

Still, a "donation box" wouldn't hurt, though Paypal won't accept that for very explicit reasons (pornography). There might not be much rattling around in there, but something is better than nothing.

Just my two cents.

:44 Back in the forum after a long absence, anything that can be done to beat piracy I'm all for it. How about linking the password to opening the pdf file that is linked to the ISP of the specific user and can't be opened easily by others. Some could still copy the images with screen shots, unless that can be beaten too, I remember ordering an Adult CD that I could get a screen shot, just a black page!

Flash is a bad idea, that plugin is not just a major security risk for its users, it's also virtually nonexistant on mobile devices. The entire site urgently needs a revamp anyway to be more compatible with what the web is expected to look like these days - introducing flash at this point would be a step backwards.

No reason to make it flash based, but I love the idea of offering the first few pages of each comic as a teaser. The current samples are too small, give away major plot points and/or don't do the artist much justice.

That's spot on. If you can't handle getting yelled at, never run a website...

What would "linking to the ISP" achieve?

Fair points, Terminal. Most (all?) of us are not web designers and are not up to standard. I was just throwing out ideas.
