This is definitely something I would like to see gone.

It also forces clients of furry mature art away. The site looks sleezy while you're trying to talk serious and professionally to a customer who may want nsfw art and sfw art. Those outraged will leave the site, even temporarily but will cost artists revenue. It hurts the artists, not the advertisers or the site. FA's system of cache advertising is effective, I click on more FA ads than any other, for on or offsite, however I will never click a porn site ad. ever. And more people than not will never click on random porn ads. now MATURE ads can be a different story. Perfume ads, clothing, etc. utilize 'sexual' advertising and are far more likely to attract relivant buyers. FA is NOT a porn site and therefore an average porn site will NOT appeal to them. If they are looking at porn, they are looking at furry stuff. If these browsers are looking to spend money, its on custom art, not a porn subscription.

No need to say much about this. Just disappointed. RL porn doesn't belong on this site.

While not personally affect by this myself (thank you, Adblock), I would most certainly be disgusted by such ads and am appalled to learn that FA has taken to breaking its own rules. Not to mention that I've been a member on FA for years because it was an art site. I wouldn't want to break away from that, but if it continues to advertise porn like this, I may as well just leave as I don't want to be associated with a place like that. I hope this petition works.

I am more concerned for the reputation and experience of FA users than for the profitability of the ads.

These advertisements are inappropriate because FurAffinity is not strictly a pornographic website.

If there are options for SFW or Maturity levels, then such adult ads should not be visible with those settings. If someone wants such sites, they can look on their own time. Don't force them down everyone's throats.

We are a more respectful community than this. I've signed with FA before IMVU took it over, and I do not wish to see it meddled like this!

FA is a community for the furries. "Normal" porn ads are not respectful towards the community, the viewers, and looks poorly to those learning about the community. We need positive Ads, not demotive/negative.

I want FA to be able to make money. I want it to be able to support itself. However allowing 'Adult' Ads it not the way to go. Please make the ads relevant to the site at the very least. I'll no longer be able to take advantage of buying ads from FA because most of the site is now using Ad block. I would have rather you all made paid accounts like DA has rather than use the kind of banner ad program you chose.

This is bs. FA shouldn't turn into another money/business-driven website. Don't start going downhill like dA did.

The way Dragoneer has treated this site is disgusting for all it's users and Fender choosing to defend this nonsense is beyond belief.
If you're reading this Dragoneer, I hope you are proud of selling FA to a group that couldn't care less about the fandom who have done nothing but brought shame to this site.
