We've been trying to run this site uncensored when it comes to all forms for drawn material for quite some time now, but now it seems that our own popularity might have caught up with us.

As sad as it might be, we absolutely depend on advertisers in order to cover the costs of running this place - donations are no way near enough. The hosting costs for 2009 were somewhere in the area of $46k, donations were less than half that. You'd think 3.7 million visitors would throw in on average a tenth of a cent each per month, but alas, this is the Internet and few people are willing to pay anything for anything. And as the advertisers are running on stricter standards than we have been, some changes have to be applied.

Which brings us to the point: starting right now, certain types of content are no longer allowed on E-Hentai Galleries:

- Depictions of underage characters ("lolicon" and "shotacon")

- Depictions of people having sex with animals ("bestiality")

I spent the last day or so improving the filtering solution, so there should be nothing "inappropriate" left. It's not *that* bad - it cuts out about 30k of the 150k currently active galleries. But still, not insignificant.

Note that if you come across the New Breed of forbidden content, don't expunge or report it, simply tag it with the corresponding content. The system will take it from there.

And if you want to piss and moan about this, don't, at least not to me. I don't need it, and it won't help the current situation.

Now if you'll all excuse me, some time ago I bred a shark with a trampoline, and I've been keeping it in my basement for just this occasion.

Edit: Note that none of our *current* advertisers were involved with this. So don't bother them.
