I'm back, by the way. They fixed the problem I brought my computer in for but they didn't fix it so I had access to my slave drive again. Guess they forgot that part. Oh, well... At least they did it for cheaper than they told me it would be.

I got a problem. I am a VampFangs affiliate and it helps to defray the cost of operating sanguinarius.org, especially on my limited income! But from time to time, I see comments which indicate it has a negative impact on the credibility of sanguinarius.org and real vampires. What do I do?

Example: "EDIT: The fact that the aforementioned sanguinarius.org website (the "foremost real vampire information & resource site on the 'Net") has an ad on their gateway page for fake vampire fangs (vampfangs.net) sums up reality nicely. ^_^ Clearly, they don't believe their own fantasy, but they're not above peddling it to those that do."

Skogstroll summed it up: "which is better, more credibility or no website?"

Should I take the Vampfangs thing off my page and try to find some other source of income, or leave it on and lose credibility?

But, it has opened the closed minds of some in the past...

Hypothetical comment: comment "Before I read your site, I didn't believe in real vampires and thought everybody claiming that was just delusional kids or posers. But your site really opened my eyes."

I'm turning people like that off, it seems...
