These are some issues people seem to have with Flesh Asia Daily. Or at least occasionally. So to help in solving the confusion of readers new and old, here’s the quickly written Support and FAQ page.
1. Missing pictures, can’t see the pics, pics are missing, dammit, where are the cameltoe, nipple slip, bikini pics you said in the blog post’s title?
My answer: That’s really a tricky thing. Some readers fixed that problem by reducing the security settings of their browser. There are also cases when readers finally were able to see the pics after disabling Norton Internet Security. Or maybe your firewall. If you have no idea what really is happening that you can’t see the pics, the best solution I have for the meantime is subscribe to my feed so you can just view the latest updates on your feed reader. Google’s free feed reader is highly recommended.
[Update as of Sept. 29, 2008: You might also wanna check your browser's plugin. For example, at least one reader, "AJ", found that the Piclens Firefox plugin was causing the "missing pictures."]
Meanwhile, just to be sure, here are some more suggestions:
Antivirus: use Trend Micro’s Pc-cillin or AVG; they’re good. You can find free “cracked” torrent copies of them.
Spyware/adware: Some readers have reported they encountered some “Spyware alert” whenever they visit Flesh Asia Daily. So to make sure you’re safe, use anti-spyware software like SpyBot Search and Destroy and SpywareBlaster, which are free anyway.
Firewall: In my experience, you don’t really need any other stand-alone firewall software. Windows’ built-in firewall will do. Turn it on, and remove any other firewall you’ve installed to avoid system conflict.
2. What do you mean by “After the jump?”
My answer: The term “after the jump” is an annoying, wordy, completely unnecessary phrase used by bloggers to confuse the crap out of innocent blog readers. But it simply means that the complete post isn’t displayed on the main page, and the rest of the blog post (including the juicy pics) can be reached by clicking the “Read more…” or “Continue reading…” link at the end. If you’re not seeing any pic after you’ve clicked Read more, please refer to Issue # 1 above.
3. What are these annoying “Error 503 “Service Temporarily Unavailable” messages? Why does your blog sometimes take so long to show the pics?
My nice answer: If you encounter the occasional Error 503 “Service Temporarily Unavailable”Flesh Asia Daily messages, the reason is that at certain times of the day receives a huge load of traffic and page views. Don’t worry: Error 503 messages last only from 60 seconds to 3 minutes, so just wait a while and refresh the page on your browser. Unless somebody gives me a boatload of money for a pricey Verio dedicated web hosting, you would have to live with that for the mean time. Patience is a virtue.
[Update: Since FAD's migration to an expensive Dedicated Server, you're not supposed to encounter these "Error 503" messages. Yay!
4. Your blog's advertisements are turning my balls into angry, trembling prunes. Can you do something about them, like, totally remove them and replace them with pictures of Jesus Christ? Or Nora Aunor?
My nice answer: Sorry, folks, the advertisements that even I myself find annoying are part of my pact with El Diablo -- I have to keep the ads to pay my elves and to bribe some people so they won't knock on my house with a lead pipe and the willingness/enthusiasm to experiment on my ass. Thank you for caring about me.
5. Each time I visit your blog, my antivirus software detects a trojan/spyware/a virus that looks uncannily like Madam Auring wearing a carrot suit and trying to fuck me up. What gives?
My nice answer: I've already fixed that as of May 5, 2008, so there shouldn't be anything dirty like that anymore. If you're still seeing trojan/spyware/Madam Auring, please stop drinking alcohol or shoot crack cocaine, will you? And drink Yakult everyday.
Okay, this is how pop-up ads work: it's not perfect. Sometimes, some naughty advertisers thru Clicksor manage to "insert" some malware into the pop-up ads distributed by Clicksor. If you encounter a malware or virus warning when you visit this site, report it to us by taking a screenshot of the pop-up ad along with the virus warning, email the screenshot to me (mike_chanco@yahoo.com), then we report it to Clicksor to have that advertiser banned.
But that is too much hassle, right?
So here's an even better option: you can get rid of all the ads (and any potential malware/virus danger) by making a very small donation through Gcash (see Item # 6 below).
6. We love Flesh Asia Daily! How do we express our support and keep the hotness running without having to spend a single cent?
My nice answer: I knew you'd ask that. But while I don't like asking for donations, I am shameless about asking FAD's supporters to join some affiliates of this blog. That way, we both win. Here's the best run-down so far:
In light of recent developments and the increasing cost of keeping this site online, I've begun asking for a small almost laughable Php200 through Gcash (Gcash for Philippines only) in exchange for the privilege of reading FAD without the ads and pop-ups. This is also win-win: you get to enjoy a better, faster, safer uncluttered FAD experience, while you also help me pay this blog's rising server bills.
7. Is Flesh Asia Daily really a blog festering with [as of July 18, 2008] 2,200 blog posts filled with stolen pictures?
Answer: It is never my intention to “steal” other people’s work. As I always say, this whole blog is for entertainment purposes only. It is built upon the kindness and willingness of so many dudes out there who know what they love and are unafraid to participate. A great majority of the images you see on this blog are submitted or emailed by pseudonymous contributors [or contributors who don't use their real names], but I post the images anyway expecting that the photos’ owners will find them. That’s why I actually prefer images with watermarks on them so that the watermark can “speak for itself” regarding the image’s source. That way, the owners who eventually stumble upon the blog will recognize their work and notify me about it. The owner, at this point, has three choices:
- they can ask me to link to their blog/website/Flickr/Multiply, etc., in exchange for their photos’ appearance on the blog;
- they can ask me to remove the images;
- or they can ask me to go check if my penis can reach my asshole, and if it’s possible for me to actually fuck myself.
Usually, the most productive choice is the first one — it is what we call a win-win solution: FAD’s readers are happy that the pics remain on the site, and the owner of the images gain some exposure [ and thousands of new friends!] when FAD links to them.
8. What exactly is “link love”?
Answer: “Link love” is a term I cleverly coined just a minute ago while scratching my balls, and it simply means giving back to the people who make FAD quite an exciting and fun place. It means I link back to the owner of the images if they have a website, and I also link back to the sender/tipster if they, too, have a website. In fact, I’m so generous in linking back and I don’t give a fuck about Google Page Rank and all that corny shit that people call me the Buddha Of Linking Back, or the Go-get-shit-done Link Back Person.
9. How can we use Flesh Asia Daily to further our interests?
Answer: If by “interests” you mean something that involves hot Asian chicks, then you can use FAD as a means of free promotion. If you’re a budding photographer who usually takes pictures of hot celebrities, or a talent manager with a stable of up-and-rising female models we can ogle, or if you’re a girl who looks somehow “hot”, feel free to email the requisite pics and some personal info to [mike_chanco@yahoo.com] so I can include you or your photos in any upcoming blog post.
10. Why should we care about Flesh Asia Daily regarding free promotion? Do you even matter?
Answer: You should care because FAD has a fast-growing base of smart, articulate, financially stable mostly male readers, and they are all good-lookin’ pussy magnets. Of course I don’t have a Nielsen-based survey to back that demographics up, but that’s coming soon. To illustrate, last month [June 2008], the blog received an average of 8,000 uniques and 45,000 page views daily. This month [July 2008], FAD averaged 10,000 uniques and 55,000 page views. I figure the best, nicest, and fairest way to use such numbers is to give people a free means of promotion — so photographers, aspiring models, talent managers, you know what to do. Photographers, in particular, are encouraged to watermark their photos just for your own peace of mind.
11. Why am I seeing old FAD blog posts?
Answer: you might be reading cached pages. Read this full explanation and ways on how to get around it.
12. Sometimes, even when I’m already signed in (those who have made a donation have this privilege), I still encounter a page with advertisements. Why the hell is that?
Answer: That’s a rare effect of caching. When you encounter such an ad-riddled page, DON’T click on any link to avoid triggering the pop-up ads. FIRST, press CTRL + F5, after which the page will refresh and the ads should vanish like magic. THEN you can happily click away.
13. I usually encounter “Error establishing a database connection.” I don’t know what a “database” is, and why “connecting to it” should affect my life, but I only want to see more sexy celebrity pictures. Why does it happen and can you make it go away?
Answer: Here’s why that happens: FAD’s pages are being served by invisible cute kittens. When you browse the blog, a cute kitten in my house runs back and forth from my house to your computer machine so fast you don’t see it. Sometimes, when so many are browsing the blog, one of these cute kittens dies from exhaustion!!!
So when you’re clicking on the picture of that naked jailbait, and you see “Error establishing a database connection,” remember that a kitten just died.
Okay, seriously, this error message appears when so many people are accessing FAD’s pages all at the same time. It also appears whenever I delete the blog’s cached files, which I do about two or three times a day (on weekdays), and once or twice (on weekends, when I’m actually at home). It’s nothing serious: you just have to wait a few minutes then hit Refresh.
If you have any more concerns that I forgot to mention in this Support page, contact us.
