Hey everyone,
So, I know the tradition on this site and its past incarnations has been that we're open about sexual content and allow you to write it in your posts.
However, I personally had no idea this was against ProBoards' TOS until they PM'd me today. Therefore, I've taken down all threads with a mature rating that could not be edited easily for content. If I took down one of your threads, I have it saved to my hard drive if you'd like me to email it to you.
Thus, our first action after removing the mature content is to BAN mature content. No sex scenes. No anything dodgy. If you don't want your little 10 year old sister to see it, don't post it.
That being said, I think that our collective attitude toward the topic of sexuality in storytelling was part of what makes the site great and enriches the subject matter (well, usually.) I don't want to have a Freedamned/Past the Ashes/Whatever without that part of our creative process. Therefore, I will be looking into another place for us to host our site. If anyone already knows of a free forum-hosting site that is mature-content friendly, please let me know!
I'll keep you updated as best I can, guys.
Much love,
Feafea
