For the protection of the site, this was a good move. Whether or not you agree that stories involving children are right or wrong, having them on this site presented a clear and present danger to all of us. I am not a fan of those stories for many reasons, but I would just choose not to read them. However, by having them available I think made the site liable to the powers that be in the current political climate.

If the anti-obscenity issue spreads to our world of BDSM between adults, i think it would be important for all of us to stand up and do something about it. Whether its donating money to the EFF or other first amendment law groups, writing politicians at the local and federal level, or in some way fighting back. I do not believe the government is going after BDSM in general, but rather the underage type of porn. While scat pictures and videos have almost always run afoul ofthe obscenity laws, I am not sure whether or not the Feds would go after a story site (and by that I mean one that is strictly stories and not picture trading as was apparently the case in Red Rose).
