As the subject asks, going forward will we now have to be logged in to view the "Exploitation and Smut" section? And if so, is it because, you know...smut?!

Hmm...you're right. Didn't even notice as I almost always login when I visit the site.

Why is the nice stuff always being hidden away.

It's good, like when you had to hide your porn from your parents. Plus, why should lurkers get the good shit? More deviants should sign up and join the discussion.

Yep, members only now. There isn't anything super explicit in there but I did it for 2 reasons.

1 - safer for the site, when it was completely unrestricted anyone of any age could access it, which could lead to problems.

2 - like Agent said, why should lurkers get all the good stuff?

Not a problem. Makes sense. I don't sign in all the time, especially when I just want to read others' postings (that's why I don't post a lot myself). It's not a big deal that I'll have to log in in order to catch up on some the threads in that section. Most of the stuff in there is not of particular interest to me, but the AFGA/Something Weird Video and Vinegar Syndrome threads oftentimes feature news of releases decidedly not in the "smut" genre. Yet, again, I don't mind having to sign in to read about those. Thanks for the response, Ian, it's appreciated...
