Status: offline 		Of necessity, we have needed to make the following changes to the forum at this time:

1. The art and photography forum has been removed for an indefinite amount of time.
2. The creative writing forum has been removed but may be restored if we are able to establish extensive moderation for all posts prior to being made visible on the forum.
3. Beyond those that are already being removed, additional avatars and attachments may be removed if found to be outside the bounds of what we are currently able to host on our servers.

Status: offline 		I think we all understand the position that CollarMe is in given the current political climate. I know I deeply appreciate the service you are providing and the concern you must be feeling at this point.

All of my best wishes.

Only if they are willing to move too. At least one of the raided companies had done just that but the authorities felt they could act because the company's principles were resident in the US

This country garauntees the right to freedom of speech and that of freedom of the press... yet they slip around like little pucilanimous worms to dagger such freedoms in the name of "decency", "morality", and other intrests screamed for by the religious bigots who put puppets in office.

The federal government is making a big push to prosecute people who have "indecent" pictures and stories on their website. CollarMe is making a rational effort to stay functional by complying with what seems to be the new standards.

I was hoping the law would be put on hiatus forever...guess it isn't going to happen

Good luck, I know it is a massive job ahead.

I am sorry if this is going to offend anyone, but does this not seem alot like the beginnings of Fascism? Is the State now to decide for us all what is and what is not wholesome viewing material? By whose standards will things be decided?

This will certainly lead to book-burnings, witch hunts, and basic moral McCarthyism if allowed to happen.

Yes, and collarme, like all Americans are being held with the swift sword of justice at its throat as a terroistic threat of Big Brother. What makes Me sickest of all is the fact that we all KNOW we are not alone in our love of sexual freedom. How many legislators and beaurocratic fat fucks coming down on us for what we do go home and do the same stuff and worse? I love My country, but My government is wrong, wrong, wrong.
