Four Sites "Banned" from Network.

Hello Everyone,

This evening I was shocked to learn that this site was "Banned" from the "Network" Presumably that was Bellsouth.net, which is my ISP. The notice appeared on a page that had the logos of OPEN-DNS. It stated the blockage was due to Big Closet being classified as having nudity, pornography and sexually explicit material. If they are so open, why are they doing this?

Access Blocked

Hello Everyone,
This morning I was shocked to learn that I was blocked from accessing this site, as well as Fictionmania, Crystal's Story Site and Sapphire's Place. The notice I was shown stated that bigclosetr.us was banned from this network because it had been classified as having nudity, pornography and sexually explicit material.
Excuse me, but I missed the announcement that the first amendment had been repealed!
Has anyone else experienced this? Is readership down because of it?

Voting Box Question

Has anyone else noticed a change in the way the voting box operates. Until recently, if I had not yet logged in, the box would say "Login" (or "Voted" if I had previously done so). Clicking on "Login" never worked because it took me off to an error message page, but I could get to the login place and back to vote quite easily.
