Seeing a lot of non-CWed porn right now, assuming its from newcomers, just like, please CW that stuff? I think the CW system is an ideal compromise on the whole porn question, it just needs a little bit of buy in from users.

I'd love to get involved in the new directory/popularity rank drama, but after the bofa and Lauralei drama, I'm a bit drama-ed out until at least New Years.

After a lot of work, I submitted a final report that was 69 pages. Nice.
