Just FYI, for the curious, I removed the “moral corruption” thread from the Pit for several reasons:  
If someone wants to use the Dope to collect anecdotes for publication they need to at least _ask us first_. We aren’t here to supply a ready-made herd of guinea pigs. We get to pick and choose which, if any, spin-off uses are made of the SDMB.  
The thread also spawned some links that violated the work safety rule.  
The SDMB isn’t here to further anyone’s outside activities, and that includes fluffing up a sex site.  
Do whatever pops your corn but not in our kitchen.
