What's next to be banned

Hey, I don't have any dogs in this fight, so to speak. I'm not a fan of cub porn or whatever. However, never have I seen only ONE thing get banned, anywhere. Just look at SL, DeviantArt, Tripod, and others. Heck, all you have to do is look at Apple and what can and can't be sold in the app store. They started out only making certain the products weren't crooked. Then they banned porn, followed by swimwear, cartoons and more.
So what Dragoneer needs to do is have the forums on a second site and second machine. And the payments all go to keep THAT running. As far as the payment services are concerned, the payments are for the forum, not the art site that has no pay data attached to it. Then the payment people won't see any art or stories at all... nothing but a forum for people to chat on. So they'll have no reason to refuse payments for whatever prudish issues strike their fancy that week.
Simple
Like I said, I don't care anything about cub porn. But it won't be but a few months before they demand something else be taken away. And that, yes, I have a problem with. I also have a problem with trying to subject fictional material to real laws. I suppose I'll be arrested for writing crime stories next?
