The Writer's Block hidden when logged out

Hey Guys,

As far as I can see, The Writer's Block subforum is only viewable if you are logged in. Not sure if this is deliberate, but all the other on-topic forums remain visable even when logged out.

    Discuss literature, and post original works. No fanfiction. This forum requires a forum account to view.

    My understanding is that it's so search engines can't crawl it.

    When I was a mod there, we had problems with blogs mirroring content from critiques without permission.

    @Athenor is correct. It's absolutely nothing to do with stealing content though.

    And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

    Yeah, between content mirrors, ridiculous search engine indexing, and other problems with stuff being too visible to the outside world, we asked ElJeffe if he could take it up the ladder and secure the subforum to members only. It definitely helps shield some stuff from public access.
