Oh, yeah, I remember adultfanfiction.net--is it still around? Haven't seen any links posted to stories there in years. I've never read anything posted there, because I have enough logins to manage for the archives I actually have fic posted, it was just an extra hassle I didn't need to get a login to a place I don't have fic of my own. At least, I think that's why--like I said, it's been a while. (Then again, I never read anything at the Pit of Voles unless it is specifically recced to me, and not even always then, so I suppose fic being moved from fanfiction.net to adultfanfiction.net doesn't affect whether or not I am likely to read it. (There's more fanfic than I have time to keep up with at AO3 most of the time, and I love using their tags to find whatever trope I am craving.)
But the Pit of Voles--yes, it is their right to set whatever rules they want to on their archive. Yes, it is their right to enforce those rules however they want. But setting a rule, not enforcing it for ten years, and then deleting huge numbers of fics without even a warning first, that is kind of a dick way to go about doing it. Particularly those fics that were deleted not because the story was explicit, but because the summary was not G. I mean, the fact that they don't have Exlicit as an option said loud and clear they didn't want explicit fics there (which to me would be a warning), but there's nothing that says the fic summaries have to be clean enough to read to a toddler (which seems to be the criteria they're using).
