Unfortunately, like Tumblr and Youtube before it, Proboards (the host of this forum) has decided my work is too sexual for their liking. It comes as an especially harsh blow to me since this forum has been so essential to my personal life over the last three years. I've met a lot of friends, shared a lot of stories, hell, I started this podcast just to talk to the people here. And Proboards has never raised issue with the things I've done... until now.
Multiple of my old posts have been flagged as TOS violations, and it's been requested we remove them. Not doing so could mean the death of the forum altogether, and I don't want that, certainly not for something I've done. But at the same time, I refuse to be censored and refuse to be shamed for being a sexual person. It's a long story to explain why this is such a personal reaction for me, but the short version is that I've dealt with years of religious repression of my sexuality (to the point that, as a teen, I couldn't think about sex without hating myself for my sin), and I firmly refuse to be pushed down like that again. That's why I've cut ties with Tumblr and Youtube after they flagged me for being sexual, and why I'll be cutting ties with Proboards as well.
I'm not deleting everything, not even my account here. As much as can stay up will stay up. But future Shack Funk episodes will not be posted here. You can find them on Podbean, as always (I'll try to post the related links/ pics on there and respond to comments there) and cross-posted to Twitter and Discord as they release. For listener questions, I'll continue to check here but would prefer to get them on Twitter (just @jadethethief)
Thank you to everyone who's stuck with this dumb show for as long as you have.
TLDR: new SF episodes aren't here now, check Podbean.
