I remember they blocked posts from the Lounge. They changed it a year or so later due to popular demand. The Photography Group had to ask permission to post the photo contests in GD so the contests could make it to the GP. I’m not concerned about the wider world knowing my business on this anonymous site, but some members - even some longtime members - can be pretty mean, petty, and dismissive. That’s what I’d like to avoid.
