We know tonight will change things for some people here. The reality of mainstream publicity for this site is good...and bad.
For the owners, this is a boon. A lot more traffic means more advertising and banner dollars. More membership dollars. But, it will come with more scrutiny as well. Their interest is money, this is a business.
For the guys, it will increase awareness of what this is. If you leave breadcrumbs, your hobby interests will be recognized by more people. I know you feel protected by your hobby phone, but what about your tracks through the bandwidth of the internet? Anonymity is not creating a fake screen name.
For the gals, well, they have the most at stake. Showcase photos can pop up in TV media, as well as any photos posted in the ROS. HELL YEAH!
If those are seen under the wrong circumstances, I hope the girl has a damage control plan in place.
Odds are, nothing earth shattering will happen tonight, but this opens a door. The powers that be, politicians, do not like to be embarrassed publicly. With this site going into major media reports, and the network has been heavily previewing the story, I don't expect a shoulder shrug response.
