Adult content policy on Blogger

As if it wasn't difficult to keep the interest in our "hobby" going, I was told about this by JimmytheHand last night.

I have some options:
1.) Start requesting to be shared with now so I know how many of you there are.
2.) I move over to WordPress.
3.) I retire :(

Appreciate all your views on this.
A bit ironic as March would be the first anniversary of this blog. Might also be a good time to stop if nobody visits anymore as nobody can find it...

 ===================================================

Starting March 23, 2015, you won't be able to publicly share images and video that are sexually explicit or show graphic nudity on Blogger.
Note: We’ll still allow nudity if the content offers a substantial public benefit, for example in artistic, educational, documentary, or scientific contexts.

Changes you’ll see to your existing blogs

If your existing blog doesn’t have any sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video on it, you won’t notice any changes.
If your existing blog does have sexually explicit or graphic nude images or video, your blog will be made private after March 23, 2015. No content will be deleted, but private content can only be seen by the owner or admins of the blog and the people who the owner has shared the blog with.

Settings you can update for existing blogs

If your blog was created before March 23, 2015, and contains content that violates our new policy, you have a few options for changing your blog before the new policy starts:
If you’d rather take your blog down altogether, you can export your blog as a .xml file or archive your blog's text and images using Google Takeout.

Effect on new blogs

For any blogs created after March 23, 2015, we may remove the blog or take other action if it includes content that is sexually explicit or shows graphic nudity as explained in our content policy.

    Can you include a girl I know before it shuts down?

    To throw my opinion in on the options you listed, I'd personally hope for a migration to WordPress, if that was something you were willing to do. Given enough notice, everyone that comes here regularly will be able to follow you over and any newcomers should have no more trouble finding it than they did this one (particularly if you mention it on Yahoo Groups as you did when you started the blog).

    As you already know, I'm requesting to be shared with should that be the option you go down. :)

    I think a lot of erotic boards and blogs have come to blogspot as other sites have become more hostile environments (the high influx probably contributing to blogspot's clampdown now) so I imagine they'll be plenty of other people in the same boat.

    Whatever your decision, I'll support ya. If you decide on option 1, I would be in.
