I have decided to close down subNATION. It had a good run and I am proud to say that it was one of the first of it's kind when I created the site in 1996. At that time there was very little real-life, factual information available online for those who found themselves being drawn to the submissive side of BDSM. However, times have changed and I am afraid that the current climate of intolerance and persecution by the FBI have forced me to reconsider whether or not to continue hosting and maintaining this site. While I am not worried about my own situation, I must be mindful of what affect any possible prosecution could have on other family members. For that reason I have decided to discontinue this site.
