Holy Balls! I have just read about this. Not cool Google! Not cool! I just started getting back into the swing of things with my blog after a 6 month hiatus due to being a silly bear and now they go and pull this poop out the bag. I'm really hoping my blog will not be affected as it is not monetised although I was planning on becoming a LH affiliate and putting some adverts up, glad I didn't now! I was going to move off blogger soon anyway but this has made me a little anxious and annoyed because now it seems I have little choice if I actually want to make money from it. Silly Google I hope you have a very wet series of farts until my blogger has been moved to its new home!

Lou I would probably recommend clearing your cache. I am not good with computers either to be honest but if you can access the site on one, but not the other, I reckon its something to do with my old site info stored in your cache or something technical that I don't quite understand lol
Still working on it myself. Thanks for letting me know Despina! Helps to know that all is (kinda) working okay so far.
Going to try figure out whats going on. I am sure it has something to do with redirecting the pages. I am pretty sure I may have done something slightly wrong to cause quite a few people issues.
I'm back on the site! :) I cleared the cache as you suggested but it was still a couple of hours before i was able to get on so don't know if that was the cause or not.
Thanks for your help Fluffbags :-)
No worries. This happened to a few people and I still don't know exactly why but I am just glad it is sorted. I just posted a giveaway for over £100 worth of toys today. I was worried no one was gunna see it! (I know, shameless plug but it's freebies! :D )
I am trying to help some blogger peeps move over to WP after this news hit yesterday. I am not good with this kind of stuff but we managed it (Even if it took a while) If anyone needs help, my email is in my profile. I will try my best to point you in the right directions where I can. Hope you guys all move successfully. xx
Lola: LOL! I hope Google do too :D

Sorry but that made me laugh
I have to admit to giving up with the transfer to selfhosting and using wordpress, I paid the lovely and talented @DomSigns to do it for me :)

BUMP :)
Here's a small article on it here: http://www.erotictradeonly.com/google-threatens-adult-blogger-plug-pull/
I've switched to self-hosting now www.alisaddiction.com
AA it hasn't been made clear but Google have a reputation for acting then asking questions, as far as I can make out it would include any affiliate links to adult retailers. However they are tightening up on all adult material so it is safer to back up your blogg just in case
xGGx
If I was still on Blogger, I would be moving right about now. GG is right, its better to be safe than sorry as I have also heard they have a rep for deleting first, asking questions later. I also assumed it included affiliate links to adult retailers.
We are just minutes away from the end of an era, a change in regime, a whole new world or possibly a massive anti-climax. I have not moved my blog yet because I love waiting until the last minute, then umming and arring for about 50 seconds before my big dramatic 8 hour comatosed pause and then if it was comfortable to sleep on I will look at the fallout from it with some nice chocolate cereal in the morning hehe!
I doubt they would delete content, probably just set it to private so nobody could see it and give you time to move it. Plus I have had no e-mail warning me about it. So I really hope that not much is going to change and I can move in my own time and not feel pressured by Giggle and their wonderful stealthy policy changes (double thumbs up!). It would have been nice if they had sent every Blogger one of 2 e-mails, "The policies are changing but your blog will not be affected, here are the changes though in case you were about to change your blog" or "Goodbye and don't come back again, please leave with all your kinky friends" depending on how you would be affected. Ah well.
In a few hours time we shall see whether I still prefer Google to Yahoo. All I know is that they will both remain safely above Bing, hehe!
bumping because today wordpress have started to also delete adult bloggs for violating TOS
This is for blogs which are hosted on wordpress not for self hosted ones using wordpress as software
xGGx
This is the bit they are using
- the Content is not pornographic, does not contain threats or incite violence, and does not violate the privacy or publicity rights of any third party;
mine is still up on blogger but wordpress have bbeen pulling bloggs today
