I also notice that BB no longer has the Suicide Girls ad running, either. Not sure when they stopped that, but it could be related.

I repeat, Smartfilter is stupid. Re: Goatse. This is exactly the sort of stuff that SHOULDN'T get a site banned. Nobody walking by my computer is going to be offended by the goatse-related images--they're completely benign. Adam–I can access WFMU’s popular blog, which is WAY smuttier than BoingBoing.

First of all, it cuts down on my at-work browsing, and (unless my internet connection at home is being wack, like this weekend) I can go through BoingBoing at night in about 10 minutes. Having more than 2 click-throughs in a day is rare. Second, it's not like BoingBoing doesn't occasionally feature nudity (especially from Xeni), or prominently feature advertisements for Suicide Girls, or have a pathetic, unhealthy obsession with Goatse.
