From SFWPorn Network:
"the root reason for IAmA going private is their inability to run their subreddit without admin assistance. how that is supposed to translate into admin opaqueness is beyond me. We like Victoria but we never dealt with her as a network."

just now /r/Anxiety NOT going down. /u/Hedgehogs4Me says: Although I'm not in charge of this particular issue, I don't believe we'd ever go as far as to go private - removing a useful tool for managing and discussing anxiety is a different issue altogether compared to removing something that is purely a source of entertainment. Whether or not there will be any discussion of changing the CSS, well, that remains to be seen. We do generally try to stay out of any sort of drama, though. /u/Braver_Incident
