So what was Yahoo's explanation for shutting these groups down? Lord knows I've seen many groups on Yahoo that are MUCH more risque and obnoxious than these 2.

After the group disappeared I at first thought that perhaps Yahoo was having one of it's periodic problems in which access to the Groups area was down. This had happened a handful of times before in the six-year history of PAS. But then I discovered that the e-mail account (containing *years* worth of correspondance) was also gone. Repeated e-mails to Yahoo yielded no answer. Members even wrote and also received no answer or explanation. There was not even an automated response to say that the groups were deleted for some policy violation. Just silence. I'm not sure how closely that you followed PAS, if you followed it at all. But I kept the group very clean. Because the purpose of the group was to gather information about factual corporal punishment in American schools, there was no porn or sexual talk allowed. No pictures depicting nudity were allowed. In order to keep the group on-topic and going in the right direction, I didn't even allow personal ad and such. There were depictions, both photos and videos, of realistic paddling scenes. These were not gratuitous in any way, and were chosen because they gave a realistic presentation of what a paddling might actually be like in a real school. They were always identified as being recreations and not the real thing, and no copyright violations were made. In fact, both the videos and photos came from the commercial Real Spankings site, which had given me blanket permission to use any videos and photos that I wished to, and gave me a pass to their sites so that I would have access to them. The main video for PAS was even made by Real Spankings to depict a real paddling, and showed the process all the way from reporting to the office throuigh getting the paddling, to leaving again. It was nothing more than what would be seen in an actual school setting. So I have no answer and no clue. The only speculation that I can make is that someone there who had the power to do so just didn't like the site and killed it on political correctness grounds. Megan can both speak to the description that I gave of PAS above, and offer any words that she has on her own site's demise, which went down a few weeks or months later.

PAS & Fiery Fannies
As I recall, the two groups went down almost at the same time and possibly even on the same day. Fiery Fannies was discovered to have been deleted about 11:45 AM on April 19th, 2005.
RG is perfectly correct in stating PAS contained nothing objectionable. Indeed, a good deal of the material mirrored items that had appeared in the mainstream media. The pro-corporal punishment stance of PAS, however, is certainly what trampled upon the politically correct sensibilities of some Yahoo employee, and thus it, and FF as well, were destroyed with the push of a button.
