henso opened a topic that needs a solution: should antville.org allow private weblogs? since the current way (let them exist, but list them in the recent-update-list on antville.org's frontpage so that we get a clue about their "activity") is not what i would call a "solution", we have to find a new one.

regarding antville.org's policy, i'd propose private weblogs should not be allowed anymore (because nobody of us - meaning the maintainers of antville.org - has the time/nerve to observe them, and the current version of antville is also not helpful at all in this case).

so, the question is: should the application antville keep the feature or not? the simplest way would be to remove the "private weblog"-feature in antville(-code) and delete all currently existing private weblogs (they'll have to find a new home).

or should we implement a "feature switch" in antville, so that it would be up to the maintainers of antville-installations if private weblogs are allowed or not - much like "allowGoodies" works now (in case of antville.org, it would be disabled).
