It's because we're a children's forum with a very low median age, and we can't control the content on other websites. We're not interested in worrying about other fansites, if you want to find them, you will. We're not interested in trying to choke them out or anything like that. It's because we cannot control the safety of other sites, and we're not going to risk someone posting links with inappropriate content everywhere.
