Have Guest Author arcs been removed from AE?

speculation is they were removed due to the problems with the copyright/profanity filters
it was prolly an all/nothing type of deal, one broke so all were removed till it was fixed
Stuff has a tendency of vanishing after having a little bit of support. Anyone else remember the in-game ads that used to be on the sides of the bus station benches and the like?

More likely scenario: They were pulled because NCSoft now intends to charge you Paragon Points for them as "premium content."
They'll be back...for a small fee.
Coming up next: AE licensed content features. Want to populate your map with walrus-tusked cherubs? Well now you can for the low, low price of......?
Considering the current state of the AE system they'd have to be pretty dim bulbs to try any such thing.

Given how the way things work in AE change all the time, wouldn't they also need to be seen to regularly to assure they work as intended? (The guest author clearly wont do that, so the devs would have to invest time and, if something broke, change something the author put their name under?)
Maybe they are a feature that was not built to last.
I hope not, as I really enjoyed a number of them.
I haven't seen them in a while, and I am wondering if they were removed manually or if they were a limited time feature and have expired.
