Making Metamor City a private site

Hi all!

I've decided to make the Metamor City wiki a private site. Since I've discovered that Google is caching pages from this website, it occurred to me that a person who is looking for the podcast might accidentally get spoiled on critical plot points just by doing a Google search. There are some major events coming up in the remaining nine chapters of Making the Cut that I really don't want the listeners to find out about ahead of time, so restricting access to the site seems to be the most logical way to prevent it.

Does Wikidot allow you to restrict some of the pages in a wiki, or is it an all-or-nothing deal? Seems a pity to conceal everything from onlookers, regardless of whether or not the stuff being concealed is a spoiler…

As far as I have been able to determine it's an all-or-nothing deal. I'm okay with that because Metamor City has a public face now in the form of the podcast, so anything that people need to know for the enjoyment of the stories can be found there. I like the idea of keeping this site as a "safe space" for Metamor City writers to post whatever they need to, without worrying about what they might be giving away. It's not like it's hard to get an invitation; mostly, people just have to ask. :) But when I saw that Google searches for Metamor City were turning up pages on this wiki, including serious spoiler content, I knew I had to do something drastic.
