As we all may know by now, the Arashi fandom has been shaken recently by news of Ohno's scandal, whose details include rumours of marijuana usage and threesomes. But just as there are many people who wish to be updated on every single piece of news that come out about the topic, there are also people who might not want to know, who might even find the cluttering of their friends' list annoying and unnecessary, particularly if they get their news elsewhere, or if they just don't care.
I've seen this implemented in other communities before and it seems to work pretty well, so I'm going to give it a try here as well. From this point on, this will be the comprehensive post for anything related Ohno's scandal. If you have new things to add, please refrain from making another post and add them here in the form of comments instead. For fans to keep updated, you can either check back at your own leisure or track the comments to this entry. Any and all posts made about the scandal from here on will be deleted.

Again, please leave a comment here in this entry if there is anything new which you would like to add. This will hopefully cut down on the number of posts being made to the community and at the same time collect all the information into one place for your convenience; I will also add a link to the sidebar in a bit so it doesn't get lost amongst the new posts. Done.
Thank you for your cooperation!
