This console command... if I activate it on a game I am hosting will it prohibit people on my hosted game from making portals?

Nah, the game is way too grindy and too unrewarding in order to justify such a time investment.

Why would I waste time sailing a mostly open sea or traveling through N instances of the same biome, each of which offers the same experience as the other one?

The map is way too big for the content it offers IMO

there's a great way to find out :)

good thread, I may just do this next game.

If you have the time, I encourage a play through sans portals.

This is how the game was meant to be played.

In my opinion, dropping a portal in the middle of a dense forest, filling up a few wood chests with wood and stone, then portal'ing home encumbered with 3000 pounds of materials cheapens the experience.

Playing without portals makes boats and carts more relevant. Your decision to gather wood or stone now carries the same considerations as Ore.

I've probably logged 200 hours or so playing this way and I absolutely love it.

I wish (and I hope) there will be options someday to create seeds with limitations on such things as portals and world hopping.

I really wish people would stop ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on other people's playstyles. If you like this, good for you. If other people like it differently, good for them.

If you want other people to play with you your way, TALK to them. Lording your server settings over others doesn't seem like a great way of starting a co-op experience to me.

All I'm doing folks is making a suggestion for people who enjoy the game enough to do another play through. I'm not trying to get portals removed from the game.

You could have made this point without insulting the alternative and people who use it. Kudos for editing your original post though.
