There are times I wish life wasn’t as hectic as it is, so I’d actually get the news out on time, but it really is better to be busy than bored… At least in my opinion! There isn’t much going on this month, just a couple things to review, and a bit of an editorial from me.

Well, here goes nothing! If you are cozily snuggled in with your new profile reading this, then you can ignore this part of the news, as you are probably tired of reading about it. If you are reading on the main page of the site, getting ready to toss your computer at the nearest wall because you can’t log in, then perhaps you should keep reading!
If you have not tried to log in since February, then you may have noticed the site looks a little different. That is cause the entire thing is getting a facelift, some lipo, bone stretching, that sorta thing! So what does that mean? That means you need to take a couple steps so that you can access everything correctly. We’ve laid out some very simple, easy to understand instructions. If you follow these to the letter, step by step, 99 times out of 100 it will work. The other 1 time, you’ll need admin to fix something.
Step One: Clear your cookies (Please note, AFF only supports bulimia for your browser, please do not try this on your own body)
Step Two: Validate your account. (There are multiple steps, so perhaps print them out so you can have them right next to you as you do it.)
Unless your account no longer exists (atrophy can be a bitch), you have multiple accounts (Cloning needs to stay in the sci-fi section please), or your email address you first used no longer exists (Wait, you really don’t want to use that LuvNSyncBSB4EVA account anymore?) then you should be back into your account.
If Step One and Step Two have destroyed your house completely and Mother is almost home… Wait, that’s Thing One and Thing Two, sorry… If Step One and Step Two haven’t worked for you, then please contact us via the forums or email and explain in detail what you’ve done so that we can best assist you. “I can’t log in!” doesn’t get the house straight before Mother comes home.
That being said, for those of you that have already played along at home and are in – Thanks for reading the directions and have fun as more new stuff rolls out!
Right now, we are just completing some back end admin upgrades that we will need to properly moderate the site once the next portion goes live. After that, we’ll start releasing features for you guys to play with again. Upgraded search features, better chapter/story navigation, improved story submission, etc etc!
A huge shout out to those that have donated, we really appreciate it! As always, donations are appreciated, as the site is free to use and we live off donations and our advertisers! We currently have $563.50 in our PayPal with May’s hosting costs paid. Information on how to increase our war chest can be found here.
We’re still puttering along with moderating the archive, and as always our monthly report is available for your perusal!
Thank you for sticking with me and my ramblings! See ya around the site or when we meet again next month!

Shadowchsr - Actually, if you read the changes that we are looking to do with the code re-write, being able to do it with the click of a button is part of the last phase when we break completely with the code. Right now in the middle it's not possible because the stories are on the old code and the profiles are on the new. Once the two are the same alot more things are on the way.

Beth, they've covered it all - My prayers are with you!

Akuma - Please make sure you review the news updates we have posted as this has been addressed not only in the News, but also in the suggestions forum before.

Actually, the email that we provided is valid as that is the email address from which we received her rather whiney email about being disciplined for violating our ToS, so if you aren't getting a response then she is probably off sulking. If you are getting a error, then she must have deleted it and we have no further contact information for her.
As the owner, I can emphatically state that while I understand that many users would like her to return, we will not be contacting her to ask, even on behalf of users, to return. She violated our ToS with complete disregard for the possible legal consequences I could face by being on the site underage - While it may seem prideful, I refuse to send that type of email to someone who apparently couldn't care less if I paid huge legal fees, ended up with a criminal record, or even in jail.

No, we wouldn't have. We've had many instances where an Author has gotten permission from the original Author to use story content, world or characters. We record said permission and keep it on file in case it's report. We contacted the original Author who confirmed that there was no permissions given for her to use the content. At this point unfortunately, even if she were to do so, she is not allowed back on site as a plagiarism ban is a permanent one.

I'm trying to clean up a sound file, I have soundforge but when I use the tools it cuts out bits of the real audio too...
-
I'm closing this topic because at this point, it's not going anywhere productive, I've explained and DemonGoddess left another much more blunt response that I've decided to show in the topic. Anything further is argumentative and simply trying to create further drama. Any further questions if the above responses are still lacking clarity, you are welcome to email admin@adult-fanfiction.org

First off, she is not banned from the site. This is not the 1st time she's done it, she's done it on multiple occasions, it just so happened this account came up in our sweep and she was recognized as having signed up as a minor. Not that I have to explain myself to any of you, but she had multiple accounts and was deleted on the following dates. Please note she was born in 1993 by her own admission.

Secondly, just because you are no longer a minor doesn't mean that the offense didn't occur. Think about it, you can be prosecuted for most crimes many years after they were committed. Having her registered with a date prior to her 18th birthday means that however tacitly, we approve of underage users on the site, which we DO NOT!
She violated the TOS multiple times as you can see above, she put me and the ENTIRE site in danger with each account she created and each time she clicked "I'm 18 years of age or older." Do you really think that that doesn't deserve consequences? Because I assure you it does.
We have two ways of handling this - If it was during the time where the staff I left in place dropped the ball, we delete all pre-18 content and adjust the registration date. If it was once DemonGoddess and the current staff took over and started to actually moderate the site then the whole account is wiped. We now have the means to check daily registration since the latest upgrade so I assure you this will be a less and less common event. Eventually children will understand that they will be caught and will not be tolerated. If you cannot support the fact that I want this site to stay open and available, even for drama mongers like yourself, then you are more than welcome to find another Archive that is much more restrictive than I am.
I will state again, she is welcome back to the site at any point now that she is of legal age and can repost her content so long as she follows our ToS.

You did receive answers above - She joined the website when she was 16 years old! Apparently, she decided all of my lovely warnings that you must be 18 years old to enter the site went in one ear and out the other.
If you join my site before you are legally allowed to, depending on your registration date and current age you will either lose any work you posted prior to your 18th birthday or your entire account. It's very simple. She decided that the rules didn't apply to her, so we applied them for her.

Yes. BDSM is a willing partner, sociopaths do it with out regard to will.

I get you hun - Prayers and hugs!

I can't even put into words how my heart is breaking for you Melrick. Let DG and I know if there is anything we can do to help or if you need some time away. Either way I understand and am sending you virtual hugs from afar. You and your family will be in my thoughts!

Please make sure you are following all appropriate steps as outlined in the links at the top of each forum page - ie, clearing cookies etc.

Welcome to the forums Evilpyecat - I do appreciate you putting me at risk for going to jail for your actions prior to turning 18, however wish you the best of luck in your writing endeavors! I do so hope that perhaps with age has come wisdom and you will follow the rules going forward!

It most likely is due to something in the HTML coding of the document causing issues. In the future might I suggest the copy paste function from Word.

Selonianth - Might I recommend reading the following news posts:
http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/19504-site-news-1-22-11/
http://www2.adult-fanfiction.org/forum/index.php/topic/28524-happy-new-year/
There are other suggestion topics on the same subject I could refer you to as well.
I understand it's what people would like to see, as I've outlined in numerous posts in the past. If after reading those posts, you still have questions about why it's not there yet, please feel free to ask.

Rogue was simply pointing out that the policy was not hidden from you and that it was clearly stated.
As for our reasons, there is a huge difference between a published piece of work and something on the internet. Yes, you can pass around a paperbook as often as you'd like. Electronic formats are different. Kindle books, for example, you can only lend for two weeks. Certain Nook books you can't lend at all. Author's are taking back their rights to their fiction in that manner already. A printed work cannot be recalled or removed from the world, something on the internet you can.
When it comes to fan fiction, first off, our ToS prohibits the download or copying of fiction from the site with out the author's permission: "You agree as a user of AFF that you will not download or copy any of the content within without the express permission of the original user to post the content." Secondly, Fan Fiction isn't like a published work, it hasn't been through a rigorous editing process to ensure it's error free - Often a user will remove it because they are ashamed of the quality or no longer want to be associated with the world of erotic fiction - Either way, we respect that they do not want it out there any longer and do not allow our users to pass on someone elses work for that reason.
I apologize that you don't agree with our decision to respect an author's right to their own creative work, to either post it or remove it ... And yes, they do have that right as it is their creation.

Okay - That error message is actually a forum error message - Please note that forum log in and archive log in are separate. I do see a log in for you here in the forum (possibly 2, the emails are the same minus one number), please make sure you are using the correct information for the forum vs the archive and if you are still unable to log in, please email tech support as mentioned above.
