TBH, I’d be overjoyed if I netted two reviews per 1,000 hits. Only one of my stories exceeds that ratio, because I had a serial reviewer post for the first half dozen chapters or so. Rest of the stories… the one with 16k hits has only three reviews.

Shoutbox was cool in that regard, few ever visit the Chatbox.

I had gotten smacked by the trolls. I’d post a chapter, lose a “+”. Post another chapter, lose a “+”, repeat. That became...very discouraging to an inexperienced writer. And I’m posting originals here!

We HAD ratings, but trolls kept spamming the down-vote button w/o reading the stories, which was demoralizing to some authors; and fanboys spamming the up-vote based on their one-true-ship desires. This made ratings useless for actually judging if the story was any good.

UTF-8 rocks, saying that as a coder. You can’t tell the difference when it’s English, pretty minimal overhead in the related European languages, and able to handle all the languages. Main drawback is if you’re dealing mostly in the asian languages, it’ll be a bit larger in file/data size than UTF-16.

YES!!! My internet works again, how blessed.
Now where do I pick up my medal for having to withstand an eight day outage?

And it turns out the local library’s free wifi blocks AFF (labels it as pornography). Ditto at work, so was considering getting a VPN to work around the blockage.

Yep, because we are an age-restricted site.

Not that I was particularly disagreeing, especially at work. Though we’re not the visual graphic image type, so it should be alright (IMO) to browse (quietly) in a library setting. (Obviously, a text-to-speech feature might not go over as well...) However, crisis was averted, so now I can be a pervert in my own damn house!
