The other thing I've found is that the ratings are often misleading. In that, they're not a true reflection of the readability and/or quality of the story.

That's not the point here. The POINT is, we don't allow this because you're being DISRESPECTFUL to our users. If you really want to have a copy of something someone has written, you should ASK 'em for it.

full text searching would put a huge strain on the db itself, no matter if we did it with the current search engine, or with Sphinx search. The database is currently 7.9GB, with the BULK of that storage being chapter data. This is why it can't be implemented. If this was all html pages, rather than scripted content, sure, we could use Google search to do exactly what you say. However, since the content is database driven, and to get the input requires form use to begin with (invisible, but still a form of a kind), Google search CAN'T index that. The crawler has to be able to LINK to specific pages (static pages) to crawl. If what you're really wanting is for us to eliminate that page itself, sorry, no can do at this point.

Archive profile You'll notice it links to our newest Hall of Shame entry...

Yep, that's still plagiarism, people. Authors remove stories from sites ALL THE TIME. Because an author has removed a story, does NOT give someone else the right to repost. Original story- Unauthorized duplicate. I cannot stress enough that credited or not, this is STILL plagiarism. 'nuff said.

Category added here. You'll want to look in the FAQ section for how-to's. Just be sure you're in the books subdomain (when in the user cp, select books from the jump menu located at the left and click go), before you go to add your story.

Tigro, There is no need to be combative. This thing you're asking for is not going to happen.

There is a category in the forum for requesting these. Please read the pinned topics, then post your category request.

Again, the problem is that certain characters are actually things used to make function calls, or to nest function calls. You'll find that most applications do not accept certain characters in user names and what not for that reason.

Not that I'm aware of, no

Touli says in her profile to contact this author

you mean "+" this? That's because php uses that as a function call, so we really can't.

In reference to your other post, UNLESS you've gotten permission from this author to continue the story on his or her behalf, that will not be allowed to happen here.

poor you

it's that time of year....

banned and posts deleted

Rules??? We have RULES???? Yeah I know, very frustrating that a simple 2 minute read would prevent much in the way of this, yes?

...and it's gone..

It's helpful if the forum and archive are registered for, with the same email, as that's one of the ways we verify whether or not a user is in the archive in the first place. Plus addressing is fine, as those aren't disposable. Disposable are things like addresses from mailinator.com, or other services like that. Those are not intended to be checked. Those are used as a catchall for where you don't wish to receive email.

don't feel stupid. Questions are a good thing.

Yeah, if my bank balance was like my points balance, I'd be livin' large!
