running db utils, expect some slowdown for the next 5 minutes or so.

At this point, I am trying to avoid any future crashes. Until we get the new software up that's in development, I have to take measures which protect the database from problems. This is one of them. So, as I said, discuss all you want to in the forum. Not in long ANs, AN chapters, or review boards. If that continues, Friday will be a cakewalk compared to what I'll be dealing with with database problems. I really, really don't want that. The content guidelines are in ADDITION to the TOS. They do not supplant it.

As I said in news, here it is. Running db utilities, it takes approximately 5 minutes, so things may slow down as the utilities run through the tables you're in.

Like I said, as long as it "lives" in the same sub domain, the author is perfectly capable of moving it him or herself. You move it to where it best fits. Although at this point in originals, it's a crap shoot, to be honest. The thing is a right mess, and has been for a very long time. So, if you feel it belongs in original-misc for now, then that's where you should move it to. Once the clean up crew and I get to that subdomain, we'll be sorting and cataloging it all, and I'll be moving it all around according to what they found. But, that's a ways away yet. If after we've placed according to sort, the author always has the right and ability to move it to wherever they feel it best fits, regardless. Hope that makes sense for not only what you need short term, but also in the long term.

Hey, "Another Code" is also known as Trace Memory? And "Style Savvy" as Wagamama Fashion: Girls Mode? Just confirming on those two

To ensure that users know what is and is not allowable; this page has been added to the archive, and is accessible from all menus.

yes, the content not displaying was the problem I was referencing. The database suffered a minor crash, I got one of the hosting company techs to do a restore right away BEFORE I left for work this morning.

You'll notice there are some problems happening with the database at the moment. I will address this when I get home from work.

If you still need some help on 1999 music, here's a top 100 list

As recaptcha is used in both archive and forum, here is how you address the issue of the code box not displaying. First, check your browser settings. (Generally in Tools). Make sure that scripts are allowed. If it's not the browser, the second part to check would be your firewall. Be sure it is allowing the action from your browser.

sure is, if you're using the same email now as you were then, I can simply look it up and change it. I'm guessing you're also using the same pen name? The other option would be for you to post to your current, and I'll still change it. Either way, so long as I can get the information for the field.

heh. What makes this even sillier is I should've CAUGHT that. Anyway, fixed where it lives, and fixed the email address.

Archive profile So, here we go again with yet another "genius" who just HAS to take someone else's work. Someone else's PUBLISHED work. This one copied it verbatim, only changing character names. Original stuff And the theft...

yep, will be done later on.

You Darkness link

Something we can certainly look at for the new programming, but not an option with the current, unfortunately.

A+ here, and my daughter just got a card from the travelling blood bank for more donations, so she's going to see if they're doing it for local only, or if we need to look up a Red Cross chapter as well.

American Red Cross There are so many ways we can help these people, whether it's time, blood, or a small donation.

jj, you got it exactly right. Subdomain names are what they are. However, what tells you what "lives" there, is actually the menu. For example, when the changes I've asked opinions on for comics and xmen sub domains are implemented, the subdomain names will remain the same, whereas, the MENU option itself will change to reflect it.

The menu in the archive clearly says "anime", and then "Gundam, Beyblade, DBZ, FMA". The subdomain is named anime2, where Gundam, Beyblade, DBZ, and FMA exist. Look at your browser bar, and you'll SEE the subdomain names.

While moving stories around in the buffy subdomain (and I sorted crossovers as well), came across a BtVS/InuYasha one. Sorry, animated characters with real people just doesn't work.

For now, until we get there to sort that mess, I could probably just change the fantasy top level to Fantasy/Science Fiction, and then subdivide it further once we get there for sorting and cataloging. Reason being that one of the reqs I set for something to exist at the top level, was that it must have at least 200 stories attached to it. Since we've not sorted it yet and seen whether or not the misc stuff has a bunch of sci-fi and other categories to get a count, I think you can see why I'd rather wait and do this as an alternative for now.

Well yes, but as I said, this is very rough what I'm throwing at you. Once I GET there, is when I start looking at exactly how it can be put together without it making a worse mess than already exists. But, this is exactly what I asked for, because I do need to figure this out, LOL. So, the more input, the better, as then I'll start plotting it out in a way which'll work with the 3 levels of categories and the database itself. Of course, once I come up with something much more than a very rough draft, I'll put it up so we can all discuss it further, and refine it. THEN I can implement. Make sense?
