Merged data, moved the one story to its right category, deleted the duplicate

HP is done for now.. Mpreg stories are now in slash OMC/OFC stories are in their respective pair type categories Lists and Virtual Hogwarts stories are moved to general The above listed categories no longer exist, but the stories were moved, so are still there. Pair specific - all have been moved to their respective pair type categories as a sub level. Also, until we complete the cleanup part (which this is not, this is set up for that), the pair specific categories with less than 10 stories will stay up. Once, after we've gone through each archive's set of stories, if the pair category criteria is still not met, those stories will be moved into the pair type category, and the pair specific category will be gone. For the Comics zone, I'm still kicking around a few ideas, so am leaving that for a bit later. The Historical link, looks like it more properly should be merged back into books misc, as that is what zone this link lives in to begin with. Will continue to look at that, and make a final determination later. LotR is next... This one will actually be fairly straightforward to set up. There will be new top level categories corresponding to the AGES in this series for the books. The movieverse will pretty much stay the same other than some tweaking, as it is quite different from bookverse. LotR Stars will be getting moved to Celebrities zone, where it more properly belongs. So, those stories will be moved into a renamed category of "to be moved to celeb", and the subcategories there all merged into that.

allllrighty then.... hmm well, we don't actually qc things for the archive, but a non category can be merged into a real category.

celebs is done, finally. ugh.

If they list a phone contact (which they should, most companies do), my next step would be to CALL them.

as a top level? That's what I'm thinking for those others as well. And....since there seems to be quite a few webcomics, that's probably a good idea

For the most part, while we are cleaning the databases, are my fault. Give the server about 10 seconds and then try again. What it means, is that after doing a bunch of data manipulation and/or deletions, I have to repair and then optimize the tables I was working in. By running these tasks, it keeps the databases healthy so the programs continue to run correctly.

What is this one's purpose?

they reuploaded instead of moving it. No prob, I'll merge the stuff over from the one to the other, then delete the duplicate after making sure everything is in the right section.

something else we discussed at length (manta2g and I) was moving the "LotR Stars" top level entirely out of the LotR archive. Those are technically CELEBRITY fanfictions, so that is where they're going to live.

In the site news section, for the archive, everyone was made aware that the challenge/request, beta, searching for a fic, rants/journals subcategories are all slated for deletion. I've already done this JUST to the anime zone. The end result was what I expected, which was faster script execution, less queries, better overall load time, and a 400mb savings in the archive db. I'm going through the other spots I've already recategorized to do the same. I will be doing this concurrently with the recategorization of all the rest. Then, it's on to launching the actual CLEANUP of the thing. I want to be certain that all who visit the forums are aware that those categories will not exist for much longer. There others, little oddball things in different zones, but most of that I'm actually merging into a different category.

There should be a dropdown where you select the story codes, after filling out the description (I think). I'll have to play around with it a little to make sure.

As far as I'm aware, there is no limit. Sometimes, your connection may drop a data packet, in which case, simply try again and it should work

That's how I feel as well. I don't know this man as a PERSON, so I can't personally hate HIM. However, I can and DO, strongly disagree with, and for the most part dislike his policies. As to how he got two terms? That's easy. First term he was allowed to steal, second term, alot of people voted for him because (and believe it or not thsi was a common response) "he seemed like a nice guy to have come to a barbeque or have a beer with". ugh Hasn't anyone ever heard of researching a candidate's record before voting? It's all public record, after all.

or they may be lost in the sea of many many sub categories.....I've not given up on looking yet, but...fresh eyes certainly help

This person, who went by the name "greeniesshadow" here at AFF is a plagiarist and troll. Here are the two stories this user stole: The first is called Roses Among the Ashes. The original story is by Greenie, also titled "Roses Among the Ashes" The second is entitled "Gently with the Dawn". The original author, Greenie, has only published this so far on y!gallery, not here. That is irrelevant, however, as theft is theft. This user who likes to steal from others has also decided to use an alias email, i_am_animehead@hotmail.com, in order to HARASS Greenie via email. Naturally, I do happen to know that this is not the user we all kinow here as animehead (both in archive and forum). So, if anyone has gotten any kind of troll or flame mail from this person, PLEASE be aware that it's not animehead doing it. It's this person who has been deleted from AFF, who went by the name greeniesshadow.

I've had no luck so far....maybe someone else with fresh eyes can see what I missed?

Couldn't find anything searching the summaries

CHOMPED

Actually, this user is on a list of emails to be sent about this very thing. Although after now deleting ELEVEN stories...one would hope this user would get the hint.

gone

killed it

no prob, already took care of these with your other post

ALL deleted

Next on the list will be Celebrities ,Comics, and Harry Potter In Celebrities, WWE, My Chemical Romance, and Dir en grey will become top level categories. In Comics, I'm looking at the initial sort being by PUBLISHER. Those of you who read and write for this, obviously know where the comics come from. People new to it very likely do not. So maybe this'll encourage new collectors . In Harry Potter, there will be MANY changes. Pairs will be moved to their pair type category parent, character/OFC-OMC will be done away with. RP requests will be done away with (that is archive wide, not just for this specific subdomain).
