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).

It's not possible for the end user to move stories around from subdomain (zone) to subdomain. Should the user accidentally upload to the wrong zone, there's a couple ways this can be handled. First option - this would apply IF no rates or reviews have been made to the story Be sure to navigate to the correct subdomain (using the tab menu from the portal, or the jump menu from the Author Panel), then upload the story to its proper home. Then, delete it from where it doesn't belong. This is by far the quickest and easiest option. Second option - this would apply if rates and reviews have been added to the story and you really don't want to lose them Re upload the story to the correct subdomain (zone). Contact us in one the following ways so that the rates and reviews can be merged from the misplaced story to where it has been re uploaded to: email to admin@adult-fanfiction.org, subject - Story Merge. Provide links to the old story, and then the newly uploaded one, so I know where to go to merge from one story to the other POST your request in the Misplaced Stories forum, detailing out the problem as indicated for mail requests. Once we've been contacted to merge the misplaced story's rating and review data, you'll either recieve response via return mail, or you'll notice that the topic posted has been closed. Once a topic in that series of forums is closed, that means I've finished up the request. Once the story data has been merged from misplaced to new upload, the old story will be deleted. Please note, though, that the second option can take a while to complete, so you'll need to be patient.

You mean role playing? If so, that category needs to go away. The archive isn't used for that. Just to publish your stories. yeesh.

The first was an "un" story, the second was definitely misfiled. Since the beta category is going away archive wide, I went ahead and deleted both of them.

These have all been moved to the warehouse category.

Since the challenge/request categories throughout the archive will be deleted starting Friday, I went ahead and deleted the story.
