I'm running behind on my query run due to RL work shit. Should have that caught up within the week

yep, and added!

@Lexington I am STILL overloaded with RL work shit. In fact, I'm working now. I will get to your merge this week. Been playing catch up with OTHER shit RL too

You are REQUIRED to use 4 or more characters in both the archive and forum, in at least one word, or it will not give you results. That's normal in any database, by the way. However, to work around it, you can actually search the entirety of any archive via google from your address bar for the tags which do not qualify. For example: "F/D" games.adult-fanfiction.org That searches that specific tag in the specific subdomain.

I'm not finding that user here.

Looking at the article, the writing points brought up pertain more to technical writing. I wouldn't read fiction with that phrasing. It would be boring. In technical writing, less is more. Conciseness in technical writing helps to make it easier for one to reach the desired end result.

Fixed.

A Single Spark stories are archived on Dokuga you know.

The story, sure. But, we're not an art site, so no on the art.

It was posted in 2014, not 2008. Aside from that, what Melrick said. Even if they have the add chapter left open, it's often a user new to the site who does it by accident and doesn't intend to have others add to his or her work.

Sorry for the delay. Been working crazy hours. Added

Not only did this one steal parts of three stories, this person also posted those stories in the same fandom they came from. The other two are just like this, in that the theft occurs in a different chapter than the original, yet the theft is indeed there. Profile

Because the button for it is not written yet. The important thing is that the function does work.

There's still a subdomain with the login link in the review board? Those do NOT work.

All DC stuff is in the comics and DC subdomain. You'll find that here. There is a top level for the Teen Titans cartoon, and the comics verse stuff has its own category as well.

It would be a research/teaching station of some sort, I'd think. So the names you've come up with so far, are workable.

Post resource?

I do not appreciate you reading in to what I say, something entirely different from what I said. As with Bronx, I'm a blunt old thing. In point of fact, I'm blunt enough that I TEMPER that here, so as to not offend people. No one, was, in fact, hostile, except perhaps for you. "Freezing" a site, as you say, to rebuild from the ground up is not practical. By doing that, we have an archive that cannot be added to while this ground up rebuild is done. That is not going to happen. The whole POINT of what we're doing, is to stay live while the changes are made. If this archive is not to your tastes, find another one.

While I would LOVE to be able to do that, where the category is assigned later on down the chain, it's not possible. Not with a code rewrite, or anything like that. That has to do with the database structure itself. Each subdomain has, for all intents and purposes, a mini db. At the time this split was made, it was necessary due to OS limitations for database size. We were able to trick it by using the tables as mini dbs, in to seeing the different table sets as mini dbs, which made it so we didn't exceed the (at the time) 2GB database size limitation. Now, many years later, this database is 9GB in size altogether. There is no feasible way to merge all those tables in to one set, and make one database to be able to do what you want. Not even with cloning. We already HAVE a mess we're fixing, and frankly, I am not at all interested in making it even worse and having that much more to manually repair. Me, myself, and I, that is. If we were to "start from scratch", we'd lose a huge amount of data. That is not acceptable, so won't be happening. The software itself is actually in the process being completely rewritten and modernized, as we are well aware of the code deficiencies in the old software. However, the rewrite is being done in such a way as to PRESERVE all the data, not lose any of it.

Gilrabo's profile, and the story link

Been a long, long time, yes?

Okay, everyone take a damn chill pill. While we certainly appreciate humor, I do agree with Melrick, in that saying something like that, about disallowing a large part of the archive, is harmful to the site as a whole. In that respect, if Melrick feels you need warned or whatever, in the interest of protecting this archive, I WILL support him.
