-	Hey Platypus, wanted to ask you a question about the new rules. Now that we're not allowed to write about underage characters a lot of the old stories have been deleted. Some of them were my favorites that I worked hard on. Are they gone forever or are they archived somewhere? I would love to transcribe them to the allthefallen stories site instead. Thanks! (Bellajones)	+	== What measure is an Underage ==
-		+
-	lol, I have been with a guy who was "Well endowed". He hurt, alot. Wish I had known about that ring thing before that. I would have made him use it. Instead, we only had sex one time. I never let him touch me again. Oh well, wasn't a serious thing anyways. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 10:14, 7 May 2016 (UTC)	+
-	Thanks for pointing out the mistake. I am seriously beginning to speak Chinglish. Think I even have a little bit of a Chinese-English accent now...	+	While it is of course a bit obvious that 6 or 10 is underage, what is the lower measure allowed on the site to not be considered underage?
-	So, what do you think of my [[DirtyMeStoryTime Rants]]? I know they are making fun of people, but I am at least trying to keep them interesting enough that they are readable. Also, not sure about your thoughts on my [[User:DirtyMeStoryTime/IRL sex experiences]]. I had a bit of discussion with this with Teejay, but I also know it crosses from "Story" to "Bio", so not sure if I should even put it here. Your thoughts? Basically, just trying to let those who like my writing know a bit about who I am. At least, in the areas that most people on here would care about, given most people on here are mostly [[All Adult Stories]] oriented. Guess it is more of a "Hey, do you wonder why I write mostly erotica? Here you go" thing. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 05:02, 6 May 2016 (UTC)	+	While most countries make it illegal sexual '''images''' of women under 18, the age of consent varies, and with it the age you could '''write''' about probably does too.
		+	The most common age of consent under 18 is 16, Japan seems to allow 14, last I checked my own country was 12, which surprised me, not taking it in consideration but thought important to mention.
-	Noted, I will apply to the others then, just wanted to check before I did too much. I will try to improve it, trying to figure out how to get them to line up, but at least it is another step towards a nicer, more graphic website for us all ^.^ --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 12:38, 4 May 2016 (UTC)	+	Either way my point is, at what age is it allowed to be written about without breaking the "no underage sexual content" rule?
		+	(I did search the archives, but could not find it. At best I found someone asking the same thing on Archive5, but it seems to have gone unanswered for them too.
-	I have tried to add a nice looking template to the family friendly section on the front page. If you do not like it, we can revert. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 04:55, 4 May 2016 (UTC)	+	- [[User:WolfDFang|WolfDFang]] 12:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)
-	Dood can I ask something? I need you to please help me. Seriously and do you have a place that we can talk privately.	+	== Adding Images ==
-	Yours, Michael. hehe really put that to help me(PLS SERSLY AND ALSO I WONT BE HOME TOMORROW SO I CANT REPLY BUT I WILL REPLY AS SOON AS I GET HOME Thanks) -- [[User:Michaeltamayo96]]	+	Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right format, but is there no way to add an image in pages anymore? I tried the method in the tutorial of adding a link but all I get is a captcha circle. Sorry again if this question is in the wrong area/format!
-	Dude I just read the tutorial and im new so dont expect me to write such many branches. --[[User:Michaeltamayo96|Michaeltamayo96]]	+	Edit - If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to send me a link to one of these new pages? So that I can hopefully replicate it? But if you're busy don't worry about it, I'll keep an eye out myself :)
-	So I hope you don't mind me making fun of [[Smutty Sex Romp]] in my [[DirtyMeStoryTime Rants/Horny for sluts]] path. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 11:51, 27 April 2016 (UTC)	+	--[[User:Thevoid|Thevoid]] 15:69, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
		+	== Ban Tr0ll ==
-	Please check [[Special:Contributions/Njrsgg]]. I have edited one of the stories that was posted that contained "under age vagina", but looking through many of his posts, it is still pretty obvious, even though I removed mention of the underage and	+	Hey Plat, just wanted to tell ya that the user Tr0ll seems to have just redone his spam on the main page and who knows where else. That includes your talk page. I've been trying to reverse it wherever I can, but unless this person is banned, they'll likely just keep doing this nonsense.
-	4th grade" and that kind of thing. I have also warned him. But, I think you may still want to look through his pages to decide what may be too close to the editthis ban on content. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 02:41, 26 April 2016 (UTC)	+
-	<nowiki>*</nowiki>Sniff<nowiki>*</nowiki> You haven't given me any options for [[The Exhibitionist]]. You should be able to give me great options. I will write the story, just want creative ways to show myself off xD --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 09:17, 25 April 2016 (UTC)	+	Edit: Currently working on getting some of the conversations that were deleted from this page into the Archive 8 page and keeping some of the more recent stuff back on this page. I tried to just undo the troll's post, but got hit with the external link error.
-	It will be filled out over time as I come up with more ideas for the story. Unfortunately, I tend to take my time with writing so It'll mostly come out in bits and pieces. --[[User:Fredhot16]] 12:03, 25 January 2015 (UTC)	+	--[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 03:02, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
-	What the hell is "shotgun-wielding" supposed to mean? Here's what I mean: "Miss Natsume. Shotgun wielding teacher. Long dark purple hair, matching eyes. 5'8. C Cup." Really, what is it supposed to mean? Other then the obvious denotation but I haven't seen a anime where teachers are allowed to bring firearms to school and I get the feeling that it's supposed to be related to her personality.--[[User:Fredhot16]] 10:42, 15 April 2016 (Louisiana Time)	+	----
		+	== Alternative home for Smutty? ==
-	Hell yeah! I've discovered TV Tropes before I found this website. I even have my own troper profile:Fredhot16.--[[User:Fredhot16]] 10:32, 15 April 2016 (Louisiana Time)	+	Do you have Smutty Sex Romp up on a different site, P? If not, have you considered relocating? [[User:Anedwcan|Anedwcan]] 13:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)
-	Is it O.K to find empty discussion pages and put in a trope list of what tropes I think fits the page's content?--[[User:Fredhot16]] 07:53, 15 April 2016 (Louisiana Time)	+	-
-	Please check [[Special:Contributions/Sup]]. Teejay reversed the damage. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 05:24, 13 April 2016 (UTC)	+	I looked a little further into that Miraheze wikifarm Durzan recommended; seems like they might actually allow a site like this. The most similar (to CYOS) existing site I found was Star Wars Erotica Wiki (swew.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (EDIT: and it's not so similar as I thought; it links to a separate CYOA style star wars erotica wiki, and I confused the two, but it's still a decent example of a markedly adult site hosted on the Miraheze platform). And a few years ago someone made a request for a Yiff wiki that was approved, so I can't see them turning down a CYOS style site (you can see the discussion about the Yiff wiki here-> meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_2#Not_Safe_for_Work_Content_Policy.3F).
-	Added a [[Rules]] page and linked it on the front page. I guess it is strange to tell them to follow the rules, and have no rules page, so... Anyways, I will let you edit it if you feel the need, add, subtract, modify, etc. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 02:03, 11 April 2016 (UTC)	+	Main NSFW content rules seem to be that
-	Hey Platypus, it's [[User:Vgybhu]]. You gave me some helpful formatting advice for my Monster Girl Adventure story, but its in such an early state its not even playable. I guess I just wanted to say 'message received' and ask for any advice on how to keep my story progressing but allow me to write in 20 mins bursts. I'll keep the update log and option descriptions labeled for now with % complete, although I was hoping to write my story in chunks with one encounter for each character/start point (So it'll take awhile before there is actually a path to play into).	+	1. Everything has to be legal in Netherlands, U.S., and U.K., (so rule 1 still stands, since underage sex stories are a legally grey area at best) and
-	I formatted a couple links on the main page to try to help them stand out. I did in a single edit, so it can be easily reverted if you do not like. Maybe someone can take my idea and make it look better, I just made them look like buttons xD Anyways, if you do not like, please feel free to revert, and I won't feel bad. If anyone does like, well, perhaps someone else can modify the template to make it look better. It was actually a test template I was working on to try to make the index's themselves look better, but I could not get them to look right. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 05:53, 7 April 2016 (UTC)	+	2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)
-	I think I meant it to be the present case they were currently having sex? I am not really sure, but I will check later because I have things to do. I though I wrote in present tense cause I did not really check over my work though.[[User:GirlOnGirlFan!]]	+	It's possible I've missed something else important in the Content Policy, so you might want to have a look at it for yourself (meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy). Additionally, Miraheze is free and ad-free.
-		+
-	Um, oops, I kind of got them mixed up its been a while since I wrote something. Did you edit it if not I will. And next time I will check my work more thoroughly.	+
-	[[User:GirlOnGirlFan!]]	+
-		+
-	Sorry, think I overwhelmed the poor guy :o I was trying to help, not intimidate xD (hint check histories...)	+
-	Am I really that intimidating? I want others to tell me what I am doing wrong in my writing, so I thought it would help...--[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 18:50, 1 April 2016 (UTC)	+	Regarding the transfer of stories, the 'import' function would almost definitely be available to Bureaucrats (MediaWiki permission defaults even let Admins use it). So moving Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage would be very possible, if time consuming (as only small xml files can be imported using 'import,' around 100 pages in size). I'll make another set of Smutty Sex Romp xml files suitable for transferring this way soon. I'd be happy to help you import them if you'd like.
-	You are not replying, so I will write one page and if you do not like it simply delete it.	+	I know you said you weren't considering relocating right now, but maybe some of this will be useful in the future. Seems like RobKohr has no plan to fix the issues any time soon (editthis.info/wiki/User_talk:RobKohr#Not_dead).
-	From [[GirlOnGirlFan!]] to Platypus.	+
-	I read your stories Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage, I must say your writing is truly marvelous. To be honest, I only created this account to tell you that because I am no easy person to please, In fact I am quite finicky in writing and reading other peoples stories, others work usually disappoints me and one request. The request is may I write some pages in your stories? As a huge fan of your work it would be such an honor for you to let me contribute to your superb stories! I would only write one page for a demo of my skills and you tell me if you want me to continue contributing or not.	+	If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?
-	From [[GirlOnGirlFan!]] to Platypus.	+
-	Hi Platypus, it's [[Whining Winnie]]. The reason I haven't been able to chat is because you've done something to like this page, so when on my DSi (I mostly use the internet browser on that) i try to send you messages about stuff, it won't let me type, similar to the problem user [[AllyG]] was having. Did you like change like the format or anything on this page? Also is anybody working on [[Star Wars: The Complete Erotic Saga]]?? Thanks, [[Whining Winnie]] Happy Easter Everyone!	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] ([[User talk:Pickles|Talk]]) 17:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
-	The reason is why I do not have the grammatical skills is because I did not try at the time it was late and I got lazy but I wanted it to continue the story because its good and I hate cliff hangers, and plus I thought the rules of this site say your allowed I did not know.	+	:Oh, that makes sense. You were working on it quite a bit earlier this year though. I figured you'd stopped because of how ungodly slow the website has become, and I hadn't considered that you might have lost interest.
-	[[User:H0rniWr1t3r]]	+
-	If you replied to my comment un ban H0rniWr1t3r and I will talk to you there instead of changing my public ip address, FYI I will not ever again write in your stories. I forgot the password of LookIdidNotMean2VandalismIamNewRemember either that or you deleted it! [[User:H0rniWr1t3r]]	+	:So far as my understanding goes, you'd still have plenty of ability to keep litter out on the other farm. If you create a new wiki on Miraheze, you'll have the Bureaucrat user rights. And it would be ''your'' wiki: you could write up the rules any way you wanted to, with even more power to enforce them. If you were to switch over, you would not have to worry about any loss of content moderating authority.
-	Sorry if this is vandalism but I wanted you too see what I go through to understand why I am so "immature"	+	:And trying it out has almost no risk. It's possible that they won't allow smut on their servers, and the worst case where they decide not to host the wiki, nothing really changes. We're just stuck on editthis, with one more possibilty ticked off the list.

I think I am strong and continuing to grow do to what I go through! Its funny I called you a noob in IT but really I think I am the noob :( I guess I am not due to the fact my team says I am the best one there but yeah fucking right. The fact I am still standing loads of medication which is making me feel numb and queasy due to the crap side effects.[[User:H0rniWr1t3r]]	+
-	I don't know what I did wrong how did I do vandalism, I was just trying to comment you please don't ban me for this. I am new and just learning the ways of this site so please tell me how to do it the proper way. [[User:H0rniWr1t3r]]	+	:Of course there is no real urgency as far as moving is concerned, but it would be great to read and edit Smutty (and any other stories that would be moved over) on a website that works. I'll stop buzzing in your ear about it, but please give Miraheze some consideration and let me know if you change your mind.

-	o.O What happened? --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 18:08, 26 March 2016 (UTC)	+	I probably should have done a little more lurking before contributing to your story. Smutty Sex Romp is a wonderful work, and I wanted (want) to help add to it. Anyway, I might have jumped the gun a little. I made an account and added a few contributions before realizing Smutty Sex Romp was your work, and that you have perhaps higher standards than I can meet right now (knowing very little about creative writing, formatting a wiki, and whatnot). The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.
-	When you come back, you might want to check [[Special:Contributions/Darth_nox]]. I am not blanking his pages, just trying to fix them, but some of the stuff he is writing... --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 03:52, 26 March 2016 (UTC)	+	I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.
-	Sooooo...I got Teejay to leave me options. When is platy going to leave me some? --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 03:56, 18 March 2016 (UTC)	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 06:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
-	lol, feel free to give him warning 2...I have already warned him about categories, then I gave him a non-warn2 warning before he got the second warning. Seems he isn't learning his lesson :o --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 10:05, 17 March 2016 (UTC)	+	:Hello again! I was looking through the '''[[:Category:Pages Requiring Attention|Pages Requiring Attention]]''', and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked [[Paladin/Caladbolg18|this one]] to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete [[Paladin/Caladbolg18]] for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?
-	Note for you, some idiot wiped the adult index, and I cannot figure out how to restore because of "too many conflicting changes"...only thing I can see is recreating the entire thing...which would be a pain...I will leave it up to you to see if you can figure out how to fix. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 13:28, 11 March 2016 (UTC)	+	:I've been wondering about those [[Special:SpecialPages|maintenance reports]] as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The [[Special:UncategorizedPages|uncategorized pages]] and [[Special:DeadendPages|deadend pages]] reports would be handy if they actually updated.
-	Please do not tell me what I can and can't edit, you should just mind your own goddamn business! I know I am not experienced in English its my second language. So	+	:Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.
-	can you please keep to your self. [[H0rniWr1t3r]]	+
-	Just wanted to say thanks for the reminder with category pages! Sorry that I caused the trouble. [[User:LilBitOfSpace|LilBitOfSpace]]	+	:In any case, thanks for helping me out! --[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 17:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
-	Just wanted to experiment! Did you like the rest of the story? [[Whining Winnie]]	+	P.S. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on my last message! I'm glad I've got your seal of approval.
		+	P.P.S. Is it just me or is the site loading faster today?
-	Well if your not happy with that bit, I'll edit it out!......:-( [[Whining Winnie]]	+	== Found an ad ==
-	It's not letting me add external links. I try to, then the page reloads asking me to enter a captcha. I do that and then a page pops up saying I can only submit one page with an external link every 20 minutes. Only I wasn't able to submit any. Any suggestions? [[User:Gr1mm|Gr1mm]] 11:13 Central Time 1/15/2016	+	[[User:Netconnekt|Netconnekt]]'s user page is an ad. I saw you deleted the dubaitours thing, so I figure this sort of account is not allowed.

-	Don't forget that [[CLM]] is my first story. Of course it's going to have some issues and stuff. But practice makes perfect! Also I`ve added a few more pages and the reason I haven't been on was because I went to my friends funeral. He died in a car crash. RIP Jacob Pierre 1989-2016	+	[[User:Reviewruk|Reviewruk]]'s user page is ''also'' an ad (and a fishy service if you ask me). I wonder if we're on some list of good wikis to advertise on. Interestingly enough, another company has made an account but not posted a link (yet). [[User:Lwayservice|Lwayservice]] is a net dev company (akin to Netconnekt), but they didn't create any pages.

-	Could you move [[CLM]] to the [[Adult Stories]] section? It's now got sex in it so I thought it should be moved to Adult. And is it rude that the druglord in my story is named El Faggetito?

-	Hey, is it possible to have rate limits removed? I believe that is what they are referred to as. I just want to know if it's somehow possible to be verified or something such and remove the time limits. I.e. the 2 second un-cached page limit, the 60(?) page visit limit, the 20 minute page with a link limit. Thanks for your help. [[User:CodeSoldier|CodeSoldier]] 31/01/16	+	== Red Options ==
-	Hey, you left a message on my discussion page that my dialogue's punctuation and grammar is bad and I shouldn't post on your stories because of a page that I made on one of your stories, but the grammar seems fine to me and all you did was add a comma and change some wording around. So am I allowed to add pages to your story or should I not edit that story anymore? [[User:Fort|Fort]] 05/02/16	+	I'm not sure if it's been brought up before. I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?
-	Relax… All I did was ask why you thought my grammar was bad because when I checked the edit, I only saw one punctuation edit and that didn’t seem to be enough to warrant your complaint that my pages were bad. When I looked again, I saw that there were three grammar edits, so I retracted my statement. I don’t quite understand your hostility towards a first-time editor, but I’ll remove my pages posthaste from your story Smutty Sex Romp as my writing is not good enough for your standards. I readded my previous comment for posterity's sake. --[[User:Fort|Fort]] 5 February 2016	+	== Fredhot16 ==
-	I apologize for my "obsession with colons" when it comes to dialogue - I've been told my English grammar is rather good for a non-native speaker, but apparently that's one bad habit that's slipped through so far. Will definitely try to do better. - ETA later same day: Thanks. Hopefully you won't find as many wrong colons from now on... [[User:Shirasade|Shirasade]] 20/02/16	+	Yo. I'm thinking of coming back to this website but not fully until I have something to write about. Just curious: what happened to the edit button on the Main Page?
-	Really sorry, but I screwed up a link and accidentally created two identical pages with different titles. There is one page with no link to it and I can't see how to redirect or delete it. Apologies once again. [[User:Slk350|Slk350]] 23/02/16	+	-October, 15, 2021, 02:09.
-	Thank you ever so much for fixing the problem so quickly. [[User:Slk350|Slk350]] 24/02/16	+	== Thanks for the deletes ==
-	I actually meant grammar sergeant about the intimidating xD For the other guy, he will probably be back on his next up swing. I am familiar many of his conditions. Honestly, nothing anyone here can do for him. Anyways, I mean check grammar sergeant's large deletions when I had a large addition on talk pages (His and a [[Talk:Continue fucking Kate|specific story talk page]]) and you will see why I ask if I was intimidating. --[[User:DirtyMeStoryTime|Dirty Me]] 02:46, 2 April 2016 (UTC)	+	Hi Platypus. Thanks for deleting the pages I blanked. I was about to ask if you would do that. :) (I assume you looked and saw I was the only contributor.)

-	Sorry to bother you about this and I apologize in advance if I sound too critical but I'm actually kinda curious about the "Feel her up for real since she's already slapped you" choice in "Darkness". I mean, why would someone choose to deliberately cop a feel on their sister in the middle of a mysterious blackout after they had found a note imploring them to stay? Also, why was there a katana or steel thing in the room where the protagonist was and why did you include the "I'm Your Brother" choice if the protagonist was a girl? It felt like a place where the reader could decide on the protagonist's gender even if it was a bit late. Sorry if this sounds too critical. - [[User:Fredhot16|Fredhot16]]	+	== Having a problem creating an account ==

Obviously, I have an account on Create Your Own Story, but I want to create an account on the main editthis.info page. I keep trying, but the same thing happens every time. I put in the username and the password. I made sure that the passwords were the same. I did the captcha. But every time I go to create the account, I get an error message: "Could not open socket in ./common/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php". I don't know who else to tell about this, so here I am. If you don't know anything about this, then could you please tell someone else who does. Thank you.
-	Woah. You actually know the nickname of the Venture. Well, one. The nickname in the core rulebook in the First Edition is "Lords". It's still cool, though. Thanks for the advice. I've got a question, though: how do you the copyright since I'm planning on copying the short descriptions of the clans from one of the pdfs of Vampire? Edit: I've found "Aristocrats" to be used in one of the NWOD Vampire novels so...you win this round. --[[User:Fredhot16]] 09:15, 11 March 2016 (Louisiana Time)	+	- [[User:TheFreddyFazbear54|TheFreddyFazbear54]] 13:57, 30th July 2022 (UTC)
-	You know what? I've finally decided about what to do that "feeling up" choice in "Darkness". Fuck it. FUCK. IT. Not only is the choice out of place, there is nothing that would suggest that the protagonist, Jenny, has any feelings or thoughts that would suggest she would do such a thing. And yes, I've read your note about how how choices don't need to seem logical but this is, simply put, not a good choice. Gepetto chose that choice because it was a fairy tale and illogical choices are a staple in that sort of thing. Thing is, I'm not against illogical choices. I'm not against unreasonable choices. Hell, I'm not even against stupid choices. I'm against unrealistic choices. I'm against a choice that does nothing to advance the story or even make an attempt to do so. So fuck that choice. As of now, I'm going to get rid of it when I've got the time.  --[[User:Fredhot16]] 08:26, 18 March 2016 (Louisiana Time)	+	== Final touches to the Tutorial ==
-	So to answer your question about[[My Little Pony: Choose Your Own Adventure]] (yeah, it was over a year ago but...) anyway, Here's a short description of the story: it's basically a dating sim. Of a sort. I'm only calling a "dating sim: because, well, I've realized that if I were to put a genre into it, "dating sim" would be the closest one thought "slice of life" is a better description. If you have the patience to listen to me ramble on about what it's supposed to be, let me know.--[[User:Fredhot16]] 16:04, 19 March 2016 (Louisiana Time)	+	Hello. I was poking around the wiki and noticed that the Tutorial needed a bit of a clean-up, so I've tried my best. Unfortunately, the [[how_to_create_a_page|page creation]] page is protected and there's something I think would be a very helpful addition. The addition and the edits I made are on the [[Talk:Tutorial|Tutorial Discussion]], but feel free to change anything that you want. I figured you were the admin and might be able to edit the protected page. Thanks.
-	I thought I'd ask an experienced user (I am very new) is it worth trying to resurrect/clean up a cluttered and/or messy story started by someone else. I'm having fun editing the Pokesex story but I'm more than a little put off by the lack of focus some of the things people added before I got there (Some joker added a shemale option at the beginning that had nothing to it and although there are some worthwhile ideas there are way too many categories and sub divisions) So the story is looking a little neglected but I quite like the set up. I'm new to the site so please excuse me if I get something wrong.

-	Yes, I do. However, I'm to categorize them later. Let's be honest: I am a very patchy writer. Also, I apologize for the "Darkness" choices. Let me ask: did you start the story? If so, can you please tell me what the story is supposed to be?

I'm very new to this site and was just confused. The original link doesn't exist anymore- at least I don't think it does. So I'm going to put my story back on there, because there's no need to rewrite something when you just put it in the wrong spot.

What measure is an Underage

While it is of course a bit obvious that 6 or 10 is underage, what is the lower measure allowed on the site to not be considered underage?

While most countries make it illegal sexual images of women under 18, the age of consent varies, and with it the age you could write about probably does too. The most common age of consent under 18 is 16, Japan seems to allow 14, last I checked my own country was 12, which surprised me, not taking it in consideration but thought important to mention.

Either way my point is, at what age is it allowed to be written about without breaking the "no underage sexual content" rule? (I did search the archives, but could not find it. At best I found someone asking the same thing on Archive5, but it seems to have gone unanswered for them too.

Adding Images

Hey, I'm not sure if I'm asking in the right format, but is there no way to add an image in pages anymore? I tried the method in the tutorial of adding a link but all I get is a captcha circle. Sorry again if this question is in the wrong area/format!

Edit - If it's not too much trouble, would you be able to send me a link to one of these new pages? So that I can hopefully replicate it? But if you're busy don't worry about it, I'll keep an eye out myself :)

Ban Tr0ll

Hey Plat, just wanted to tell ya that the user Tr0ll seems to have just redone his spam on the main page and who knows where else. That includes your talk page. I've been trying to reverse it wherever I can, but unless this person is banned, they'll likely just keep doing this nonsense.

Edit: Currently working on getting some of the conversations that were deleted from this page into the Archive 8 page and keeping some of the more recent stuff back on this page. I tried to just undo the troll's post, but got hit with the external link error.

Alternative home for Smutty?

Do you have Smutty Sex Romp up on a different site, P? If not, have you considered relocating? Anedwcan 13:13, 4 May 2020 (UTC)

-

I looked a little further into that Miraheze wikifarm Durzan recommended; seems like they might actually allow a site like this. The most similar (to CYOS) existing site I found was Star Wars Erotica Wiki (swew.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page) (EDIT: and it's not so similar as I thought; it links to a separate CYOA style star wars erotica wiki, and I confused the two, but it's still a decent example of a markedly adult site hosted on the Miraheze platform). And a few years ago someone made a request for a Yiff wiki that was approved, so I can't see them turning down a CYOS style site (you can see the discussion about the Yiff wiki here-> meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Meta:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive_2#Not_Safe_for_Work_Content_Policy.3F).

Main NSFW content rules seem to be that

1. Everything has to be legal in Netherlands, U.S., and U.K., (so rule 1 still stands, since underage sex stories are a legally grey area at best) and

2. No pornographic images of real people (drawings and 3D renders seem to be fine)

It's possible I've missed something else important in the Content Policy, so you might want to have a look at it for yourself (meta.miraheze.org/wiki/Content_Policy). Additionally, Miraheze is free and ad-free.

Regarding the transfer of stories, the 'import' function would almost definitely be available to Bureaucrats (MediaWiki permission defaults even let Admins use it). So moving Smutty Sex Romp and Rampage would be very possible, if time consuming (as only small xml files can be imported using 'import,' around 100 pages in size). I'll make another set of Smutty Sex Romp xml files suitable for transferring this way soon. I'd be happy to help you import them if you'd like.

I know you said you weren't considering relocating right now, but maybe some of this will be useful in the future. Seems like RobKohr has no plan to fix the issues any time soon (editthis.info/wiki/User_talk:RobKohr#Not_dead).

If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?

--Pickles (Talk) 17:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

Oh, that makes sense. You were working on it quite a bit earlier this year though. I figured you'd stopped because of how ungodly slow the website has become, and I hadn't considered that you might have lost interest.

So far as my understanding goes, you'd still have plenty of ability to keep litter out on the other farm. If you create a new wiki on Miraheze, you'll have the Bureaucrat user rights. And it would be your wiki: you could write up the rules any way you wanted to, with even more power to enforce them. If you were to switch over, you would not have to worry about any loss of content moderating authority.

And trying it out has almost no risk. It's possible that they won't allow smut on their servers, and the worst case where they decide not to host the wiki, nothing really changes. We're just stuck on editthis, with one more possibilty ticked off the list.

Of course there is no real urgency as far as moving is concerned, but it would be great to read and edit Smutty (and any other stories that would be moved over) on a website that works. I'll stop buzzing in your ear about it, but please give Miraheze some consideration and let me know if you change your mind.

--Pickles (Talk) 02:22, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

Am I doing this right?

I probably should have done a little more lurking before contributing to your story. Smutty Sex Romp is a wonderful work, and I wanted (want) to help add to it. Anyway, I might have jumped the gun a little. I made an account and added a few contributions before realizing Smutty Sex Romp was your work, and that you have perhaps higher standards than I can meet right now (knowing very little about creative writing, formatting a wiki, and whatnot). The first place I contributed was in your story, when I should've started in the sandbox.

I got a little carried away. Not that seven pages is insane, but I figured I should stop here and make sure what I've added is okay. It's easier to delete or fix seven pages than seventy (especially with the dial-up speed this site is running at). And since it's your story it's a-okay with me if you decide to delete all of my additions, no questions asked. I like what you've got going here, and I don't want to throw ants in your cereal.

--Pickles 06:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Hello again! I was looking through the Pages Requiring Attention, and all of them had a 'This database did not find the text of a page..." error message. I figured you'd deleted or moved them, but for whatever reason the category stuck. I blanked this one to see if that would remove the category stamp. Of course it did, but now the page doesn't have a category (which I've heard annoys you). I think I want you to delete Paladin/Caladbolg18 for me, if it's not too much trouble. Is it normal that moved/deleted pages keep categories like this, or is this something else?

I've been wondering about those maintenance reports as well. I don't want you to go out of your way if the answer is complicated, but do they work at all? The uncategorized pages and deadend pages reports would be handy if they actually updated.

Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.

In any case, thanks for helping me out! --Pickles 17:39, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

P.S. Thanks for getting back to me so quickly on my last message! I'm glad I've got your seal of approval. P.P.S. Is it just me or is the site loading faster today?

Found an ad

Netconnekt's user page is an ad. I saw you deleted the dubaitours thing, so I figure this sort of account is not allowed. --Pickles 01:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Reviewruk's user page is also an ad (and a fishy service if you ask me). I wonder if we're on some list of good wikis to advertise on. Interestingly enough, another company has made an account but not posted a link (yet). Lwayservice is a net dev company (akin to Netconnekt), but they didn't create any pages. --Pickles 03:41, 10 June 2020 (UTC)

Woodframe's new page User talk:Woodframe is an ad. First paragraph is so deeply introspective that I almost didn't realise it was an ad. --Pickles 18:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

Ingdarenth's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 09:06, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

Fivesdigital's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 11:33, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

Harrygood9898's user page is also an ad. Leonel Sohns 14:14, 10 August 2021 (UTC)

Red Options

I'm not sure if it's been brought up before. I've been lurking for a little as an anon and wanted to start contributing to stories: some of which have red options nobody has fleshed out (in some cases for well over a year as far as I can tell). Do red options that haven't been written belong to the person, or are they free game to make into a page?

Fredhot16

Yo. I'm thinking of coming back to this website but not fully until I have something to write about. Just curious: what happened to the edit button on the Main Page?

-October, 15, 2021, 02:09.

Thanks for the deletes

Hi Platypus. Thanks for deleting the pages I blanked. I was about to ask if you would do that. :) (I assume you looked and saw I was the only contributor.) DirtyOldMan 20:43, 16 March 2022 (UTC)

Having a problem creating an account

Hello. Obviously, I have an account on Create Your Own Story, but I want to create an account on the main editthis.info page. I keep trying, but the same thing happens every time. I put in the username and the password. I made sure that the passwords were the same. I did the captcha. But every time I go to create the account, I get an error message: "Could not open socket in ./common/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php". I don't know who else to tell about this, so here I am. If you don't know anything about this, then could you please tell someone else who does. Thank you.

Final touches to the Tutorial

Hello. I was poking around the wiki and noticed that the Tutorial needed a bit of a clean-up, so I've tried my best. Unfortunately, the page creation page is protected and there's something I think would be a very helpful addition. The addition and the edits I made are on the Tutorial Discussion, but feel free to change anything that you want. I figured you were the admin and might be able to edit the protected page. Thanks.

Adopting other Interactives from other sites

Hi. I been looking at the number of stories, both kid-friendly and XXX-rated and I been thinking of allowing other content from other sites, both dead or infinantus-haitus and allowing both the original creators and contributors from those sites to post here. I know of a couple of good adult-heavy interactives from that bully site Writing.com that would struggle but accept the transfer.

Is this website dead?

Is there any consistent updates of storys and active members?

The link I changed didn't match up with the continuation of the the story path

• Go find Jenny to apologize.

That's after he just agreed to only be with the daughter but the mom then rejected him in the same path so the two paths conflict?

• Agree to Jenny's terms.

Is contradicts this path

• Deny that you were looking at Jenny's cleavage.

Could you rename some pages

Hey, I was wondering if you could rename a few pages? Specifically I was wondering if you could rename these pages:Josh._An_18-year_old,_brown-haired_football_player, Miranda._A_17-year-old_brown-haired_girl, and Chelsea._The_36_yo,_blonde-haired_volleyball-playing_mother_of_the_3_kids_above.
