-	Thank you for your feedback. I was looking to leave more options for others but that will do [[User:Twjhh|Twjhh]] 17:15, 26 May 2015 (UTC)	+	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?
-	Thanks for the feedback! Constructive criticism is always welcome. [[User:Marzipan92]] 22:12, 24 April 2015 (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.
-	Thank you for the heads up on the pages that I forgot to Categorize. [[User:Deathsknight|Deathsknight]] 14:28, 8 March 2015 (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.
-	Hey, is there a way to blank pages automatically, or to mass wipe a category? I'm trying to redo a story, so that would help out a lot. Cheers.	+	- [[User:WolfDFang|WolfDFang]] 12:55, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

-	Roger that. Sorry for my ignorance!-Lasagna	+	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!
-	I appreciate your protectiveness of your source material, but try being more hospitable. No reason to delete things when the changes aren't more than link perspectives or minor punctuation problems. You clearly don't want to write all 64,000 pages that would be needed to finish and tie together Rampage, or any other of your stories. So stop impeding people who are helping add more content to the site by wholesale deleting everything anybody writes with 2 missed periods or a run-on sentence or two. Try leaving the message and see if I'll fix it first, at the very least.[[User:Makhai|Makhai]] 13:57, 12 December 2014 (UTC).	+	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 :)
-	Hi there. I see you deleted my work on the story 'A Unique Arrangement'. It was understandable but i now know how to add options/categorize and i was wondering if you could get my deleted work back? I don't really want to have to write it all over again because of a couple of mistakes.	+	--[[User:Thevoid|Thevoid]] 15:69, 10 July 2021 (UTC)

-	I wpuld like toapologize for the actions that led to the deletion of the page if it were mear grammer problem please repost the page (if possible) and allow me to make corrections. If there was a problem with how I handled the story please tell me so I can make corrections and better furture work. In any case please type back as to know that you received this message	+	== Ban Tr0ll ==
-	My apologies,	+	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.
-	Greg222James	+
		+	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.
-	Platypus...this is Bustyalix.  You recently messaged me about including the STATUS BAR, but I have no idea how to go about doing so.  Is there any way you and I may converse privately?  I'd be more than happy to include my personal email address if necessary.  Please get back to me on this matter.  Thanks!	+	--[[User:Durzan|Durzan]] 03:02, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
-	I'm still new at this, so I don't appreciate the attitude. Yes, it'll take me some time getting used to this HTML like format, yes I'll make some errors now and again, but no that does not mean you have the right to strike an attitude with me. I haven't really worked with a status bar before, and I honestly didn't even realize I had to do anything with it. I'm still learning, rather teaching myself this strange format, so don't come to me in a hard and demeaning tone because I didn't do something the way you wanted it, because I am fairly new at this.	+	----
		+	== Alternative home for Smutty? ==
-	Platypus, this is eatenbypie. I appreciate that you pay attention to things like categorization of pages, but deleting work two hours after being warned and threatening to ban a new user because I missed categorization on 6-8 pages is excessive, especially given that the site doesn't notify you about warnings. Simple oversight on my part, and obviously an oversight given that the rest of the story has proper categorization. -Edit Not bothering to recreate my work on this site.	+	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)
		+	-
-	Apologies for the tense problems.  I've been proofreading my stuff since I'm used to writing in past tense, but some things slip through the cracks it seems. As for quirky titles... do you mean the link/page title thing?  The first was due to a page collision.  I suppose I could have changed the action prompt to something else, but I consider that a part of the story itself, and didn't want to change it due to a collision.  Those are rare, I guess.  The second was due to a plan where two mini-storylines would converge to the same page... but the actions to get there would be different.  In this case I would prefer to use a third page title rather than favor one of the two storylines. The third time I did it... yeah, that was just for my amusement, and it would be a simple matter to limit usage of alternate titles and use them only when needed. So... yeah. [[User:Ironwill|Ironwill]] 02:46, 24 November 2014 (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).
-	Hi Platypus; I got your message. Sorry about the mistake. If it ever happens again let me know and I'll fix it right away. I'm new to the editing, but I really try hard to be professional. Like I said, If there's any more problems, message me and I'll fix them right away. I really enjoy your story and I hope we get along. Please message me back soon so I know you got my message. - ThatOneWritter	+	Main NSFW content rules seem to be that

-	will you be adding more to rampage and smutty sex romp? Jay The man	+	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.
-	Hey platypus, just a quick question. I have a guy adding to my story using very little detail and it doesn't even follow the story. As the original creator of the story do I have the right to delete these submissions in favor of  more descriptive and frankly more linear additions that I plan on making?--[[User:Blackdragon25|Blackdragon25]] 21:47, 4 December 2014 (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.
-	I understand, i just wanne give it a try.	+
-	I dont even speak english.	+
-	but i want to compliment you for your story	+
-	Hello Platypus,	+	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).
-	thank you for your helpful (if terse) comments. I was unsure whether the status bar was needed as the second posted page obviously was meant as an ending. [[User:Kyrael|Kyrael]] 19:57, 19 December 2014 (UTC)	+
		+	If you don't mind my asking, why are you so hesitant to relocate?
-	Hi Platypus	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] ([[User talk:Pickles|Talk]]) 17:34, 8 August 2020 (UTC)
-	i'm new and have tried to label like you requested but cant.  can you help?	+
-	regards. wildside	+
-	Heya Platypus, I just wanted to ask you how high the writing standards are for this website, as I'm currently working on a CYOA story that I'd really love to post here... but sometimes my punctuation is lacking. I only ask because I've noticed a lot of people on this page complaining about you deleting their stories/pages. I would hate for that to happen to me.	+	: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.
-	Also I have another question, how easy is it to move a story to a different age category? - PurpleLemon	+
-	== Delete a page ==	+	: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.
-	Hey Platypus, since you're the only one who can delete pages can you please delete [[EW: Enter the briefing room]] (since I merged it into [[EW: On a tour of the Harry Potter studios‎]]). Thank you -- [[User:NiceGuy|NiceGuy]] 18:55, 1 February 2015 (UTC)	+	: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.
-	Hello there, I was wondering if you could help me delete two pages of my own story please, for I can't seem to delete them myself. The reason why I want them deleted is because I feel like they are not good ideas for branches anymore, as I once thought they were. They are: [[Lucid dreams/Male/Dream about the shower brunette| Dream about the shower brunette]], [[Lucid dreams/Male/Grab the towels| Clean up mess]]	+	: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.
-	I thank you for your cooperation. And I will edit in some new and (hopefully) better branches next time. --[[User:Chaomaster|Chaomaster]] 19:50, 21 February 2015 (UTC)	+	:--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] ([[User talk: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.
-	Platypus, I'm a long time admirer but new contributor to the site, i wasn't sure how else to respond to your message so I wanted to say thank you for your feedback and I'll make the necessary corrections but I am learning still and I ask patience on that score. I do not understand what i am not doing with the categories please explain to me what it is that i am not doing - i have looked at the tutorial and compared scripting and i do not notice what i am not doing that they were doing on this story i am working on please go into further detail and i appologize for the inconvenience [[User:Phreakinsane|Phreakinsane]] 02:20, 2 March 2015 (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.
-	I'm trying to make a Cool Effect bro	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 06:00, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
-	== Hope You Don't Mind ==	+	: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?
-	I hope you don't mind; but I used the warn template, for Nigfin, since he left several pages uncategorised. If you do, I apologise for stepping on your toes. - [[User:Neminis|Neminis]] 19:27, 9 March 2015 (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.
		+	:Also, do you have a category for delete requests? I'm sorry if this isn't the place to ask for them.
-	Hey platypus, I have a user Maxpower altering my pages with out permission. I know he is just trying to help but he is altering the context or the story and despite my attempts to get him to stop polightly he continues to do it. I don't mind him adding to the story but he has been asked not to alter mine or other's contributions to the story.  I would appreciate you having a word with him. Thanks --[[User:Blackdragon25|Blackdragon25]] 19:22, 16 March 2015 (UTC)	+	:In any case, thanks for helping me out! --[[User:Pickles|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?
-	In my defence of the above accusations, I would like to bring Blackdragon's attention to the message that appears at the bottom of the edit window. Specifically, if you don't want your writing to be edited mercilessly, then don't submit here. The majority of my recent edits have centered around spelling, grammar, and readability, although I admit that here or there I add some embellishment or make changes to improve consistency and continuity. No one else on here seems to have a problem with that and realize that wikis are designed with collaboration in mind, and collaborative storytelling only makes for better more well rounded stories. In any case, I submit that if he considers his writing to be a sacred text that he changes his story type to private. But I'm definitely done with his whining. He will see no further contributions from me.	+	== Found an ad ==
-	[[User:Maxpower|Maxpower]] 05:48, 17 March 2015 (UTC)	+
-	== Make it four ==	+	[[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.
-	No pages link to [[Make it four]]. I've asked the original creator what's up. Please don't just delete this; there's a whole string of pages I would like to see (re?)attached to the story. Writing you to see if there perhaps was some kind of technical hiccup that I couldn't find? [[User:Anedwcan|Anedwcan]] 16:09, 18 March 2015 (UTC)	+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 01:09, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
-	So, I just got that "second warning" of yours, but I have been titling every post since you gave me the first one. Can you please explain to me what it is I am not doing and possibly link me to the offending post? --[[User talk:Jemini|Jemini]]	+	[[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.
		+	--[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 03:41, 10 June 2020 (UTC)
-	Never mind, I figured it out. --[[User:Jemini | Jemini]]	+	[[User:Woodframe|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. --[[User:Pickles|Pickles]] 18:01, 11 June 2020 (UTC)

		+	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?

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.

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 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. Personally, this was my second-best interactive site before the wacko admin of Writing.com committed a free-user genocide and banned everyone else from entering the site, to mine crypto, I guess?

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.

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.

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?

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. Personally, this was my second-best interactive site before the wacko admin of Writing.com committed a free-user genocide and banned everyone else from entering the site, to mine crypto, I guess?

- TheGreenRaider 14:27, 26, Dec 2022(UTC)

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.

Specifically I'd like them to be renamed by increasing the ages of Miranda and Josh by a year and change blonde-haired to brunette.
