  • Information Desk Archive Re: Closing the Chatroom?

    It's a good idea wolfie, but not possible. It'd be impossible to man a help-desk 24/7. All of YWS' staff (including me) are volunteer only. So requiring mods to be ...

    One thing to keep in mind is that if it were open only on weekends, we'd probably revert to the old chat. The current chat costs $30 a month, and ...

    Aye, Bolt; you bring up a good point. I doubt people would review more if we close the chat, but I agree people would write more. I fall for the ...

  • Information Desk Archive Re: Slow YWS?

    Lately, YWS has been slowing to a crawl (or just not loading at all) at certain times. This is supposed to happen every day at 7am GMT (8am BST, 3am ...

    Would chat mods be able to open the chat as well? Yep, definitely.

    Thanks for mentioning that Evi. If I did close the chat, it'd just return to the old system where chat was only open when a moderator opened it. Although, as ...

    Wow, results on this were all over the place! We had some members nominate members that haven't been active for months (*cough* Snoink! *cough*), and we had other members nominate ...

    Whatever it is Vernon, it seems to keep happening at the same time. I've reviewed the access logs each time, and it looks like it's an overeager Googlebot that's too ...

  • Information Desk Archive Re: Interested In How YWS Is Coded?

    I wouldn't use it as an example for a computer course! There's at least one security vulnerability, and like I said, it's very badly written. In fact, I'm wondering right ...

    A quick correction: it only costs points to post new storybook topics right now. To write a new literary work, you just have to have the right review ratio. So ...

    I've been gone for most of the past week and so unfortunately didn't realize that the Writers Literary Agency was running ads on YWS. The Writers Literary Agency is a ...
