Story Site Issues, Etc.

[Rasputtin]

I seldom check back here for news. That is because it was a bustling, actively site once and now it's rundown. I have a few observations but I don't want to blame it on Torq.

Well, I consider this site more or less dying. Sorry to say that, but it has been going downhill for longer now.

There are only occassional story updates now (the last had a hiatus of two and a half months), where there used to be at least one update a week. The forums weren't working for over a year and haven't been back to normal since then (the activity is, measured against the former times, nearly zero). The site is the same, where story reviewing still isn't working properly (SQL-errors). Some authors wrote on their blogs, that their stories weren't published here, too.

I know, that a site like this is needing time to be maintained properly, so I don't want to blame Torq. But what has happening to bdsmlibrary is a damned shame, as it WAS by far the best site on the internet for bdsm stories and discussions.

I still hope, it will come back to it's former glory.

I have to say I've been very disappointed as well. Definitely was the best story site out there. To be fair - they did get the reviews back up but still with a ton of SQL erros. The amount of money this site could make would be mind blowing if only it was given a little love.

I think there are people out there with a chip on their shoulder...people with hacker abilities. Every time Torq and crew get the site up and running, someone disrupts it. It takes time for things to build back up. At one time, it was quite busy. I know things come and go in cycles, and I for one will keep checking to see how things are progressing. I still read the stories, and still poke through the forum.
