Edit: now gone, maybe a lag between them being booted and the posts disappearing ?
Possibly, the spammer didn't exactly find a way around the block, he's just using previously created accounts.

I can tell because the previous one was from earlier this month, and this one is from January.

It's only a matter of time before they run out of accounts.

Things are a little wonky.

I'm getting Thank you's for other peoples posts. For example,

Sparkar, NudeBaG and Thermarble has thanked you for this post: "The Challenge. (some adult content)"


When I clicked on the notification, it takes me to the story which has only one post and I haven't posted in that thread.

That one's on me, I missed it when I checked the new accounts and let it through.

It's back.

Is it possible to limit new members to only 3 posts?

Yep TeenFans account is back but all his stories are missing large chunks in the middle, stories are going from chapter 6 to chapter 38 for example.

The whole site feels buggy, it says there are no posts in this section of the forum for me.
Hello folks. I was able to get back in.
But as Trundle mentioned, most of my stories are not Fully back. The first two pages of each topic are there, as well as the final two pages.
Everything in the middle is missing.

"The Chocolate Factory Fiasco" is missing chapters 6-21
This is what I would call a Fiasco.
The same with other stories missing the entire middle sections. "The Strange Girl" is missing chapters 15-46.
There is something very Strange about it.
Is there any way to bring back the missing parts?

I wrote these stories for fun, not to be seen by the eyes of "Normal mortals" in the public arena. This site is the only place most of these
stories exist. It would be a shame if they can't be recalled.
I doubt I would take the time and effort to rewrite them from scratch.

I want to thank the readers of my stories. I got lots of thanks and praise (the last I noticed it I was at 3,400 thanks). Specifically, from
Themarble, Jeepman, Trundle and Drwhofanj
I will be considering if I'll be able to continue as a contributor.

I am glad I found this site. I had lots of fun with it. Working on these fantasy fictions has gotten me back into full gear with writing technique
and the ability to write almost daily. Maybe I'll get around to doing those novels I have been needing to get to.
I'll be reading what people write here. The rest...we'll see.

I hope the middle sections of the stories are recoverable and I hope you do continue to post here! I know many people, including myself, would be very sad to see your creative writing no longer coming here.

I've been a big fan of yours, and I know there are others on here!

I hope your reflection comes back positive and you post!

I echo Marble's sentiments when it comes to Teen Fan and his wonderful stories! Hopefully all his stories can be recovered in full and I can only hope he chooses to continue writing and posting here.

Great to see you back on here with a message.

Your writing has been a joy to read over the years it really has, it's an awful situation that your work has been lost through no fault of your own. I totally understand why it's made you lose motivation for writing.

I hope it's just temporary and you return to writing on here eventually, you've been badly missed. It's a relief to know at least you've got your account back and you're ok.

Thanks for your stories.
