The new CHYOO is finally up. The off-site update is hosted here:
www.chyoa.com
Old usernames still work. Old stories remain standing.
Though it's no longer necessary, the old CHYOO2 remains standing. Anyone still be using it is encouraged to join us at the new site. Those who choose to remain, please be advised CHYOO2 is only semi-functioning and must follow the methods of overcoming CHYOO2 errors.
As the second part of the title asks, what belongs in a good CHYOO? What is already there and perfect as is? What needs some fine tuning? What does it lack? Do you disagree with your fellow posters? Please post this here, and hope either Manu or the dream team currently at work can make the ideal CHYOO.
I'll get us started.
New or improved features.
1.) Cookies; so that we can stay logged in for more than 15-20 minutes.
2.) A change password feature; so that anyone who loses their password isn't at the mercy of an automated one.
3.) A removal of the four thread cap; one that doesn't require a link work around.
4.) Contact via email should be optional and come with a subject.
5.) A Private Messaging system on site; so the spam filter doesn't hit the contacts from CHYOO, or in case someone doesn't want to give access to their email address.
6.) A ratings system without any programming problems.
7.) On that note, the ability to have the owners or moderators remove malicious feedback and ratings.
8.) Email verification; so that one email address translates to only one account.
9.) An instant log out for banished users; so the banishment is upheld instantly.
10.) A blocked list that can't be hacked; so that the editors word is maintained.
11.) Banishment should have a less than permanent option; so users can be punished and locked out, but lesser offenses don't lose hope entirely.
Features that should be left alone:
1.) The story map; so readers can get back into the story right where they stopped before.
2.) An unlimited number of stories per username.
3.) The ability to transfer stories from user to another.
4.) The ability for a contributor to edit its own work.
5.) Trusted status should continue.
6.) Moderators; self-explanatory.
Things that should be removed:
1.) Auto-approve and auto-promote; too easily exploited.
