I may have just cut my own throat, but...

Having decided that enough is enough, I just sent this message to ALL the moderators on the Literotica Discussion Board:

Dear moderators,

I am writing to express my appreciation for all the work that goes into maintaining Literotica as a repository of erotic fiction, and to ask for a response on a matter that has been a problem for some time. It concerns the "spinoff" site of Literotica known as CHYOO, which some of you may not be aware of except as the extra three forums on the bottom of the Discussion Board Home Page. So that you may all be aware of what I'm talking about, CHYOO is a page that hosts interactive erotic fiction. The page itself can be found at www.chyoo.com.

The CHYOO homepage has always invited feedback, which we have provided. The discussion board includes a feedback forum, which we use. We never seem to get any sort of response to our feedback, whether through words or actions. When we send our stories in to CHYOO, they must be approved before appearing on the site just like in Literotica. There are those among us who have been waiting since last Christmas for approval or rejection of our stories. Many of the CHYOO contributors (including myself) have volunteered to help with the site, and these offers are met with the same silence. The frustration of this situation is approaching unbearable.

CHYOO and Literotica are both free services and I understand that the webmasters are under no real obligation to do anything for us at all. However, there comes a point where simple courtesy demands that someone offering a service respond to those who use that service, whether the customers are paying for it or not. And in a sense, some of us are paying for it - Literotica uses advertisements that I regularly click on in order to generate revenue for the site, and back when CHYOO advertised I did the same there.

I realize that most of you have nothing to do with CHYOO as a website, and you may be wondering why I am bothering you with this. Honestly, it is because I am at the end of my rope. Repeated inquiries through "proper channels" over the past year have gone completely unanswered since April of last year. Therefore, I am taking this action in the hopes that someone, anyone, will be able to get the attention of the right person and give we the CHYOO contributors some kind of answers to our questions. If the result if this action is the cancellation of my account for misuse, then so be it.

All that aside - all we want is some kind of response! ANYTHING would be an improvement over nothing. Is it so much to ask?

Sincerely,

Gystex

The sole example of a response regarding CHYOO I've ever received, in April of 2003, is here:

We shall see if this gets a response. If that response is the termination of my account, I'll try to log back on under another name and let everyone know.

naaa the wont banned you for that

it was pretty nice

 

[jakelyon]

Wow

Really, really well done. Well said, well written, and totally on point. No way anyone could take offense.

Thanks for the work you have put in on this!!

 

[niceguy2002tim]

I highly doubt they would ban your account. I don't see any problem with what you're doing. I am glad you're trying to get some kind of response. But, in the same sense... I am kind of pissed off that all your efforts and time has brought no response. What kind of site are they running here?

Hope something comes about.

They don't seem to running the site at all. I don't suppose we have a hacker somewhere who could bust in do an update? It would get something done and I doubt the "moderators" would even notice....

Gystex, my write-in vote for president of Chyoo is you.
(Hey, that's not a bad idea for a thread.....)

 

[gystex]

I've gotten three respnses from various moderators thus far, but not from Laurel or Manu. Essentially, they're saying that they sympathize, but there's nothing they can do about it. They also tell me that Laurel or Manu is the person to talk to.

In other words, no new info, but at least I'm getting some responses.

Well, thanks! I'd do it, too, if I had the html coding knowledge. All I can do is approve stories and such, but that would be a chore I would be willing to take on.

Best wishes

Like the others, there is little I can do but wanted to peek in and commend your tact and patience.

 

[niceguy2002tim]

Gystex,
I decided to write Manu and Laurel. I sent a Pm to both of them, as well as an e-mail to Laurel. Also, in the process of it, I wrote another e-mail to the literotica administator.

Just thought I'd share

[Ravenloft]

Just popping in to let you know I saw your pm as well, sadly, I do have to state that I as well cannot affect any real change in this matter either, the best you could do now is to send that pm as an email to Laurel's email account.

I wish you well.

Raven.
