Is this the end of Literotica?

[Softly]

When one tries to see a story in the "Top List" of Mature or the Romantic section, you are confronted with a "FILE DOWNLOAD."

It states: "Catororgory_toplist php from www. Literotica.com."

It is, of course, the type of fraud ones sees at sites that one expects to see when that are sidetracked into a crap site.

Laurel, tell me that it is not true.

If in fact you are going to go the route of the download, with all the attached virus, and cookies, please advise me of that fact. I will then ask you to remove all my stories from this site.

I never asked you for a dime for my stories. I would not accept payment. I have suffered through the crap that your employee, Lasher, has handed out to me, as well as to other Authors. I told you that he was a cancer.

But, I will not sit still if you begin to present the viewers with a fraud. I wonder if you have sold the site to an Asshole like Lasher, and have just walked away.

Tell me that I am wrong, Laurel.

Softly

THE END --- ---

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of ev'rything that stands
The end

No safety or surprise
The end
I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway West, baby

Ride the snake
Ride the snake
To the lake
To the lake

The ancient lake, baby
The snake is long
Seven miles
Ride the snake

He's old
And his skin is cold
The West is the best
The West is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where are you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
Father?
Yes, son?
I want to kill you
Mother, I want to...

Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

This is the end

Shh, JD! She's serious.

I hope it isn't so. I'd hate to download another darned virus because I'm such a pervert!

Uh, that's not happening to me when I try it.

I'm the master of the search engine. Lyrics are my specialty.

 

[Softly]

May be just me.

I just put a new computer on line. Many of the programs do not yet work well. But, that is a strange screen to be presented with, what say?

 

[GuyJD]

Something's not working right on your computer, Softly.

 

[Softly]

Thank you JD

I sure hope that you are right. I love Literotica. It is my second home.

Thank you all for checking it out. It is late, and I am tired.

 

[TygerEyez]

'Night, Softly!!! *watches*

Okay, JD, it's safe to sing now.

Just how did that particular diddy go again?

 

[Laurel]

Hi Softly,

I appreciate your concern, but I assure you that we have not changed anything that should lead to the behavior you mention in your post. Tens of thousands of people click on those links every day without experiencing the behavior you describe. I personally just went and clicked on those stories through the toplists and they worked as expected. It is possible that there is some issue between your browser and our site, but I can assure you that there have been no changes on our end. It sounds like your browser might not be associated with .php files or something like that. I'm not an expert on these type of problems, but I would be more than happy to look into it if you could send me a list of specific pages that are giving you trouble.

As far as us selling our site to Slash from Guns N Roses, I'll call our legal dept. in the morning and find out if that's true. Until then, I have no comment.

I'm just kidding, of course. Lasher was never our "employee", and though I have no idea what he's up to these days, I seriously doubt he has any interest in buying Literotica. Regardless of what any member of Guns N Roses might tell you, this site is not for sale - nor has it ever been. Manu and I love Literotica, and we will be here for many moons to come - much to the chagrin of storylovers everywhere.

Please let me know about those links that were giving you problems. We'll get it sorted out.

As always, I appreciate your comments, and please keep them coming.

Laurel, my toilet makes a really funky noise when I flush it, could you check that out and get back to me?

Thanks babe, you're the best. Ciao.

~whistling long and low~
Wow.
Laurel is *good*.

 

[Softly]

Laurel, thank you!

When I am tired. It is 1:52 Am here, I tend to make harsh decisions. I just tried to use "Romance" and "Mature" top list sites. In both cases, I was confronted with the download problem. In the case of all the other catorgories, they came on screen in a normal manner.

It must be something wrong with my computer. I have spent six hours re-installing software today.

Thank you for the quick responce. I am sorry that I made a fuss, but I hate the "download" screens.

I think Manu already knows that.

I once had that problem when visiting moviepost.com.
Maybe you should check to make sure that your Internet Explorer had downloaded.

 

[April]

Christ, is she on about Lasher again? He's been gone for oh, I don't know. Close to a year now?

 

[Wizard]

Gee..................................I didn't know Slash was intrested iin us...........lol

 

[Cheyenne]

Damn

I was hoping the part about Lasher being an "employee" was actually true! Some of us LIKED Lasher, you know. Not that I want him to own Lit, but it would be nice to see him posting here again.

Lasher vs. some of the more caustic posters here would be great fun to watch.

Posted for no other reason than I like the song...

SNOOPY VERSUS THE RED BARON

The news had come out in the First World War
The bloody Red Baron was flying once more
The Allied command ignored all of its men
And called on Snoopy to do it again.

Twas the night before Christmas, 40 below
When Snoopy went up in search of his foe
He spied the Red Baron, fiercely they fought
With ice on his wings Snoopy knew he was caught.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ring out from the land
Asking peace of all the world
And good will to man

The Baron had Snoopy dead in his sights
He reached for the trigger to pull it up tight
Why he didn't shoot, well, we'll never know
Or was it the bells from the village below.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man

The Baron made Snoopy fly to the Rhine
And forced him to land behind the enemy lines
Snoopy was certain that this was the end
When the Baron cried out, "Merry Christmas, my friend"

The Baron then offered a holiday toast
And Snoopy, our hero, saluted his host
And then with a roar they were both on their way
Each knowing they'd meet on some other day.

Christmas bells those Christmas bells
Ringing through the land
Bringing peace to all the world
And good will to man
