Stories lost

[Imhotep]

Yeah, at this point I'll assume their gone for good. I'm not happy. These were my first two stories here, and I enjoyed them, if nobody else did. Anyway I'm not gonna go on some tirade, and blame anybody, suffice it to say Chyoo2 is screwed up,and maybe one day it will improve. Thanks to all, and I respetfully encourage you to contribute to my remaining stories: "Weekend in an All girls dorm", "Party at Marcie's house" and my latest "Formerly prom night" - Imhotep

scary stuff...

hello,
Imhotep, sorry to hear about your stories. I wonder what happened to them and how come they vanished. It's like a wake up call to everybody. I would be so pissed off if any of my stories disapeared. I've spent so much time and put a lot of effort into them. So for the way you are taking things is amazing. Perhaps keeping backup pages of your threads would be a good idea. I think I might do that. I need to get a CD burner first, those CDs hold a hell of a lot more than a disc!

What's going on?

This CHYOO has more problems than the old one. Stories being deleted is a huge problem. Is there even a way to contact the CHYOO admins about this problem? Like Tim said, I'd recommend you make backups of all the threads for your stories.

I'd like to add that I save my threads in HTML format. It's a lot easier than copying and pasting every thread into MS Word or notepad. It easy, just go *File* then *Save as*, then give the file name, the title of your thread. When you want to view the thread, just open it up with your web browser.

I thought you were crazy but...

I just had my total thread count drop by 3. When I was on yesterday it stood at 452, this morning it is 449. I haven't figured out yet what disapeared but I am sure it won't be long. Hopefully something I have a backup to.

This is something that needs to be fixed!!

The Story Eaters

I just had my total thread count drop by 3.

Mine just dropped by another 3 also. Two were from Gystex excellent stories Sappho's Amulet & The Isle of Lesbos both now deleted (a tragedy if they are not backed up). The other was from Ooohkitty's The Underground, also gone. Her one-page epic whatsit - The Last Man also gone (though thankfully not Stonewall Mall - yet [hope Kendahl keeps back ups!])

Incidentally, for future reference, if anybody needs to rebuild, I keep backups of all of my threads (and some others too).

A black day for the Chyooniverse...

 

[daciasdesire]

Does anyone have a list of what stories have disappeared so far? Sappho's Amulet is quite definately gone.

I am quite alarmed by all this news.

Aaaahhhhh good to be back.....(I hope)

They weren't. If CHYOO isn't able to restore them, they are gone.

I'm about this close to giving CHYOO the finger and logging off for good. One expects that they might have problems from time to time, and even lose data, but they don't even have the courtesy to tell us what's going on.

I just sent a polite, restrained E-mail to them asking them to please explain what's happened. If they do not answer it within a week, I will send a slightly harsher, more insistant E-mail informing them that they're being very discourteous. Following that one, I will likely send a rude, nasty E-mail telling them what to go do with themselves.

(Incidentally, if I leave, I will pass on editorship of my remaining stories to someone else or simply open them to auto-approval).

Very strange

My Sappho's Amulet threads are what disapeared. So far I cannot find any other threads that are gone.

I have not seen anything like this in my time on Chyoo, I hope they explain it to you Gystex as I don't want to see you go. I can add back the threads I wrote as I have them backed up if you want to try and restore the story. Let me know.

Maybe its an anti-lesbian revolt

Good to see your back (even better to see your front) I was getting quite worried.

BTW is it my imagination, or did you just delete a reference to where you've been?

yikes

That has not happend yet to me :(knock on wood) . what besides back ups can i do to stop this:confused

 

[niceguy2002tim]

I thought...

Hello,
I was reviewing my threads as it says that I lost a thread somehow. My count dropped by one. I haven't been able to determine what thread disapeared yet, I still have mine for Sappho's Amulet. I think tomorrow I will backup my threads. Hopefully, tomorrow won't be too late.
