Let’s set the ground rules.

1. You see a RedMuffin, you eat a RedMuffin. This is just standard procedure.

2. Iguanas are the way to the future. ?

3. That’s about it.

This aside, how have all of you been? I’ve decided to expand again, but more on the line that. I’m becoming tired of RoyalRoad.

In all honesty, it looks to be becoming an even more toxic place. Been noticing this trend throughout 2024.

Before, it was certain times of the year. Though, through 2024 to now. It looks to have become just too toxic, and the members look to be downplaying it, or not even noticing it.

Either way, I’ve just been searching platforms for a while now.

And found myself back here, the place looks even better than when I was last here.

Anyway, how have you all been? ?

Finally, someone made a thread where I could endlessly complain about the Royal Road!

I even posted the cat picture in advance in the anticipation of this moment!
Lol

Let loose I guess.

It is just something I noticed. To be honest, I haven’t even seen the mods on in 2024 I believe. Usually, they’d be on now and then.

Their support is still fast, but it kinda feels like they are pushing aside the toxicity of the platform.

Been a while since I saw ya, how you been?

It has been a cesspit since the Google contract.

There were fewer complaints about their rating system than it has been before they took a few more levels in [Greed], but it is mostly because most people realized that the moderation doesn't give a damn about readers or writers, just for the corporate money lines. Or maybe, MJ banned them all. That's also an option.

Last I remember, they made a partnership. The last notable ban I noticed was with ThisAdamGuy. I think his name was.

MJ might be acting under orders of Wing and Kana, so not sure how much he can be faulted in that.

Though, the bans have been questionable. The one I mentioned, the guy. He was pretty mild, and a good person on the forums.

Though, I think his ban was for being argumentative?

Which is strange, since in my experience the whole time. He wasn’t really argumentative.

And he wasn’t the first, there were quite a bit of bans for whatever reason.
On another hand, I noticed Scribblehub still has an update problem. As in, the updated stats of your story may not show, or gets mixed up, regresses, etc.

Two ways to adjust this.

1. Make a release.

2. Update a story part.

MJ has been on the rampage. Especially about things being "too sexual" and other random things. Argumentative guy is quite sensitive though, he called me condescending, and I am not even remotely the wrecking ball of hate the Roadster's big three is.

Or, alternatively, not post there.

Their massive user base is next to no use to you if they don't show your story to anybody for whatever reason, or if you have to constantly edit it as the rules and regulation tighten by the minute.

Yeah, but he ain’t ban worthy. At most gets a bit heated, but he’s fine. I’ve seen them let a lot worse go.

Also, second point was to Scribblehub, just something I noticed with how the story stats is updated. ?

The Scribble Hub update rate is one of the biggest mysteries of the universe.

How fast Scribble Hub updates?

Where is Alexander the Great buried?

Was there a real King Arthur?

What the "sexual" on the Royal Road even mean?

Is Moderator John an alien?

What are the rules on the Spacebattles?

Are there still a real birds?

We might never find out.

Just know, if you want to see current results on Scribblehub, update a story part and it’ll reflect the current results.

The easiest way actually, is to just give your story a rating and hit refresh.
Works always, 2 second update. Doesn't matter if you've rated before either.

The magic is revealed to us! O:

It has… more magic to show us?

— I suppose I’ll think about doing just that (updating my story, albeit with a new chapter) when my skull stops feeling like it’s simultaneously expanding at the speed of light and being sucked into a wormhole.

Infinite welcome is warranted, deploying mandatory greetings:

Fast since 2021.
Where is Alexander the Great buried?
In the soil.
Was there a real King Arthur?
In books.
What the "sexual" on the Royal Road even mean?
Anything with skin tone. Or pronounced trace of body figure.
Is Moderator John an alien?
Hee hee.
What are the rules on the Spacebattles?
Bang bang till it explodes.
Are there still a real birds?
Angry birds is proof of real birds.
We might never find out.
I answered that question already.

Classic RoyalRoad.

Gatekeeping and denial is a deadly combination.
Either way, I’ve just been searching platforms for a while now.
Have you tried in HoneyFeed? How about Pixiv?
And found myself back here, the place looks even better than when I was last here.
Welcome back!
Anyway, how have you all been? ?
Pretty much fine. After six years, I finished my novel with 21 books and 400+ chapters amounting to 1.2 million word count. ?

I've been well :blob_cookie:

New year, new goals, all that fun stuff.

Good luck with your expanding, and roadtrip around the internet's novel sites! (y)

@ThisAdamGuy actually posts on this forum now, and he hasn't done anything that has been ban worthy. If that is the same person who got banned there.

Anyway, it's good you came to this place. More and more people are showing up, and several people are coming out of retirement. While you are here would you like a bat cookie? They are freshly made and with less blood for human consumption.

I’d prefer a muffin. ?
