Welcome to Thetis! I hope you enjoy your stay here

Most people can vote now... It's just the newbies from the last 2 weeks that can't.

I'm all for the frequent and quick use of the death penalty in almost all murder cases.

http://www.365gay.com/newscon04/07/072704alaMurd.htm I was reading this news article. Aside from the obvious loss of a fellow human, what could possibly motivate these people? So he's gay? He was supporting them apparently... and they killed him for being gay? What the hell? I hope they gas these morons.

All 3 stories have been added.

Attention members... due to a security feature on the new board software called "Converge", ironically supposed to make things easier, has prevented me from updating the board. I've spent the last 3 hours trying to make it work and it's going to take some time. So, new members that have registered since we've updated the board software will be out of luck for the time being in regards to voting on stories. Old members won't have a problem... unless they change their passwords. Then I doubt it will work anymore. Hopefully this weekend I can get it fixed. Myr

Now you know why Now, having had a great big hand in the programming of the archive and selecting the features availible, let me just say that I use them all. The total view count is a great feature, but I realized fairly quickly that it had a major flaw. If I add a great story today, it is going to be some time before it ends up with a lot of views, no matter what. So, we came up with the wonderful average of "Views per Day" I usually sort the archive by ratings (I look things over to see who has 10's and to see if those 10's have more than 1 vote) and I look at views per day to see who is most popular at the moment. Last, I look at total views to see who is the most popular over time. The rating system would work a lot better if people not only took the time to vote but to also leave comments about why they voted the way they did. It might even help the author a) improve write more. hey... now would also be a good time to remind everyone that we are always looking for new stories for the archive...

hmm... you're right... it's not there.

Ethan, You need to enter your board username and password. Then you can vote. Myr

What the Archive's programmer said

mmmmm a Scot.

Nifty does a damn good job at what they do. Which is provide a free place to air a massive volume of stories. You shouldn't fault them for that. Besides, one person's trash is another's treasure. There are some stories in the archive here that are highly rated that I wouldn't read if you paid me, for example.

I've give extra money if he delivers my pizza pizza.

Yes. It is always some teen. Though the quality there varies. This is the first time I took a long look

So... I drove a short distance into town to go to the village hardware to get some eye hooks to install my new projection screen. On my way home, going through the center of town, I see this teen, 16 I'd say, standing on the street corner. The top of the sign reads "Hot and Ready!" I was like... Holy Shit! Truth in advertising. Now... it turns out that it was for Little Ceasar's Pizza. I do like that they use really cute guys instead of girls for holding the sign though... lol :ranger:

YOU LEFT IT THERE?! Cruel... cruel cruel. Good chapter chunk anyway.

Welcome aboard!

HA! I'm sure I wouldn't make a good president... I'm too full of common sense and too little diplomacy. (ex: My foreign policy would be We'll mind our business, you mind yours.)

Hello everyone! I'm looking for some folks for the following: 1) Finding Stories for the archive. This job will involve lots of reading and emailing of authors. I'd really like to get back to adding a lot of stories to the archive. 2) Official Welcomer. Someone to send greetings via PM to all new members to welcome them to the fold and encourage them to post. 3) Reviewers - We need more people to write reviews for the Story Review forum. You can write your own review for any story you want (even one that has already been reviewed). We do have a simple format to follow to keep consistency. If you'd like to help me keep Gay Authors open, please provide suggestions or your time to help us improve this place. According to the server logs, the most popular stuff on GA is our Links and our archive (Aside from the hosted authors). the Story Reviews get a lot of hits as well. Myr

PoD 30 is in process...

I tried phpBB... the last one I saw was not to my liking. IPB has done a great job. Some things are a little tedious (making color skins for example) but doable.
