The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Fanfiction.net messing up

I'm curious if anyone else is having this problem - it suddenly will no longer convert any word files due to an unknown error when you try to post your story on the website. I wonder if their converter is just down or if its a problem with my computer.

I'm not sure if it's the same problem you had, but for some reason I'm unable to view some of the recently-added fanfics. (I would like to read karkovice's latest fanfic, but I can't due to some sort of error (the error says "Story Not Found. Unable to locate story with id of [id number]."))

It's possible that he could have removed or editted it and the changes haven't taken effect yet.

You're possibly right. I just checked again and I can read it now. (I don't have time now so I'll have to read it later)

My experience is that FF's and FP's search engine is messed up all the time.
However FP had a rather big problem lately. It's like some stories/chapters dissappears, but then they pop up again, but then something else dissappears.
I'm beginning to get a bit annoyed on that account.
Though there are things they done better as well. But I hope they fix the problems soon.

fanfiction always works great,but not fictionpress the reason is that if you search for an author it will say its search engine is down....and it happens 24:7.
