Nitpick: That's a cultural thing, not a human male thing. Other cultures have had other attitudes, which is why old paintings and statues of women tend to show them as chubbier than modern standards of beauty allow for.
That's because if you're chubby you could likely survive child birth and ha the money to buy enough food to get fat. In the modern world beauty defines itself not from those but from above average physical fitness and intelligence.
 
I've waited a long time for this. And the best part about it? The Grayven haters don't have accounts here, at least for now, so I don't have to worry about that multi-page shitstorm anymore either.
I don't know how to break this to you but they will probably follow story here. Sorry mate.


Doubt it. Even now the SB version of this thread is literally just saying exactly what he did, just playing chicken with the mods. It's pretty funny, actually.
What I am doing right now I think.


Most people who read his works on SB spend hours a day on it and have been there for years. Zoats story briliant as it is is a 5 minute a day read. Its nice daily read but people are more invested in the community than bandwagoning an author. We are an audiance not groupies. Saying "fuck the community my work is too good for this place" is a very disapointing attitude to a place that helped him create this story and the spacebattlers that were invested in the little community built up around his daily story. The temp ban and update disruption was annoying but mild disruption to us; ditching the whole forum over it just tears apart the community far more than a 1 day delay.
Saying "fuck the story my Community is too good for it you should bow before it and beg to return" is an idiotic attitute and more to point SV and SB are pretty much are same Community so no if you want to go that petty and tribalistick you can do that somewhere else. Like SB.

We on the other hand just follow it wherever it is posted like sane people who wants to read this one story.
 
Because jumping around different places when one has everything you follow and the other is just that one story means that the once daily ritual of his updates appearing in our alerts becomes "oh yeah that story might catch up some time"

I... I'm sorry, what? This post makes no sense. I can't have been the only one to have figured out how to make post updates appear in emails, which IMO is a far superior option anyway because it collects all your alerts for all of your sites anyway. So your complaint has absolutely no substance if you're aware that you can get emailed alerts.

That was just bad artists with bad tools.

The good ones got as close as could reasonably be gotten with the tools at the time to the same standards as are seen today.
 
Leaving the forum is quite literally the only meaningful avenue of protest available to me. If you have another suggestion I'm happy to hear it.
You could cancel your subscription? I don't really care about the venue one way or another, as I have an account on both sites and will follow the story wherever it may go, but I'm just pointing out that you do actually have another meaningful avenue of protest. SB's Creative Writing section is also far more active than SV's, so you may get less traffic over here, for whatever that's worth.
 
Damn it.

Ah, it's whatever. I think judging by how this last bit ended, Grayven's about to be in for some serious difficulties. Not much ground to argue about.
Yeah, pretty much. He's clued into what the readers knew, his Grayven act's actively made it impossible for the easy solution to happen, and now he's in hot water. Probably still going to power through but his routine's cost him something for once.
 
So I've had an account on this site for about one year, six months, and eighteen days. Meanwhile, this thread has existed for less than twelve hours. I'm pretty sure that SV has sent me more alerts pertaining to this thread than everything else they've alerted me about combined.

False Zoat, you have done well. Your predecessor may be dead, but the story lives on.

Is there really no way to transfer the Story Only thread over automatically? Putting entire episodes into single posts will really strain computers. I mean a single page in the Story Only thread will have an entire novel's worth of words in there.

You could take the issue up with one of the administrators.

Contrary to what the moderator told you and you told us in the SB thread if an admin is abusing their power so long as you take the issue to the other administrators they can be overruled.

I would suggest Isil`Zha or Hollewanderer.

So long as you make your case they are reasonable and usually listen.
 
Oooh I don't need an SB account anymore! Not like I used it for anything else, anyway.
 
I got a Temp ban ove SB WTR thread.

I mean I get it what I posted could be taken as baiting mods which was not my intention exactly but I am willing to take responsibility for it since it can be taken like that.

Problem is I got banned for mentioning Milenium Falcon.

I mean WTF.
