Blundering backwards in the dark

Has anybody noticed the latest improvements/maintenance to this f ing site. a bunch of my writing has mysteriously disappeared and I think I'm not the only one. I'm not technically minded but I know word documents dont need the same storage space as, say photo or film. the sites been down several times since I joined and there have been absolutley no improvements that I can discern. I've emailed thomas on a number of occasions only to be completly ignored. If this is your passion, Thomas, et all....well I wouldnt expect much out of yous in bed!

You're right Kieran - as far as I can make ot - all postings since the 14th December have 'disappeared' - maybe Thomas can restore them from back-up copies ?

Not only the last months writing has disappeared but a poem I posted last year is also mysteriously missing. Now I wouldnt mind so much but my poem 'Senor Jose Brown' spawned follow up pieces from other writers. Now the cohesion is blundered along with some kind of progressive history. So as an anology I could compare this site to a book thats been attacked by a savage rabid wolf who devoured some of the pages and left the rest scattered in a random jumbled mess. This demened rabid wolf then went to lay on a rock just to contemplate when would be a good time to make his next attack (licking his frathy lips, of course).


Maybe thomas can do lots of wonderful things but I wont be holding my breadth!

someone made non constructive comments on my work.

I was unable to reply to this person as I wasnt allowed.

surely if they are allowed to express themeselves arnt we allowed to do so in return.?

I wish i knew how this site worked.

I really like it but if destructive comments are allowed its going to interfere with writing. I realise its a difficult task moderating and producing this site and appreciate it very much. Maybe a strong worded reminder to the people who are trying to destroy it might make them think

Thank you

Roisi

Your right Roisiposy, I've been guilty myself of attacking Thomas but i would like to take the opportunity to apologise to him and just move on with the writing. Its easy to get hot headed some times, but if we can move on harmoniously we'll try.

Any one having problems posting replies to our over seas contributors, I surley am. the Mollom privacy security box with the letters and digits will not recognise code when i type it in (even correctly) the result is I can no longer post a comment to said 'victims' unfortunately. Could this be fixed I wonder? without leading to another gremlin in some other vicinity of the site.

I too am encountering this Mollum Security - a total pain in the a**.

But this time I seem to have managed to upload a posting.
