Well, to be honest, as a dues paying member of the Church of the Bowler Fucker I can't really say that I'm a follower of the Holy Monkey.  Religious differences and all, y'know.  But what can I say, I like bananas.  And feces throwing.  Especially flaming feces throwing.

I'm weird that way.

I'll see what I can do about working that in somewhere. Thanks for the idea. Gotta keep things fresh!

Doubt any of you still recall me however, I just wanted to lend my support to the "comments" option.  I know back when I was still writing here, my largest concern was if anyone was actually reading what I wrote (for better or worse).  I see this option not only helping authors communicate with others on story ideas, but also allow the community to possibly help new authors as well.  

I believe the reason we are hearing such a large outcry from the "comments" gallery and not from the "tags" group is authors (who would have accounts on the plume) are desiring the comments.  On the other hand, a feature like "tags" would be a favorite for readers, who would rather get to what their pleasures are and not have to sift through a thousand stories to find them.

Anyways, that's my two cents.

I'd love a feature that showed each author which of his/her past episodes was read (and by whom) since the last time he or she has logged in. That would be fun and informative.

Unfortunately, I don't have any access to information about what episodes have been read.  Though maybe if I talked to the sysadmin, there would be a way to get to it...

Related to the earlier parts of this thread -- yes, I KNOW I said I would do the "comments" option 2 years ago and haven't delivered it yet.  I did a fair bit of development on it in 2008, but then got busy with work and it sort of slid aside... I'll get back to it!

Content tags on episodes is winning.  
I don't really have any comment on that. Besides that it's foolish. Oops. Did I type that or just think it? Anyway, yeah. It's also *yawn* oh geez. That was rude. Almost as if the content tags bored me so much that I started to drift off. Wouldn't want to give that impression. What was I saying? Oh, yes...so "comments on episodes" is winning! Great news. That will really enable an even greater sense of community as authors lend their 2 cent's worth to other author's work on an episode-by-episode basis. Oh, wait. "Comments on episodes" is not winning. My mistake. My eyes must be tired. Content tags. Right. Everybody's been crying out for content tags for years, haven't they? I think my memory is going. I can't really remember many people asking for content tags at all. But, they're winning. People are voting. Democracy in action. And the majority is always right, aren't they. Aren't they?

 

I quite like this. Just found it again after all this time. Comments on episodes seems so natural now, so much a part of the BE Addventure, that it's difficult to imagine it almost lost out to CONTENT TAGS. What?!!?
