I'm starting to get disappointed with the board. I know I'm no writer and the 3 stories I posted were not well received because of it, but I see this board becoming a place for ads only. Where did all the fantastic writers go? Heck, for that matter, where did the bad writer's go? That was at least better than the ads for video companies. If someone wants to post a match on here great, but I don't think we need ads for pay companies. THey used to be banned. What Happened????
I agree on all parts, I am no writer neither but I guess somebody said it was okay. I know I don't put up with spam in my club
Maybe send MikeJV a pm?

Oh and don't write for others man, write for yourself. If they like it fine, this isn't supposed to be a job so enjoy whatever you write. I know my stuff sucks but I enjoy putting it out there even if nobody likes it.

I can't speak for every writer, but it feels like a waste of time when you spend hours on a story, it's read 800 times and you get zero comments back. It's not unusual for a well received story here to get less than 3 replies. When I publish something here it normally took an hour a page to generate. For most stories that is all you did that day. All of us fail to comment sometimes, (myself as well). That said no response is intepreted as "no interest". What would a writer feel if he got 200 replies for 800 views? Would he want to write more? Just my two cents. -Halhow3
Thank you for speaking up. I've been trying to get that crap off this board for weeks. The primary guy doing it just runs around to every adult board he can selling the same videos over and over. I guess he got tired of his own board getting no attention.
Glad to see enough people finally spoke up and got it all removed.
I know the reason I like this forum style is because I *can* see how many views my story get even though nobody replies on it. I think 99% of readers are casual viewers, not trolls like me. Just seeing the views around 600 I feel better about posting it in since I don't have that option in my yahoo club and I know Miles told me about how a lack of response is frustrating.Originally Posted by halhal3
I guess it comes down to everybody being busy that's why I think nobody's been posting anywhere. It's cool to see new stories on Seaking but there sure isn't a boom of writers like there once was.

I suppose i am part of the problem too I read the stories and don't comment often. From now on I will make an effort to comment on every one I read. Stone, in my mind you are one of the top writers. Your Cherry series is still one of my top 5. I visit your Yahoo site often looking for new material. I consider you and Mr. Cage my favs. Unfortunately I am not creative and the only stories I posted were of my wife and my real matches. Apparently no one was interested in "cockfights" at the time, and felt my description of my wife's battles boring. I did get responses and they weren't pleasant, so I keep my accounts to myself.
Thanks to all who agree with me.
