As everyone knows by now, the Young Writers Society has implemented two new policies in the past month that strongly impact the review system. These are: 1. The review ratio ...

Thank you all, and don't worry about converting it to GMT. I much rather people just say their local time with their timezone. A lot of times, people get the ...

I once did look into a time limit on the current chat; that is, if you were inactive for 30 minutes, you got automatically booted. But, it's not an option, ...

Well. I'd have to say that was rather... pointless. Why would anyone put a website up on twitter? It's an annoying site I say. What next, Facebook? Tala, twitter is ...

Thanks for mentioning that Evi. If I did close the chat, it'd just return to the old system where chat was only open when a moderator opened it. Although, as ...

I'm becoming very concerned that the people I see in the chatroom at 11 am are the same people I'm seeing at 2 pm, 5 pm, 8 pm, etc. It ...

Wow, results on this were all over the place! We had some members nominate members that haven't been active for months (*cough* Snoink! *cough*), and we had other members nominate ...
