is it just me or has there been a bit of a recession as far as posts? if there has been i think it might be because of midterms coming up.

Ermm... that AND (in my opinion) because of the new rule that you must review two things before you post one and that if you're going to post a story, poem, or something like that, it's going to cost you like... 150 points.

By the way, Monki, the two to one ratio is not a new rule, and has been in place every since YWS started. The 150 points system is simply to ensure people actually do it, because there has been a lot of ignoring going on.

I think it's just generally exams. I certainly haven't posted as often as usual this week.

What in the world are you all talking about? January is thus far on track to have well over 15,000 posts. Next highest? Last November with 11,800.

Hahah, Nate, aren't people silly?


There has been an overwhelming amount of activity! I didn't even know there were midterms? Perhaps for some but for me I won't have tests (major ones) for a bit. :D Thank goodness!

Though I do have an ACT to take. *shudders*

Firestarter > I do know that the two to one ratio has been in effect for quite a long time, I just mean that with the new changes and such, the two to one ratio is just adding to some peoples frustrations. :x

it was last week where it seemed posts were down abit in the area i visit the most. (fantasy) we were getting only like 5 submited posts a day, when before i remember us getting about 10 or so. either that or people are submitting more work in different genres.

I might be just insane or something though so....
