Storybooks are free once again... kinda. It costs nothing to make a post in storybooks, although you're not going to get any points either. The cost of starting a new storybook has been dropped from 500 points to 100 points.
Why the Change?
Whenever one forum threatens to take over YWS, we implement a pay to post policy there. In that way, activity is redirected to other areas of the site; thus balancing everything out again. After a while, we drop the pay to post once it's clear things have settled down.
For those who remember, we did this with The Lounge and Randomness as well. At one time, those two forums threatened to take over the entire site, and then we made it such that you had to pay points to post there. After a year or so, we dropped it, and activity in those forums has been fairly normal ever since.
