    Sorry for the long delay in updating the thread. I've been overwhelmed with NaNoWriMo, so I haven't been doing too much on the internet including coming here. Everything has been updated, EXCEPT...

    The "Types A-I" post randomly deleted itself! I added the addition to the Alphabetacy category, clicked Save Comment, the whole post box went blank, confusedly clicked Cancel thinking I might have somehow accidentally cleared out all the content, tried to edit the post again but it said it couldn't find the post, refreshed the page, and it was gone! It was obviously some sort of glitch since as far as I can tell users aren't even able to delete their own posts. So, I've basically lost all the entries in that post :cold_sweat:

    Starting a new thread seems a bit too extreme to give me that posting space back. Right now, I'm thinking of combining the Hiatus and Discarded categories so I can move all the rest of the posts down by one to recoup that spot. I'll try to go through the thread to recover as many entries from the A-I post as possible, but it might be best for those who added theirs a while ago to give me the basic information once more.

    @iButterfree Oh no! :( I hope that things go better.
    When you get that error again, before going and refreshing the page, highlight all the words and then copy it and put it in a word document or something. Then you wouldn't lose the words! I do this sometimes, as the forums don't always like cooperating with me...

    As I've been working on recompiling the information to redo to the first category post, an idea keeps popping into my mind. What do you guys think of just getting rid of the Discarded category completely? I've found in my experience doing this that the challenges/stories that end up there rarely have enough content to really keep around for an infinite amount of time when they're not exactly likely to draw in new readers. The idea I'm contemplating now is just having the Hiatus category. All entries get a standard six month shelf life there. If there's no update for the challenge/story by then, I'll contact the authors. If they plan to keep working on it, they get another six months. If there's no response or the author doesn't plan to continue the challenge/story, the entry will be deleted entirely. I really would like the Directory to be centered more around active pieces of work instead of a graveyard of discontinued ones. There's a lot that should be in the Hiatus and Discarded that isn't since I've been giving everyone a free pass seeing as I've been super slow on my 100 Majesties BC too. I'm going to have the next update out soon though (either tonight or tomorrow), and after that is when I want to reorganize the Directory to make up for the post I lost.

    @iButterfree I'm partial to both sides, however, I agree with you that the thread should be focused on active/completed stories. As long as completed stories remain, I feel like it wouldn't be too bad.

    ^ What's been said, not to mention if someone were to pick a story back up after the 6 month mark, they could always comment again to be re-admitted, yes?

    @kethrydrake- Did you want those two moved out of Hiatus then? Side stories and the such I count as updates as well.

    Alright, so we're almost back to properly updated. I still need to go through a few more pages to see if there's any more entries to re-add to the new A-I post. I've got the new Hiatus post up, and all the stories that should be there are there. I'll be sending out the messages to those who have gone over the sixth month mark soon. I did go ahead and check for potential newer updates on my own, so some people will be out of that danger for a bit longer.
