so i keep trying to post responses to responses in blogs (like responses to my blog posts, or someone else's) but the site tells me that i have to "specify a valid author" with the problem number "4192". anyone know what that's all about? i want so very badly to be able to communicate with everyone here on the community site, but that's a mite bit difficult when i can't respond to blog posts.

I am getting a little more used to this new layout, but there are still a few questions nagging at the frontal lobe of my brain.

first off,
Emiva's bio.

It used to work just fine. I'd edit it, and it would appear at the top of the diary entries like it should. Typically normal. But that was with the old layout.

Now, it appears that even when I selected it to be placed in the "Biography" category, it still will not show up on that page. Even if I click on "recent posts", it fails to appear.

Does this mean I must start over with a new page? I kind of like having the comments, from like the beginning of 2008 and such on Emiva's bio. Anyways,

Any help would be much appreciated. Happy hoolidays! And it's snowing here in MA. 8D -luffs snow on you- WHEE

I LOVE YOU.

How much I love, respect, and appreciate ALL OF YOU. I could never express it well enough.

In all the years that I have been an RPer and Writer, and in all the communities I have been part of in the several years that I've been online... TEF has been the most welcoming, open minded, comfortable place I've ever been to. It's a better place than home.

It's suprising but lately I've been thinking about the communities and sites that I used to frequently visit, and even assistant manage/manage. I spent five years running a Sonic the Hedgehog based RP site which had a community that never really passed 31 or so people, and said site was hacked about once or twice a year, usually by one of three people from a rival site that most people decended from including myself. In the first few years it was a paradise, the community and site I managed, but eventually the less approachable people from places I left joined and in time made the place a living hell that I now question my own reasoning for in keeping alive. In the last two years and after multiple remodelings, I had become a very untrusting person; very cynical and easilly provolked. I had a long run of depressions that would occasionally break and switch into a frenzy of updates and such that once completed, looked great. Then in those last two years, claims started up that the place was 'dieing'. Even though it was still remotely active. These claims eventually fell threw, wearing everyone down until most stopped comming. But at the same time that these claims began, I personally came under a lot of fire as the manager. A group of about 7 or 8 people (a substantial number in a small community which had dwindled to maybe 12 or 13), had begun to take every chance they could to pick at my work and heavilly critique it, and me personally. In the final year of my own activity there, before I joined TEF, I was almost constantly under verbal/typed attack, rather than critique.
