Site Cleanup
🕑 Added 2020-05-19 23:21:45 +0000 UTCI've been doing some spring cleaning on my website and there will have been some changes you might have noticed. Here is a summary.
Removed Old Posts
Old posts, such as the parts of Chapter 10, and the entire Chapter 12 are now removed. Normally, old posts were supposed to be removed and moved to an archive gallery (Like Chapter 5, 6 and 8) after a few months passes. I've delayed this process long enough. Chapter 12 has been online for more than 4 months. I delayed archiving because I thought people could use some extra entertainment, and was also a bit lazy.
Also, the older images I've uploaded on my site were not optimized for the web. They were PNGs that were more than 4mb each. That really drove up loading time. I want to remove all the old oversized images and replace them with JPGs that have the same dimension, quality and appearance, but with a much smaller file size.
Right now it is just more efficient to delete all the old posts than to fix each post one by one. If I re-upload the old posts, these will be in galleries like Chapter 5, 6, and 8.
Removed "Related Posts" Feature
Related posts is a feature on Wordpress that I can't seem to control. The related posts are assigned based on some weird rule that I haven't been able to set myself. So the "Related Posts" are not always related, and it just created more confusion. Related posts are now taken out.
Locked Archives and Loyalty Points Suspended
I'm abandoning the Loyalty Points system of unlocking archives. Points are rarely used by people in the first place, and new users are often confused about an additional set of rules of what they should have access to. In addition to this, it's too cumbersome to manually update points, and I don't have an automatic solution in place. So Loyalty Points are going to be set aside for now. If you have ideas or suggestions of a replacement system for this, please let me know. Or if you were interested in the points but just didn't get to use them yet, let me know. Let's figure out something.
Offline Chapters
Chapter 9, 10, and 12 will be offline till I re-organize my stuff. And honestly, Patreon is very uneasy about the very kinky stuff so these chapters might be offline for a while. This is also why some posts like the more recent stuff from Chapter 10 are offline as well.
New Content
I will be focusing more on creating new content as that is my priority and that is what you are subscribed for. The older content is just a bonus add-on to your benefits. So please understand that my main goal is to add to the existing stories.
Sorry for the inconvenience. I'll post more content this month for than is planned to make it up to you all.
