There is something you'd like to ask, suggest or tell us about? Then this is the right place to let us know.

Even one a day has to be a bit fast. I'm happy to build up the site, but there's no benefit to just slamming the front page with new old stuff.
If I had not decided to leave the forum behind, I would have introduced a new rule that would have limited the number of stories per user to two per day and five per week, contest stories not included. But the forum is so inactive that, frankly, it doesn't matter currently if you post more stories than that.

Long term, maybe not. But as others have said, too fast and readers lose track, and I want readers! I want people to enjoy what I'm offering. So far, I'm getting that, and my growing reputation (more please!) attests to that. So tomorrow I'm skipping a new story. I've got them, but they're not going anywhere.
