Deletion Glitch?

Sorry to be missing for a few hours, but I have spent them finding my poetry posts and copying them and then deleting them from the bubs. I got a few errors while doing it, which made it take longer. There are probably a few stray things I should find, but I will work on that over the next few days. Strangely, my total post count doesn't go down even though I have verified that they were deleted. Maybe this is one of the glitches?

The site is so slow that sometimes I get an error just trying to look at my posts. It takes ages to delete them... you are right the counter does not decrease.

Yes, that's very weird. But, on the other hand, they can't delete your earnings if the site doesn't recognize that the post is gone.

@Rollo1 That is a fact. I have been able to read some posts and a few comments this morning. A user was saying he was unable to delete posts and nameless replied to let her know which posts he want to deleted and she was going to delete them. I have learnt that Kevin has also left the boat. Now there are only Tyler and Bear.

I am leaving my nonsense and rambling, too. Although, I was reading some of it as I went through the lists, and some of it was darn good nonsense and ramblings. So worth saving, but not something that could be re-used.

@marlina I suppose it will stay there until the site slips into the blackness.

I managed to delete a few of my posts after several tries and with many false errors. In the end I edited my posts in order to remove them from the system and finally (since I got no response from Support about deleting posts) just asked them to delete my account (which they did within a day or two). I always kept a copy of my posts, anyway, so I didn't need to go through copying them.

@Rollo1 If you are mostly concerned about keeping a copy of your work, it would probably be best to concentrate on copying rather than bother with deletion. Once you have done that, you can ask them to delete your account, which will also delete the posts, of course.

@owlwings Do you think that if they delete your account that they then no longer hve your posts archived for their future use?

Most of the time, I was just winging it and writing directly into the Write screen. Very very rare for me to have a copy, especially near the end of the whole thing.

Have you tried de-indexing them. The last time I deleted from there they did not really delete.

They come up as Page Not Found, but obviously, not yet de-indexed. I will wait for that.

Is it possible to do anything there without glitches lately? I tried to visit the site earlier and couldn't even get it to show me the latest posts so I didn't bother to work on deleting mine. Maybe tomorrow...

I have had that, too. It simply never loads the page. It's very scary how it is crumbling so quickly.

@Rollo1 It really doesn't bother me because I can't help feeling that the site is getting what it deserves.

I haven't logged in to B for a while now. I think it probably takes time for the post count to be updated after you remove it. Try refreshing it again after sometime.

I deleted twenty or so a week ago, and it still doesn't change the count.

@Rollo1 If it has been a week I'm sure it's a bug in their system then. I would suggest contacting the admin but what good would that do, eh?

It may be that Tyler is furiously working to fix something but he's the only one left working on anything.

Neither does the counter decrease nor the earnings. Before posting them elsewhere however it is advisable to check if your posts have been plagiarised.

I can't post them elsewhere until they are de-indexed. So it will be a while.

I haven't been able to copy and delete my posts though I have been trying to do so. It is taking forever to load pages and the errors put me off.

It's too slow to even try to visit other people. I feel bad.

Same here, I deleted lots of posts and it doesn't show on the total count at the top.

I have heard that it is down for maintenance almost every day. I don't know what is happening as I haven't been there in a while.

I have no interest in removing any posts from the site because none are of any great value and I would not have a further use for them.

I have not login for a long time. Even when I was active a few months back, I noticed that the total number of posts change constantly. At one minute, I have x number of posts. a few minutes later, the number of posts changed. I think their tracking system is faulty.

I gave up there a long time ago because of all the glitches they were having. Many of my posts were more personal or related directly to them so I have done nothing with them. I am upset though that I did not keep copies of my posts. Some really great sites went down with my work there and those posts are just gone and they were edited. It took a lot of work, so at some point now that I have a flash drive I am going to copy them and save them some where else. Maybe even post them here along the way.
