We also have The Writer's Showcase
I just use the Rejection thread to log progress. 
Which everybody continues to critique and offer feedback... exactly like the Workshop.
I don't always look to see where the story has been posted. I kind of automatically assume it's been posted in the Workshop. I haven't critiqued in the Showcase, but I came close once or twice.
We need to keep the images to a minimum. I'd have to charge membership fees to pay for the next tier of server space. But feel free to contribute literary humor!
Do linked images take up server space?
They do, but there are configurations to get around that. Xenforo does not recommend turning off the image link proxy. It hasn't been an issue here yet so we're good.
the other issue with linked images is where they come from, a) anything linked from sketchy sites would harm our seo, and b) even with legit links long term members may remember that when photobucket died a lot of links that had been legit when posted turned into porn and or scam and spam.
by and large my view on this is that we are a writers forum, ergo we should as far as possible communicate in the written word, threads full of cat memes or whatever arent really in keeping with our ethos

That, too. We've allowed a lot of the non-writing things from the OG to persist as kind of a grandfathered thing, but there won't be many new ones in our future.
Yeah i second this....Suggesting a blog again.I felt compelled to because an idea for a blog post seized me this morning.
I wasnt big into the blogs before, but the list of "Weird Shit JT Found" keeps piling up.
Today, i found a collection audio recordings from a migrant incampment during the Dust Bowl.
Songs and interviews.
Really interesting! And i want to share it, but dont quite now where......
That and i found a book about stuttering and lisps from 1912
As I said. Blogs aren’t happening. If you want a blog go to blogger or Wordpress or wherever
Our sister site, wf.com, has blogs. Could put it on thereYeah i second this....

My bad, dang.
I skimmed through all the comments since then and missed your response.
Sheesh
Coukd also start a thread on the research board if you want… if it’s writing related our preference is that it goes in a thread.
Which has now been rewired so nobody can respond to it! I think it works... I can't respond to it as Baby Billy. No need to lock it manually... Hallelujah!
I've been thinking about this for a while now and I don't know if it's been brought up before, but I love interactive fiction. If we had some sort of thread, contest, or general system of writing text-based rpg's, I think many would enjoy it. Of course, these stories would be a bit longer, maybe between 1000 and 30,000 words, but I bet my bottom dollar some of us would be for it. Anybody have their thoughts on this?
We have a whole section for RPG already
You started an RPG in the correct section - but you didn't go through a phase of seeing of there was any interest in participating or recruiting players. That's probably why no one has signed up for it. You need to do some work in drumming up interest, it isn't just a case of posting some threads and seeing if anyone will participate, a lot of people don't read that section of the forum.
But it depends what you mean by "writing text-based RPGs".
