Perhaps (though I doubt) it's just my computer, but all of Alphade5's and wonkywanker's teases are all hidden/deleted. I get this message... "This tease is invisible. Sorry. The requested tease could not be displayed, because the author has not yet published it." (They still show up in the applicable lists when I click on a tag.)

This is pretty bad news, I have to say, because all the teases these guys have made have been intelligently written and are a great contribution to the site, which seems to have now been lost. So if anyone has information leading to the return of these missing teases, or leading to further contributions from both or either of these fellows, it would be much appreciated.

Alpahde has left the site and because he was worried about copyright complaints, he has also taken down his teases. I don't know about wonkywanker.

Obviously, we can't force our authors to keep their teases online when they leave Milovana, although most choose to do so.

Well I suppose that's fair enough. Out of interest, were complaints made, or was he forecasting them to come?

I don't know what went on in his head, but no, there were no complaints. He left the site for personal reasons. Taking down the teases was a measure of not leaving a past that could haunt him later.

When I started out managing volunteers and volunteer websites I used to fight furiously to keep people from leaving. But that only created dispute and conflict. There is always the next generation to take their place. Of course I'm still sad when somebody decides to leave, but it's their decision, and I respect that, no matter whether I agree with their reasons.
