Personally, I feel that there are various problems.
Firstly, I feel that there are members constantly starting new stories even I am to blame for this. However, it has been on the increase in the past few months. Due to this, members begin to lose interest.
In addition, there are members who write replies to stories like "great pres mate..." As said before, I used to do this. However since I have returned to PlanetCricket I have changed my posting quality especially in the stories forum.
An idea to stop members frequently starting new stories could be to have a 1 month story limit. I.E: You can only have one story in the space of a month?
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards
Arslaan
