Good catch, Larry! I just filled out the only couple of blank spots on my profile (favorite TV shows and Facebook profile) and will wait to see if the badge reappears, although I think it is unlikely to from such minor changes.
Most of the categories have a 3,000 character minimum, which works out to about 600 words. Poetry, songs, flash fiction, micro fiction and musings have lower minimum word/character requirements.

The chat rooms were removed some time ago. They were so rarely used that it didn't make sense to keep them open.
To see your smile by my side
Gives me unspoken pleasure
May our love always abide,
And may I be worthy of this treasure
Going through this entire thread today, I came across something my friend LadySharon posted fairly early on. It seems a good time to share it again...



Let's try to keep it that way here.

Turn it around and end at the beginning
Declare a race won without really winning
A joke untold until after the grinning
Confessions bespoke before the sinning
Backwards to forward has my head spinning


That's so darned clever I don't know if I can come up with a worthy follow-up.
Much like I don't know how to end this crappy one
So I'll exclaim, "It's just for fun!"
For when one is at a loss
Don't think of it as an albatross!
Never despair if the end isn't winning
Turn it around and end at the beginning

Being There




My all time favorite Peter Sellers movie!!!


Great choice! Being There is always in my top five when I'm asked to name my favorite movies.

Additional forums might attract more traffic on Stories Space. Here are some possibilities I copied from another site:

The Think Tank
Adult Swim - discussions and debate of a more serious and heavyweight nature

Health and Fitness
Share your tips and advice for staying healthy and fit here.

Media News
Discuss Movies, TV, Music, Celeb Gossip and other relevant Media Interests.

En Vogue
A playground of fashion, beauty, shopping, and style.

The Gourmet
Forum for foodies, wine appreciation, recipes, food porn, to get those digestive juices flowing.

Funny / Cool Videos
Share amusing or interesting videos.

Strange / Amusing Pics
Post any weird or funny pics you come across here.

Hardware and Software
Post about the latest and greatest in consumer electronics, gadgets and software.

Internet Noticeboard
What's trending? Social Media, Online Security, Crowd-sourcing Projects...

Gaming
Latest release news, game reviews, YouTube previews, console guides, etc.


FWIW, I'm neither for nor against any of these and I know nothing about the economics of commercial web sites. However, in my very humble opinion, if something isn't done to spruce up SS, the day will come when, to quote from Lobo's biggest hit, nobody will be here but, "...me and you and a dog named Boo..."



I think you have a good idea there, Mr. deWriter.

Perhaps we could have forums for artistic endeavors (besides writing) and hobbies as well.

I have no problem with livening up the forums, but this post contains too many references to Lush. If someone can clean it up, it can be moved back to the forums.


Done.
