Blog and Community Revamp

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, and as I’ve mentioned on the forums…I deeply apologize for that, and for putting people in a weird situation of not knowing if the site would still be around, or would disappear at any moment.

Slaveduties.com will never go anywhere, of that I promise. Even though I was absent for a while, the site is permanently hosted and there is no risk of it ever going anywhere – I promise you that! Maintenance is an issue though, and spam became a problem. With the new forum and community revamp, spam will be much less of an issue – and along with DarkTruth I’d like to have a couple of long-term members become moderators…so that just in case I do go away for a little while again, the forums can be maintained!

I have been back a while now, spending a lot of time in the chat and on the forums…I haven’t written any new posts because I really wanted to get the new design finished and implement the new functionality. Why? Because writing about my life requires me to be in a specific mind state, where I can reflect on my experiences. Working on the site is more of a technical and creative mindset, so it’s difficult to switch between the two. I just wanted to get the new version finished and then resume my posting…which I will do now :)

I’d really like to thank everyone for your support, your love, and your constant comments and interaction with me. It means more than I could ever possibly express in words.

Master has stated that Slaveduties.com will be my priority again, as it used to be. We got torn with some other projects, ideas, some flopped, some are still in the works, but basically Slaveduties.com just basically got put on the back burner for a while…but I realized coming back how important this site is to me. How much work I’ve put into it, the friends I’ve made, the ability to vent and get things out of my head and out into the open…it is amazingly therapeutic, and for example last night in the chat sWITCHed_on gave me some advice that I think put me down a path that I think Master has been trying and waiting for me to go down. It was an amazing revelation and that wouldn’t have been possible without the community, the chat, and “witchy” :)

So, now everyone has the ability to add pictures in the forums gallery section, the forums area is so much better, stable, fast, and has a lot more functionality than the old ones. The blog itself is pretty much the same, with a new look to match the forums. I’m still working on adding more functionality to the forums, like video support, and a point system that actually rewards people with various gifts and perks.
