I joined this forum in Dec 2019... but my first story on this site came only in Aug 2020. Good experience with the site members overall. Met (virtually) with some nice individuals (exceptions are always there). Had good and enjoyable time here.
When I started, I think there was some nice content here - stories as well as images, which is enjoyable. There still are a few writers and content producers who I follow and like. During this time, I wrote a few stories and I hope that some members found my stories enjoyable as well!
However, of late, I think the content quality (esp. Hindi story section) has really taken a big hit and has considerably nosedived. While, it is good that more and more people try to write something, they do it just for eyeballs (views), and not for showing/enhancing their writing skills. There is no thought put to their "stories". It is almost always the same rotten, son-on-top-of-mom crap! ... more and more and more and more of it, till nausea sets in. Height of illiteracy is that most people do not even understand what incest really is! Bhabhi-Devar is not incest. Chachi-Bhateeja is not incest. These are examples of adultery at best. Not incest. Anyway.
Situation is deteriorated even further, as so many stories are left midway. Perhaps the "writers" had been copying it from somewhere. So, when the original tap dries off, they are left with dicks in their hand! So many stories have annoying images/gifs. They take time to load, and when you are reading some paragraph, it skips/scrolls down because of slow loading of images. Annoying!
English story section is even more pitiable! Man, it really has not enough readers, despite having some nice content. Irony is that people want to read Hindi stories in English, but... *drumroll* can't even read and understand English stories! ha ha ha! "धोबी के कुत्ते" वाली कहावत सटीक बैठती है! Apparently, people these days can't understand Hindi written in Devanagari, and can't understand English written in Roman (or simply can't understand English)! Don't know what is worse really! But... we can't solve societal problems, can we?
Going forward, some thoughts to share:
(1) Please allow writers to select more than one category? For example, a story can be Romance + Thriller? Or Incest + Fantasy? Please think about it.
(2) Can we add more new categories, such as Comedy/Humor or Historical or Mystery?
(3) Is it possible to make inactive (incomplete) stories invisible? Or pushed to a separate section of Inactive/Incomplete stories?
(4) Create a separate section for 'Hinglish' stories?
As such, it is hard to say, where we are going with this forum. But I believe that with a bit of direction, and concrete actions, it can be made a good content site. I loved how a firm stand was taken for religious and political and interfaith content. It sets right examples and expectations.
Cheers and a very happy birthday to Xforum!
