1. Sometimes, even me, everything is mine. I only have so many good friends here that I’m getting into

   • it is a friendly place, isn’t it?

2. I hope you come back soon

   • I would’ve been back earlier, but nobody could see my posts

3. She also could be unimpressed by her dude…who knows?

   • Yeah, that’s often the case

4. It feels like they have fixed a couple of the issues. The one that appears to be the bad one right now is credit for guest views. In the old days, you got double credit for the first 200 guess views (1 viril for the guest coming to Virily and then one viril for the view). At this point, you only get credit for the view. But the site is more stable now than before.

   • I wonder if that is a bug or an unannounced policy change. You can never tell around here…

     • Based on what the admins said, it is both. It causes system performance problems to double track a user (shocking on that call). Overall the system is much more stable without the double counting. I lose about 100 virils a day, but happily will trade that for stability!

       • that simply can’t be true- they could easily double credit outside views with a x2 added to the code for external view counting

         • I agree with that, but I suspect they would argue that they need validation otherwise it would be fairly simple to write a script, put it on a computer that doesn’t have an Associated Virily account, and well drive some seriously fake numbers.

           I think they are doing some level of validation which is why they are having the performance hit.

       • you shouldn’t need to double validate; verify once and credit twice. we can assume if it was valid once it would be valid the second time…

         • I suspect prior to the cheating issue that happened on the site almost a year ago, they can’t do the trust thing. I suspect the verification process was added after all the people leaped to the top ten list (100,000 virils produced in less than a month, some of them with less than 5 posts.

           My dad used to always say “there are rules when you start. Then there are rules that start when people start cheating.”

5. No idea what the problem is but I hope it gets corrected soon so you can get back with us again with your beautiful and incredible creations.

6. I was just thinking of you with in relation to Albert’s Challenge. Everything you do can be posted for that. And how. Good to see you back!!

8. I can never forget about ya because of what type of things you share. I do know that when I do view your page I will not have a lot to read, yet will have a few things to comment on based off of what you share.

   • a picture is worth a thousand words, so…

     • Yep, that is true! Plus I have many of times when I do not want to read a long post, yet here I have Alex with short words, and pictures that are intriguing. Your posts are always a win, plus you reply back : )

       • Looks like I am covering all the bases

         1

         • Yep. There are few that actually reply back. I have to say 2 out of 6 reply back.

10. Very nice. Thanks for sharing

    • I am glad to hear you like it

11. Sis never forgets her brother lol. Having patience sometimes is hard to do,but if you can stick it out, better days will be ahead.

    • I know things will get resolved, this is a question of timing

12. I think we just need to keep contributing here in the belief that they are working hard to fix the situation. I also did not get a visit on a number of posts but because of our active visit to friends’ posts, the posts that were empty of visitors were also visited in the end. Indeed, there have been some less comfortable things here a few days ago but some have been cleared.

    • It doesn’t make much sense for me to post when I’m not getting views, my time would be better spent fixing my system…

      1

      • Yes, of course, you have the right to determine what’s best for you.

13. I have been stuck since 1 Dec at the same $$ as usual… I get lots of views and comments.

    1

    • I trust that if I am getting views that aren’t credited, that will be fixed. But if I’m not getting views there isn’t a fix for that…

      • I have very little trust in the Admin. I m getting views and comments but my $$ doesn’t change. This ‘Pending’ game…

        • it used to be that for the first thee weeks of the month, my metrics were broken and then at the end they’d be accurate. then it stopped working altogether but I’ve always been paid, so that’s why I trust them…
