Decided to try and spotlight some of the older posts here. Anything to help get views up and hopefully save Virily from disappearing. All we can do is try different ideas and hope for the best.
There are many posts here worth reading, all of them as a matter of fact. But if we all choose a few here and there to share, maybe we can keep the site afloat.
The beautiful photo above is from one of Branka’s posts.
Today I chose Branka Drobnjak and below you will see a few of her posts you may have missed. This first post was her very first post on Virily two years ago…

Any ideas for helping site stay afloat?
thank you for spotlighting users. This is a great way to help all!!!!
You are welcome Doc, I hope it helps in some small way.
hope it does, I think it does, but I don’t have a way to study and tell you.
I know, we are all just maneuvering around in the dark.
i can track so many things, but not one past’s impact on other posts. I would need access to the admin’s data.
I great choice indeed thank you for sharing Carol
Thank you for commenting my friend.
Wonderful collection, I had missed some of these posts!
Thanks, these are older posts, I missed some as well.
Unfortunately, Branka has not been active lately. I have visited her posts in the past.
She commented on a few of my posts recently but not often. Thanks for the comment.
Not so constant lately, but there are always interesting posts.
Thanks for the comment. Take care.
Great idea Carol. I am now leaving to check out the other posts of Branka….Hope you and The Dude and Brendel and others in your life are still enjoying everyday life and health…
Good to see you. Looks like the poll questions are not working right now. Sorry. We are doing fine, thank you. And I hope the same for you.
Looks like the poll questions are not working right now. Sorry.
You and me, we’re cool. So I can talk plainly. It seems lots of things are not working.
To be honest, I am having my thoughts about leaving this community. I have been here just as long as many of the users but I am not Verified. I don’t have a problem with that EXCEPT … for the past few days, I have noticed that all the Verified Users are posting like crazy. But I have 4 posts that are still PENDING. At this point, I don’t even know if anybody is working in the “Back Office” or if the Editors have been affected by COVID-19 and my posts will be PENDING until the end of the world!
So at the beginning of 2020, I had made up my mind to really become more active at Virily. It’s the 3rd month of the year and I am already deciding where I should go and better spend my time and energy to earn income. I like this site. The publishing platform is easy to use. The members are nice. I’ve never been mistreated by the Editors. But while you Verified Users are doing what you can to save the site, I’m trying to decide: Should I Stay or Should I Go? (Corny humor. Tacky pun. No. That song is not on my playlist.)
The bottom line: I would like this site to remain online and profitable. But before I try to save this site, I have to SAVE ME!
I’m sure you and the members and the Editors (if they read this) understand my reasoning. It’s the last day of March. In the month of April, I am going to have to make a decision about continuing to be active here. I’m sorry I have to think this way. But it looks like it’s not going to work out for me.
my gut is that the virus is impacting them, many authors have expressed frustration about the length of the approval process.
I am sorry it is impacting you.
I keep saying this too shall pass, we will see.
