How does this site compare to original CHYOO?

Hello... I used to be a fairly frequent contributor over at http://www.chyoo.com/, but I left because I kind of ran out of steam and because the site admins didn't seem to exist - or at least, they never responded to any sort of message or forum post. So I'm wondering, how does CHYOA compare to CHYOO?
 
Lower number of more active contributors: admin that actually give a damn. I have been on here less than 6 months and just let me give you a TASTE of the body of work I have submitted and had approved: including two that were published within the past 24 hours.

These are the two that were just submitted and approved yesterday:

http://chyoa.com/story/stacie-s-mom/cover

http://chyoa.com/story/anna-and-jean-college-daze-first-semester/cover

This one was a story destroyed during the collapse of the old site which the admin turned over to me about a week ago and I rebuilt: You can still see parts of the wreckage in places.

Here are some of my more popular works, the top three in terms of deepest thread, highest rating/most veiws, and highest percentage of threads added by other contributors.

http://chyoa.com/story/new-philippines-the-begining/cover

http://chyoa.com/story/teen-island/cover

http://chyoa.com/story/pyramid-mall/cover

And finally my first story, which has the most diverse range of contributions from other people and which will show you when I joined because I created it my first day:

http://chyoa.com/story/rise-up/cover

ALL of this and more I have done and had approved in barely more than 3 months on the site: CHYOA's admin is a breed, nay entire genus, apart from those of the old Chyoo, not to mention once a story is first approved it no longer requires admin to function, just it's 'owner' or an 'editor'.

Not only that but some time next month a new and improved site is going to go live, with all kinds of shiny new bells and whistles, so if you are not convinced yet check back then and see if you like the place a little batter...

As summary:
- Chyoo is the old site, where no programming is possible anymore and the functions are limited or can only accessed by workarounds (probably because the serversoftware versions changed some years ago)
- Chyoa is the new site, including all stories since the relocation. It is stable and working. Admins are active. New functionalities are in developement.
 
Well, that sounds great! I will begin making some contributions, then, and I'll probably bring over some stories from the old site (which I wrote under another name, "gystex", but the Email address associated with that account is long dead so I had to name-change).

Please contact Friedman about that. He can figure it out and can probably merge your accounts
