[Suggestion] Submitting Chyoa to search sites?

    Question for the site builder and moderators (Friedman?):

    Are we at a point where it could make sense to submit Chyoa to a search engine?

    The prompt for me is that I saw a note about a new "adult entertainment specific" search engine aimed at convenience and privacy (requires HTTPS, claims not to track IP address or set permanent identifying cookies). I saw that Chyoo is present in the results when searching for erotic stories, but Chyoa is not.

    I figured it would be best to bounce this question off the Chyoa maintainers before attempting to submit a URL.

    That's a good idea.

    Chyoa gets currently traffic from Reddit, so the maximum number of connections to the MySQL database is already reached (this is also the reason why the site is sometimes slow). Since I can't change this value on the current server environment, I've scheduled a server change for the end of September.

    I think it's better if we wait until then. I'll keep you up to date.

    Most excellent.

    I suppose if our success continues, we may want to take up a collection for better server space and/or add caching of unchanged dynamic pages.

    Also It's my strictly personal opinion that before "spreading the word" on the new chyoa it would be better to fix the few major things that are missing from the old chyoo, the linked threads and the typos ("?" instead of quotes, etc..)
    Idk how viable it is, but I had to say it :)
