Guest access and accounts

Boards and threads opened without an account on 3 October 2026, and the line under a thread says a login is needed to reply. The forum’s own registration page returned the message «New registrations are currently not being accepted», so on that day a new account could not be created there. No prices are shown anywhere on the forum pages.

Rules that apply to the board

The Terms and Rules page forbids content that is defamatory, abusive, hateful, threatening or spam-like, contains personal information of others or risks copyright infringement. It refers to the CHYOA Code of Conduct, which names the forum in its scope: respect personal boundaries, no threats, no sharing of personal information, no hate speech or harassment, with consequences from a warning to permanent account suspension.

Story content falls under the separate CHYOA Rules, whose first point sets «minimum age is 18» for characters in erotic scenes and extends the same limit to cover and embedded images, whether photographed, drawn or computer-generated.

Who runs it and interface language

No company name appears on the forum pages read; the terms point to a contact page and to a Copyright and DMCA Policy with a designated copyright agent. The interface is in English.
