The sheer size would take some sort of catastrophic event to undo. I guess this is old news, but if they survived the deletion of data two years ago by blaming it on BookLikes, they are capable of withstanding a lot. Their excuses and stories were debunked by computer professionals to no avail. Sure...

I have read that GR has already lost some of its avid users. And I'm certain that its reported number of users is grossly overstated. However, I believe it will go on and maybe even truly grow; just like Oprah. The world is awash with indies trying to sell their book(s) and GR facilitates that; so f...

I should add that GR has deleted and blocked many of my posts; some seemingly inoffensive to anyone. I have also had it reported to me that certain posts which had appeared to have been written by them were not.

Hi all. Another new member-friend. I write some stuff, but its a retirement hobby. I don't really care if I make a nickel from them, but love hearing that someone may have enjoyed them. I've again been totally blocked from GR. I can't even access the site. But, I don't care. I now have new people ...

GR has deleted me three times now; or is it four? The first one had some semblance of legitimacy; my fault.. But the other three seemed to coincide with times when my books got the least bit of notice; almost sufficient to remunerate me with a three figured sum per annum. In the course of this, I di...
