Unpublishing

If you unpublish a story (to fix minor bugs or for whatever reason), are there any setbacks? I vaguely remember someone saying that you lost all the ratings on your storygames every time you unpublished. I don't think this is true, but I thought I'd just get JJJ to clarify (or anybody else who's unpublished and republished a story).

You lose any saved games if you unpublish, also if the game was in the Top Games list it will drop off.  Comments remain.

Ah that's what I must have heard - that your storygame falls off the Top Games list. Thanks guys.

Yeah. Essentially, outwardly, you still have all of your ratings and comments but inside the system (on the back end), the ratings are wiped. So to get back on the top games list, you need to get ten more ratings averaging 7 or higher.

I've seen Madglee routinely take down his Mommy story for tinkering and then republishing it where upon it goes right back to the featured list instantly. I did that with Ground Zero once as well and the only thing that got wiped were the stats that display the number of times played and finished.

Agree with Endmaster. It goes right back. May have something to do with the number of ratings already, though. I really do need to tinker, I'm actually just transcribing it, which has been taking years because it's so boring.
