Since Bookrix has been revamped, we have lost some "Important Posts" - formerly known as "Stickies" here in the Coffee Shop.
For those new members who have recently arrived, we have only one rule that everyone must adhere to which is:
NO PROMOTING YOUR BOOKS.
NO LINKS TO YOUR BOOKS.
NO REQUESTING FEEDBACK ON YOUR BOOKS.
There are many other groups on Bookrix where the above criteria are welcomed. The Coffee Shop is a place where... Show more
Hello, and welcome to The Coffee Shop, a place to relax, unwind, and catch up on some community gossip. If you're new here, go ahead and introduce yourself :-)
Hello - my name is Anna. And trying to find time to write between family, work and ME time is arduous - but I manage. I hope to visit often...
Welcome Anna! I hope you can find a smidgeon of time c:

I had a co-admin for this group, but now I'm scrambling to take over the group, as she deleted her account with no warning, explanation, or farewell. It should bloom into a great group if I had people to help me. The goal is to be an aid for translating books into other languages, and I can only do French by myself. If I had someone, or someones, with structure to help me keep the group up and to help me find translators for... Show more
No, sorry. Any user can do that, and I've found that google is quite unreliable... :/
I'm curious. With so little time left in a day to read and write....and there are a lot of great stories here by our Bookrix members, why would anyone take more time to translate books from other languages?
I'm not saying it shouldn't be done....it's only my question.
It wasn't my idea, originally. It was the other Admin's. It's really for people to swap between the German side and the English side of the site. It's like Editing 101, but translating instead. Some people do it because they want to.
ameliapond11321 and I are being absolutely terrorized by this guy. He calls us names, disses what I write, what I like, calls us fat, foul-mouthed, dressed like homeless people, don't shower, and everyone hates us with all of their guts. I'm like, yeah, sure, go ahead and keep talking.

I love you, Ken. You just made my day^^
And thank you to everyone else. Your suggestions will be taken deeply to heart. Support is awesome!
You shouldn't care what they think. If you think your amazing, then you are. Don't let them down. I've been bullied before and bullied. If you just ignored them, walk away, be proud of yourself, they will get tired of you as my bullies did. But also in the long run, he might be... Show more
I know a few people have stated their displeasure at the new ads polluting our Profile Pages, and I've been trying my best to ignore them, but... the latest banner ad for Dream-Marriages.com has prompted me to make a few comments.
Let me be clear - I have a perfectly happy marriage already so my examination of the site was strictly for clariication purposes.
For those who don't know, Dream-Marriages.com is a "dating site"... Show more
Yep, I agree. I use firefox and chrome and I have adblock on both of them so I don't see any ads but I do agree the tone of the site can be set or ruined by the ads they allow. Soon users begin to regard them as not being allowed but instead being promoted. I don't think that's the case, IMHO
Hi Preston, If you see any of these crazy dating ads or games, please email the link or screen shot to support-en@bookrix.com and we can remove those inappropriate ones. We see different ads here in Germany so we can't see what you see:-(
Thanks Lineh... will do.
I sent a screenshot to BookRix support and they said: "We will take the necessary measures to make sure that ads such as these are not on the site. We will do our best to filter them out however, if you come across ads like this in the future, please notify us right away."
Thank you BookRix support!

Sounds like you made the right choice. Let the authorities handle it. You don't need those hassles. I hope you stay but that is your choice. Whatever you decide you know there is support here. Good night now.
Since it was mostly verble I didnt have enough to get a restraing order I sent a cop to his house warning him to quit.... and they told me if he was to show up they would be there cuffs ready in 5mins. It kept running through my head alot could happen in 5 mins. I lost sleep for... Show more
Good thing you called the cops, they'll help it all out if anything. I hope things work out for the better,as for this account being gone, try to re-think that, who knows, maybe telling out all the frustration in a story will help things out.
My husband saw the police cars when he went to work that morning. I won't complain about the helicopters any more. I have to give a big clap for our policemen.

Wow! This was in the middle of the night? I never have anything of value in my car. I try to take everything inside. So they wouldn't have gotten much from me.
