I moved the website to a new host, which I think will be more tolerant of the content this website hosts. Nevertheless, I do want to take a moment to remind everyone that the stories and content posted here MUST follow website rules, as it it not only my policy, but it is the policy of the hosts that permit our website to run on their servers. We WILL continue to enforce the rules, especially critical rules that, if broken, put this sites livelihood in jeapordy.
THIS ANNOUNCEMENT IS NOW DEFUNCT. SEE UPDATES FURTHER DOWN.
Thank you for all the nice comments, guys. Your feedback and encouragement are really appreciated. It saddens me to announce that this story is being put on ice for an indefinite period of time.
Seeing as how this tale was still in its early stages of development and many of my regular readers were in the process of catching up to it, the fact that it is now wholly unreadable and that all apostrophes, quotation marks, etc, have been garbled into chains of weird letters and symbols, makes it senseless for me to continue while half the readers are stuck midway and with no possibility of catching up. I will only be able to resume work on Jake's narrative if a fix that restores the original text is found.
If circumstances change and a fix restoring the original text is found, I'll be letting you guys know.
Thanks again for all the support you've shown.
I was wondering if we could use something like ChatGPT to edit the corrupted text. I don’t think it’ll work as it is a problem inherent to the migration. @bondagefreak
I have good news, guys. I know many of you didn't get the chance to read the most recent chapters (Chapters 19 & 20) due to their being published mere hours before the forum crash, so I'm happy to let you know that the two most recent chapters are now fully restored! Thanks to @Subboi's suggestion and @socjuc's help and coaxing, I was able to use an AI tool to unscramble the incorrect encoding errors and restore them back to their original state.
I will be restoring everything from Chapter 1-18 over the course of the next few days and will be letting you guys know once the restoration is complete. In the meantime, be sure to enjoy the most recent chapters if you've not already done so. Chapters 19 & 20 are located on the previous page.
Special thanks to @Subboi and @socjuc for their help and suggestions.
All 20 chapters have been successfully unscrambled. The original BBCode has been preserved and the original line spacing has been restored to the best of my ability. Special thanks to @Subboi and @socjuc for their help.
I won't lie, I was admittedly a little discouraged (writing-wise) to see this project get badly messed up due to encoding bugs. I'm leaving to visit family and relatives for a few days this week, but I look forward to continuing Jake's adventure when I get back. Thanks for all the encouragement and steadfast support, guys. Really appreciate it.
Thanks for your comments on the latest chapter, guys. I really appreciate the feedback and the time you took to let me know you're still reading. Activity-wise, aside from the M/M side (which seems to be completely dead), the rest of the board is back to normal. Let's hope the other readers decide to catch up over the next few days. Would be a real shame to see the M/M side of the forum just completely collapse and die off. Now for a few takeaways from the comments:

Either he is really distracted by the dog, or it's some kind of trick, but not particularly safe or responsible in either case. Fortunately Jake is fictional and I can enjoy his predicament anyway

Fun gag, but hell of a choice for someone tied up alone while your out for two hours.

I had the same thought. In normal circumstances, leaving a first time sub alone like that with that kind of gag would be not good. However this is fictional and hot as hell! I am wondering if it is a kind of trick but I seriously doubt that.

That bulb gag is a doozy though.
Either you guys are right, or Jake is being a bit of a princess and you're all buying into his act and being a bit misled by his perhaps overly-dramatic narration Either way, I'm glad the hefty pecker gag caught you guys of guard. I'm sure it caught Jake off guard too! On that note, I quite enjoyed the witty repartee between @Wedgieboy69 and @WhereAmI. Made me smile.
