New question for the forum (well, new to me, I haven't been here in a while):
Before the stories site was rearranged (this was a while ago now), when submitting a story there were two separate introduction fields. One was called introduction, and perhaps the other one was called summary or something similar. I used to use the introduction field just to put a "(C) {year} Chagrin Riddle" and would use the summary box for preface text to warn the reader if they may be reading potentially offensive content.
The summary box has since disappeared, and not only that, but the summaries of previously published stories have disappeared, so a new reader is no longer warned of potentially offensive material on my stories in particular. If anything, my stance on copyright has changed over the years, so I would rather have had the summary text stay and the introduction text go away, if I had to choose.
Well, so far none of that is a question, so here's the actual question:
Why was the summary field (or whatever it was called) gotten rid of on the stories site, but the introduction field kept?
