When contributing e.g. a comment to a German-language antville-blog, the following confirmation message is returned: "der Kommentar wurde erfolgreich gespeichert". Same thing in English: "the story was created succesfully". Since I don't think that there is such a thing as unsuccessful saving or creation of stories ("der Kommentar wurde erfolglos gespeichert", "the story was created without success"), the adverb "erfolgreich"/"successful" is redundant, and, if you don't mind me saying this, actually also sounds a bit silly. It's not at all a big issue, but perhaps a correction could be made to these confirmation messages in future releases - just for the linguistically picky :-)

how does this antville work?

it's not possible to de-topic a topic-ed story (e.g. by selecting the first entry in the pull-down menu).
