I notice that at this site most stories, or at least most of the newer stories, seem to be written by a single author. Is this just the preferred way it's done (you don't want random internet people getting their dirty fingerprints all over your masterpiece) or is it that there aren't enough people right now to keep stories other than their own active, if they even have time for that much? (I'm sure that the Newest Story list not updating doesn't help matters either.)
I know in the past I've been to other CYOA sites where the stories are more of a community thing that people are encouraged to add to (if no one is interested enough to bother it's a sign of failure, and getting overly controlling and possessive about 'your' story is bad etiquette) and even though it obviously means things are going to get very random and writing style and quality is going to be all over the place, it can be a lot of fun as long as there's an active editor to comb out the more obvious idiots and trolls.
I guess the Hall of Infinite Doors is the closest thing to that here?
