NCISFiction.com

So for a while there, NCISFiction.com was probably the hottest property on Squidge.org.  But for the last 18 months or so, things have slowed down considerably, with some of the only activity being from spammers/hackers.

As such, I'd like to get opinions on importing NCISFiction.com into SquidgeWorld Archive - yay or nay?  Since Squidge owns the domain, there's no one to get approval from but me, but I wanted to get others opinions.  And if I do it, all fiction would have redirects, so if someone went to, say https://www.ncisfiction.com/viewstory.php?sid=56789 it would automatically redirect them to https://squidgeworld.org/works/98765

The practical question is how much work is it? (as in, shouldn't you be writing something or another? ::grin:: )

Poke at it as you can, is my vote...

True...

Okay, so yeah - I should be writing! :) And I'm actually getting some writing done, which is good.

This is both a big and small problem. Big in that I have to check to see what stories are already loaded onto SquidgeWorld from people who crossposted NCISFiction.com and Peja's WWOMB. But after that, the actual porting shouldn't be too much since I already have the scripts.

I'm also thinking that this might happen during the week between Christmas and New Years since my client has told me they're taking time off and I should, too. So that's when this would go down - if it happens at all. But then again, I could use that time for writing. And since there's not been a new fic added to the archive AND I control the domain, there's really no huge rush other than it runs on an insecure version of PHP. Ugh...

A safer server sounds like a plus, especially since you say it gets hackers.
Aside from the work on the import itself, in the long run, would it be easier for you to run in the Archive?

Thanks for reminding me this exists. :)

Everything gets hackers, though PHP-insecure attracts an inordinant amount of them. Once we move, I'll leave them up but in read-only mode so people can't use them for hacking. :)
