Winter cleaning

azuriteWell, fuck. I went to Dragonfayth to finally post the Winter challenge I mentioned here in my LJ a while back, and I noticed there were over 1000 challenge PAGES. Not individual challenges, but CHALLENGE PAGES. Of course all but 2 were spam, and I'm stuck deleting them in batches of 30 in phpMyAdmin. This will take a while. I've since patched eFic 2.0 to not allow anonymous challenges. I will eventually add my winter challenge, and I hope anyone else who has made prompts, fanmixes, or anything else will consider joining DRFA (if they haven't already) and including their challenges.
I'm also contemplating doing a complete overhaul of the databases on my domain, because
a) no one uses the Betasquad forums, to my knowledge, and it's not worth the extra space to have it there.
b) they're disorganized as it is, with the old Epiphany eFic tables located in the same database as Dragonfayth's, WikiFic, and phpBB. But I don't know if/how I can move those sites that I still intend to keep active (i.e. WikiFic, Dragonfayth, eventually Epiphany) to their own databases. Can anyone help?
Oh, and one more thing...
SCOTT IS COMING HOME!
I probably shouldn't be so thrilled that it didn't work out for him in Turkmenistan, and truthfully, it *WAS* unexpected (for him to say he was going back to the U.S), but for some reason, I'm happy that I'll get to see him MUCH sooner than either of us thought.

Date: 2006-11-12 05:16 am (UTC)As for Scott, he just sent me a short email saying that he "can't see himself there for the next two years," and that he's coming home (but he didn't say when, specifically). I think he may have alluded to more reasons in his letter that he sent me, but I haven't gotten it yet. He also said he was going to try to hook up the teaching in Japan thing with Oxford Seminars; they give a guarantee that you'll have a job placement within 6 months, so depending on when he gets back to the States, I might even see him before I leave Japan! And if not, I'll have an excuse to revisit Japan anyway!
