As happens every once in a while, the database for democratic-republicans.us is corrupted. We had to restore from a backup. In the process of doing so we had trouble since the site grew to nearly 5 GB with a lot of unnecessary material. Therefore we found that it was a good time to make some changes that probably should have been done a long time ago. This includes:
- Changing the link structure from looking like /jdn/2010/09/22/post-name to /news/post-name. The word “news” could also be eNationalist or Stormfront. It will change automatically based on what the category is. All new posts will have News as the category.
- When files were uploaded it went in a wp-content folder and the whole 2010/09/ mumbo jumbo and this was detrimental in that all files are separated by month which makes it harder to search. We will make folders for audio, video, images, and PDFs in public_html (not in any subfolder) so it will make links shorter and easier on everyone.
- We had over 1500 broken links prior to the site going down and will only generate more as we make these changes. We will work hard to reduce this number to zero as quickly as possible.
- Finally we will try out a new theme that should look and function better. We will leave .org as is for you to compare and comment on which one you like better. It will likely be a Solutrean-colored theme, so watch out for it!
Keep coming back to .org for posts and we will let you know as soon as it is back online.
