Worth the effort...
I can't log into my Easy Banner admin panel, so I can't update my banner exchange, and I can't find the database the information's in, so I can't back it up and just reinstall the thing. It's making me cry.
Also, I discovered that if you switch to PHP 5 on Dreamhost now, YOU CAN'T SWITCH BACK. They're phasing out PHP 4. So. I'm not even sure for how much longer my fanlistings will work. This raises a few questions - should I switch to Enth? I kind of hate a lot of things about it, and it would be a huge hassle to switch over all my FLs. I don't know if I care enough to do it. And that's the other issue - is it even worth it to keep running them? I haven't had a lot of time for my FLs lately, and frankly, they're stressing me out more than they are making me happy lately. Jaime says I'll regret it if I close them all, but I'm not sure. I have this niggling little urge to delete everything but this livejournal and just disappear from the internet for a while. It's not like I ever built up a lot of friends or admirers or anything, so I doubt most people would notice if my sites went kaput. It's something to consider, at least.
I'm actually rather depressed to think about this. These things used to make me so goddamn happy, and now I can't get up the spirit to work for even a couple minutes. I was forcing myself to update One & Only earlier, in the hopes that I might love it again once I'd gotten started, but then I couldn't log in, as mentioned above. That site, at the very least, is going to have to be shut down, I think, as I just don't know how to salvage it.
And then there's the other thing - if I did shut down my FLs, I'd have to send in forms, and people might be disappointed in me, and there's no way I'd ever get some of those topics back if I wanted them again in the future. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. A hobby isn't supposed to freak you out like this, is it? Gah, I don't know. I just don't know.
