Recently I've been considering bringing back a couple of sites I made in my early shrining days. One of those sites is saved on my flash drive, and the others I would have to make again from scratch. I would like to bring at least one of them back at some point in the future, as I do miss those sites and I'm still a fan of their subjects' respective series.
So, in addition to the very first questions above, here are a few more. You don't have to answer all of them, of course. (Also, you can edit the questions so they make sense depending on whether the site in question is one you have reopened or one you want to reopen but haven't yet.)
- What was the site dedicated to?
- Why did you close it in the first place? (Losing a host, wasn't up to your standards, etc.)
- How long was the site closed/offline before you brought it back?
- What made you decide to bring it back?
- Did you have the site saved, or were all the files lost/deleted?
- If you did have it saved, did you rebuild it from scratch anyway or just reupload everything the way it was?
- After bringing the site back, did you find you were glad to do so?
