Possible problems with EvaFics.ORG

[PCHeintz72]

I was just checking some of my links this evening (well, actually all 4,569 of them), and noticed a pattern.

While the EvaFics.ORG site itself seems accessible, and the author pages are as well, they do not seem to actually contain stories anymore...

I first encountered it with a Mosher-24 story link, then two HotWore story links, and then again with a Strike Fiss link. At random, I checked Adam Kadmon, Leon Myjia, and a couple others, and in each case, while I can get to a author page, I cannot get to any stories under them.

The sister site of DarkScribes.ORG does not seem to be having this issue, I was able to link directly to two HotWire story arcs (the same two that stopped for EvaFics.ORG) with little issue.

Anyone else having this issue?

EDIT:

As a side note, despite the fact the stories are not showing in the author pages, the RSS feeds for the very author pages are still showing the stories as being there.

Of course, that helps little, except in the fact it might be a UI issue, not a database issue.

Currently, I have some 11 direct story links affected, and two author links affected. 2 other's were redone to point to Darkscribes.ORG, and one to a older home page for an author. I may go back and try to find alternates for the others if it is not resolved tomorrow.

If I remember L.D wanted to close the evafics site down just after he took over again, due to low traffic.
Maybe he has just finally given up ?

If so then I might have to pester you for some links PC

Bug report sent to EvaFics.ORG.

I very rarely use Evafics.org now, I dislike the site design completely. The previous version was better and more user appealing IMHO. Does Negative Zero still have any input there ?
Even though Darkscribes uses the same design it does not bug me as much. Although it is an improvement on previous versions.

Do you have any links for a story by Project Cala called Love Shinji ?
It was a Love Hina x Evangelion
I think the last chapter was 16 but the author updates very slowly.

Actually, I like the new designs of both sites, at least, the story archive portions, I do not use the forums, so could not say. I think it better than the EvaMade design.

The flow is good, author and story feeds are good to have support for, and the design is internally consistent for both sites. Until this issue, and one early on they had, I've been pleased.

But... I admit I do not use the sites much except to link to stories on them. Currently that amounts to:
- for Darkscribes.ORG, that is 1 archive site story link, 13 story links, and 3 author links.
- for EvaFics.ORG, that is 10 story links, and 2 author links.

I do not in my own links, but it only took some 30 seconds to find with Google:

Since it has not been updated in 13 months, I would class it as dead. Anything over a year I do so for out of consistancy. Does not mean it won't get updated, just less likely.
