hoylecake.com's inactivity


This is a bit of a weird place to post this, but I don't feel like scouring the internet for a website just to tell you what the actual hell is going on with my website at the moment. Currently, it's offline. hoylecake.neocities.org is online, but hoylecake.com is not. I made the "mistake" (depending on your perception) of redirecting hoylecake.neocities.org to hoylecake.com. Unfortunately, now that my website has ceased to function, it is impossible for me to 1. access it via the original neocities link and 2. change the DNS settings.

This is very unfortunate, and it's also putting my domain at risk of being bought out and replaced with... dumb stuff or something. I certainly don't want that, so I'm trying to get this fixed ASAP. I will probably just move to a different domain registrar.

As for the website itself... I have a few gripes. I'd certainly like to change it as it isn't the prettiest, and I have many ideas that I feel are too complicated to implement due to the vast scale of the website. If you couldn't tell, hoylecake.com is a cluttered mess. Under the hood, there are a bunch of folders and files that are 70% ordinary and 30% useless. Err, for example, I like to host random images and videos on the site for no particular reason, so it certainly makes looking around in the dashboard a lot more difficult. Because of this, making new stuff and especially changing existing stuff has been so difficult to the point where I've stopped trying. I might optimize it in the far future but for now I'm mainly stuck with it.

This website is...not the best. And, truth be told, I really don't know what to do with it. Regardless, I will still try to put as much love and care into as possible. Thank you for your understanding.
