It's always sad to see our old favorites go like this. But this one hits pretty hard. On the bright side, I am still scanning and backing up all of the chapters from the web archive for cyoc. I'm at over 200k+ unique entries so far. I think I'll have to do some more optimizations soon to the database to make it easier to search and load. I want to get this out as soon as possible, but it takes a very long time for me to grab everything. Cyoc was huge, freaking ancient monster. I think the last time I had looked at the total entries on the live cyoc site we were sitting somewhere around 2 mill. I'm not sure, I just remembered seeing a 2 and several digits lol.
As a side note, as I get this version of the search tool I'm designing for this. I'm also planning several versions ahead. One of the things I think I want to include is having the ability to follow branches. It currently doesn't have that function, as the original scope of the project was just a fancy search tool for cyoc. Then cyoc happened to go down in the middle of designing it. I have some ideas on how to include following branches without having to modify the database and grabbing individual page data from webarchive through a websocket but only for the branch information. It would then update that information in the db for future reference/use. I guess the ultimate goal would be to try and restore as much of the cyoc functionality as possible and maybe inlude a live database to connect to that'll allow posting of new branch story lines. That's alot of versions out though
