I went through hell, but I finally got the General Blog ‘pulled apart’ from what angry did. It actually was pretty easy now that I look at it. All I had to do was create a MySQL Database for both blogs(two separate databases), put the files where I want them, and work with that. Plus, it actually had a video tutorial on how it works, which was really helpful to me.
I also managed to get what angry did, undone (which was to put my Games blog as the homepage). I had to seek help from Arvixe on how I go about doing it. After the discussion (over the phone), it’s actually a lot simpler than I thought. All I had to do was just simply move the files to another folder. Though there was some issue of it not displaying right. The fix was to delete the database that angry made, and make a new one (with a new username and password). And that worked. Very happy.
Getting this thing, was a bit hellish. I had to use FTP to do it (cPanel only allows one file upload a time). But there was a problem. When angry and I had gotten the hosting plan back in 2012, they never gave us the port number or anything else that’s helpful. Again, I tried to use their Live Chat and I waited good hour, only to not get a response. So this is their “24 hour support”? More like 24 hour wait times.
I called them, and actually spoke to someone. He walked me through to FTP myself into the site. Gave me the port # and everything.
By the end, I told him about how I had to wait so long in Live Chat. He’s all “Oh wow, that shouldn’t be happening. Let me send this info to them so they can fix it”. I’ve said how long I waited for a response before, yet no one ever seemed to give a fuck. He did. Nice to see some good news for once.
So yeah. Back on beniesbuilds.com (for now). I also changed the homepage to point to the two blogs, and imported all of my blog posts from WordPress.com over to here.
Overall, this is a solemn “victory”. A ‘victory’ that should had never happened, if I didn’t get pissed off at Arvixe. Well… I tried to make amends with angry yesterday, but he just won’t have any of it. He’s done with me.
Which is why I want to get this ‘benies-blogs.com’ thing up ASAP. It’s the only way I feel will end this nightmare. It’ll feel that beniesbuilds.com, never happened. I literally want to take a match to it and just watch it burn. Burn away those memories of ever meeting the one that would call himself “Mr.Angry” (who now goes by the name of “Yoplitem”).
I’m sure he would be doing the same thing of me, just not anywhere as emotional as I’m being right now.
For 8 years, he tolerated my whiny piece of shit. That’s the longest I ever had a friend. Usually they don’t last longer than a week. And now he just can’t stand it anymore. And I really can’t blame him. But at least he, in ways, made this website have a purpose. I just wish he had told me that all the coding he did, was for me and not for him. But he’s not one that will speak up.
Then again, it should had been obvious to me. I mean, why would he even bother working on the site if it wasn’t for me? *sigh* Wish that came to my mind quicker.

EDIT: I have fully gotten everything that’s not game-related out of my Games blog and into here. All of the posts I made are back in their proper area now. I also have deleted posts in my Games blog that say I’m using WordPress.com.
Lastly, my WordPress.com blogs have been removed as I no longer need them.
