Yeah, I feel it's just better to move it to a new site.  My scripts  
are all intimately tied to my hosting account, so I can't easily open  
it up to others.

I also feel it will give the new maintainer(s) more options, since  
they don't need to worry about all of the legacy data.  I'll keep the  
site online as an archive and add a link to the new quiz.
