It's not necessary to even host the scripts on the 'net. You can install them directly from your hard-drive. Easiest way it just to open up Firefox, and drop a drag-n-drop a script on the browser. It will open up the Install dialog. Click the button, and you're good to go. If there are @requires, you'll need to have them available as well. If they have a fully qualified URL, you'll need to make an edit for that. But otherwise, it's straightforward.

I see.  Well here's the thing.  I don't know how many of you play
Ikariam, if any, but what happened was that in some of the scripts run
by greasemonkey, someone was able to hack in and start deleting
people's towns.  It was advised to uninstall greasemonkey and all
applicable scripts.  Upon further investigation, I was told to do the
following in order to avoid having that particular issue from every
happening. I guess it was a very bad situation and over a dozen
servers had to be rolled back so that the accounts that were deleted
were brought back to where they had been prior to the issue.
Anyway....here are the instructions...

1) Get a host somewhere. At a friend, for free or pay
2) Download the scripts, and all required parts, from the original
source
3) Modify the scripts so all urls point to the new host. Possible with
a needed folder structure
3b) Optional. Alter the code to fix bugs, change code to your liking
and add new stuff like a feature you want
4) Upload the scripts and their required parts
5) Expose the scripts so you can install them. GM requires installable
scripts end with ".user.js"
6) Install the scripts again from the new location

Scripts are stored locally. It doesn't matter where they're hosted. You
only access the hosted copy when it's initially installed.

First let me say that I don't know anything about programming.  That
out of the way, what I would like to do is host scripts myself.
I play Ikariam and from what I was told, if I host the scripts myself
then I don't have to worry about my towns being demolished.
Any assistance with this would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you! : )
