Soldat forums domain problems now forums.soldat.pl
« on: October 06, 2008, 06:29:53 pm »
There are problems with the DNS and/or domain for the forums.  Please watch http://mm.soldat.pl and http://tns.u13.net for updates, as soldatforums,com may soon become unreacahble.

The forums will (at least for now) be forums.soldat.pl, I am working on getting it online now.

I like the lady's smile on soldatforums,com  :-X



PS. it took me 10 minutes to figure out that sf.com transforms into forums.soldat.pl

That made me very confused, as I have not checked these forums in (what seems to me) quite some time. I thought that I had missed some "omg new forumz evrbodi" announcement :o.

Thank goodness Google... I searched "soldat forums" to see if I could somehow find out the problem. Troubleshooting: it never fails :-X

Yeah, and either someone else bought it, MM's brother renewed it in a way which caused a DNS misconfiguration, or the registrar had a measly auto-renewal system which messed it up as soon as it expired (a few days ago, according to whois' records).
There are other worlds than these

It is pretty clear right now that MM just forgot to renew it, so that onlinenic.com site bought it and probably wants us to buy it for 2 or 3x more than it actually costs.

I hope he gets off that easy. Some who snatch domains want thousands for them.

We'll probably just stick with forums.soldat.pl.

Please encourage anyone you know to update their bookmarks, links on their site, and anything else.  It will be a bit before all of the major search engines re-index this site thoroughly, so the number of people on the site and hits/month are going to be very low this month.  We get huge amounts of traffic from google and other search engines because of the amount of information on our site, but as of right now, every single reference to the forums is lost.

Links everywhere need to be updated, and then we'll see the soldat forums start to show up in search engines again.

I hate this domain, I normally type "sol" and press down and enter and it will take me to the forums, but now I have to sift through 20 other domains to find it :'( boohoo

If you're using firefox, it'll eventually learn.  You can also just delete old references to the old domain in your history (when the bar drops down, just put your mouse over what you want to delete and hit the delete key)

Wouldn't that make it harder to find? As well as god knows how many links being broken.

I don't totaly know how search engine programs (spiders) work, but at least for now the broken forums is at the stop of 'Soldat Forums' googled. I trust that this 'forums.soldat.pl' domain will only cause temorery disturbance, even if it does stay.
