Soldat forums domain problems now forums.soldat.pl

[blackdevil0742]

Then why are you still holding in with the mass e-mail proposition?

we can find out where those stealers live and kick their asses.

MM is planning on renewing the domain, but even if he does we will stay on forums.soldat.pl

we would keep forums.soldat.pl for a year or two so that we can keep our links in google and do a more smooth transition in the community.

What links on Google? The first one that comes up is still the original url, as well as the archives not being accessible. And unless you've sent out a mass email, there are still people who don't know about forums.soldat.pl, and not even that will get through to the ones that may only find the forum by now useless links.

BTW, I noticed that the old url is swear-filtered. Is that something to do with trying to give this url the benefit with search engine bots?

"what links on google" uh, you just proved my point?  I'm saying that all of the links in google are still pointing to forums.soldat.pl so as of right now google is passing pretty much none of its normal traffic this way.  I will be sending out a mass e-mail, but that doesn't change the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of links out there from search engines and community sites that point to the old domain.  Many of them will never be changed, even after a mass e-mail, so getting the old up and running again is worthwhile even if we plan on permanently using forums.soldat.pl. 

The old domain is swear-filtered because the forum is littered with hundreds or thousands of posts pointing to other threads/posts, none of which will work until the old domain is up and running... so I put in a swear filter to make all of those links work again.

Yeah, godamn send a mass email. Took me days to find my way back in here.

Not sending a mass email message to everyone = Abstinence at its worst. If you know that we're going to probably keep this domain for a year or two, why hold back? Nobody's a little afraid of having a extra email message in their inbox

So you guys are telling us that MM's still struggling with renewing the original forum website?

[Wolf_Man]

The way i look at it, if someone doesnt have the common sense to get here, they shouldnt be here. I say keep this address and record how many members SF loses.

I don't know what is taking so long

Jesus christ, I find this place a week later after the domain expired o.0 I go on every day, even though I don't post much, I was always absent mindedly clicking this bookmark expecting to see SF and got a ad page >.>

Mass e-mail is probably a good idea.

There is still a link from Soldat.pl, it's not that hard to figure out if you ask me. Not that you lose anything from a mass e-mail...

[Wolf_Man]

There is still a link from Soldat.pl

And that, my friend, is the reason i am here.

Congratulations on finding that. You sir, have won..... a cookie!

Go ahead, reach in the cookie jar!

[homerofgods]
