Title: Change forum url?
Post by: Westfall on December 10, 2007, 08:10:06 PM
The forum url here is "projectstealth.splintercellnetwork.com"

To be 100% not affiliated with splinter cell, don't you think it would be a wise move to change the name away from splinter cell? Is there a way to transfer the forum data just to a new host name?

Even when you type that in it goes to "projectstealth.splintercellnetwork.com"

I know. Thats because I own the domain so and they own the site, so all it does is a redirect. I'll look in the options now and see if you can ghost the URL. I won't do it of course, because splintercellnetwork may want their site in the name.
(advertising)
or they may not :P

Some [insert words here] have taken all good names. I'll have to go to the secondary options. =/ It's no biggie yet. But we'll do it eventually.

You didn't mention that the people who have already registerd the good names are members of this community. Not sure why they wanted/needed to register them though.

The Moooollleeeyy!

Jokin, I just did it before any wierd people do who will actually charge PS to use them or UBI to stop us completely :P I'd happily hand the domain over to the owner of the site so it can be used properly.

It's not necessary yet.
When/if we need it, I'll reimburse you, of course.

No reason to focus on a domain for forum, we better get a site, it will help new people.

btw frvge, do you make backups?
Title: Re: Change forum url?
Post by: frvge on December 11, 2007, 01:13:39 AM
Sometimes. Usually making a complete backup isn't practical. We have a HUGE amount of raw data. Think multiple GBs. And it's zipped, and that takes up a lot of processing power, which slows the server down + it adds the space of the backup.

Only dev post counts are backed up. Tough luck for the rest of you if someone sneezes in the server room.

I should add that that's only true for PS. Other sites on the server are backupped more often, but that's usually < 100MB.
