SDS Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 For a variety of reasons, I think having the board split off from the Two Bills Drive domain name may not be the best way to handle the situation. I registered stadiumwall.com during the evil Rivals.com years in order save the board from their diabolical clutches. However, now I'm thinking that maybe it would be beneficial to re-unite the board with it's roots and have everyone go to: forums.twobillsdrive.com I would, of course, do some fancy rocket science stuff and have all the stadiumwall.com links go to the right place. Any objections to this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Don't ask for permission, ask for forgiveness. Do what must be done and anyone who has an interest will follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezmid Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 It's going to be very confusing for people when they hear "The Wall," "TSW," or look at the "Off the wall" forum. But I don't think it really matters either way. Whichever is easier for you to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think it really matters either way. Whichever is easier for you to maintain. If I understand you correctly, I don't think I'm suggesting renaming the forums - just the main URL. Maybe I would need to shore up the branding of the forums simultaneously... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerball Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 You're the boss, boss. Hopefully someone will inform me of the new address if/when? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcomers would go to forums.twobillsdrive.com and may not understand what "The Stadium Wall" means because that's not the URL they went to. If you pushed the branding, that would probably help quite a bit. Unless you want to get away from that name in general, which is also a valid option.

JoeFerguson Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I never liked the acronym TSW and still only use TBD when speaking about this site to my real life friends who also post on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure people put a lot of emphasis on the name of a subsection and the url that leads to it - especially if the url is semantically correct.

I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be facing these issues if Losman wasn't our backup. Damn you, JP. Damn you to hell.

SDS Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 I guess the big inconvenience will be that everyone will have to log in again. Therefore, I strongly suggest everyone update their email addresses (for lost password services) and/or know what your current password is.

Damn you, JP. Damn you to hell. Our SabresReport/SabreSpace dual-headed monster has gotten me to think about how we have structured things and me no likey what I see. Time to tighten the ship!

WWVaBeach Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Easy way to avoid confusing posters: 1) Email averyone who has ever posted here or on any of the pages. 2) As soon as everyone has read their email from you, you can then make the required changes. 3) Problem solved. 4) You're welcome.

JDG Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Sounds good to me. Dropping the remaining vestiges of the Rivals.com era can only be a good thing... Although I do miss Mike Doser... ;-) JDG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
