Changing forum address?

I've been contacted by Forumotion, and they said that the forum has enough activity to qualify for a free domain change. That means I can change the link of the forum to... say, www.Wolf3d.net...

Of course, there is the problem of broken bookmarks.


Voice your opinion!

I think it is best to keep it as it is now. Otherwise it will create a lot of work changing links.

Please don't change it. I don't want to have to change links on forums or wolfensteingoodies.com.

I'll be back after Christmas.

same here, it is best to keep it as it is now.

I think Wolf3d.net sounds fresh as well as more accessible for newcomers. So what if a bookmark screws up or whatever. Any nut can remember Wolf3d.net. I say go for it.

At 4:30 pm New York time today, I will be in the chatroom talking about whether we should do this. I'm only interested if the threads with 10,000+ posts will be moved or preserved instead of deleted. I think that we've put too much time and effort into the threads and don't want them deleted.

I'm pretty sure that if I change the address that no threads would be deleted. It'd basically be same as it is now, only with a different address.

Yesterday in the chatroom, Schabbs said that he's not interested in changing it because he would have to change links going back to March 2007. JPB and I said that we don't want it changed either because we'd have to change a lot of links. I'm now sticking to my decision that I don't want it changed.

It's better to leave it as is. Any n00bs looking for a wolf3d forum will just use google to find it anyway. We could have an address of www.forumotion-template.w3d.com and people would find this place just as easily.

I guess the thing here is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."
