View Full Version : New Domain. New Host. New Changes.

As many of you know, I host the forums at my work's offices on their Internet Connection. Sometime before the end of the year we will be moving out and therefore loosing the internet connection. This has forced me to find a new host for the site. The host came with a free domain so I choose this (Only domain that wasn't taken ><). I thought at first that I could still host the thebanlist.com domain here but it appears I was wrong. So rather than being able to take my time about this change ive been forced into it.

thebanlist.com hasn't really been anything other than a forum and a few game servers for a while now. Without me learning PHP the site just isn't going to get off the ground. I've also been wanting to get the forums away from this Half-Life only feel so I plan to add new forums for other games/genres when I get the time to sit down. Im not saying its axed, its just... idle.

The main concern for most is the SvenCoop server. I should hopefully be able to keep this online at least until the end of January. From this point on I'm not sure for its future. I am sure I can get something sorted ;)

Please do laugh at the crap logo I made. It's a rushed attempt just to get this place up and running. I was thinking about running a logo competition at some stage with maybe some sort of prize.

Please do ask questions. Again this is a rushed thread to get something online for you to read. I am meant to be at work! ;)

*Edit*

I forgot to mention...

Your username/passwords are all the same.

Ive created 2 new IRC channels:

#gamerfozumz

and

#gamerforumz-admins for when you need help from someone on the team

Well done for sorting that out SK.

The logo makes my eyes go funny. It may be the drop shadow that makes the text look fuzzy or maybe it's the fact that it was my work's christmas party last night.

>_<

Yeah the forums were a doddle. The emails went across ok too, thought it was going to be much more of a nightmare.

I suggest you get a site to go with the forum, unless you want the forum to die of inactivity.
