PFF Relocation

[Cain]

As you all may have notice we started to have an increasing number of problems due to the inability of this host to provide better accommodation.

 

These forums can't be backed up but our programmer wizard Jedi Igor managed to do it quite easily and he is also providing us with a more quality server on their server.

 

Our initial plans remain and a backup of the PFF forums will be given to petorlgyph as gift when the official PF will be up. While the unofficial side will continue to exist mainly for feedback and possible sensitive legal issues and also because it is more easily to enforce certain rules their etc.

 

So at one moment in time PFF will split in PF and PFF but for the time being we have to move PPF to a better location.

 

Petroglyph may accept our gift or not - no official written confirmation has been made.

 

Anyway here is what I want from you - you have the chance to decide what URL the PFF will use so pls. add your vote. Its not a fancy URL but is better than what we have. Thanks.

[Cain]

Also if you have any suggestions or questions - just let me know - thx.

Why does every link feature SWRebellion? I don't get it? Thought it was supposed to be about EAW..?

It's because we use their well mantained server and domain ... that's why ... It's the same place were the warlords mod is.

 

its anyway better that the URL we have now

We want to move it to the SWR server. Actually thats where the Backup is atm:

 

http://pff.swrebellion.com/

[Cain]

Well ... it seems to be a close one. But you must admit that http://swempireatwar.swrebellion.com has something magic in it

[Garbageben]

I voted the pff one because don't we want to support all games by petroglyph and not just SW: EaW. Not that it matters.

 

When's the big move to the new site Cain?

[Nevets]

I put Empireatwar because as of now it shows we are a forum mainly about EAW and not Rebellion. I don't think PFF really shows what we are about and some might mistake it for a rebellion site.

Yes indeed.

[Banditu]

I chose http://empireatwar.swrebellion.com since it is short and easy to remember.

"swempireatwar" is not as easy to remember and PFF is quite puzzling for someone who seeks a website about EAW.

Well they are not going to make SW games forever. So it's best to go with pff or something petroglyph.

But it also wont be the petroglyph forum forever. And right now more people will be looking for EAW things, not petro things.

[Foshjedi2004]

Nevets this is the Petroglyph Fans Forums.....This is the Unofficial Petro forums for fans It will always follow Petro!!

[Cain]

Man this poll is close ! Who will win ?

[The Relentless]

I voted for the pff one, the URL needs to have pff in it.

[Zerogravity]

i'd prefer our own domain like pff.com or something along those lines. but if we can't have that, then i say go with choice #3, since most ppl know us as PFF.

[Ghostly_Substance]

ya something like http://PFFGroupforums.com , just a thought.

Last time I checked all 3 letter combinations for the most popular TLDs have been registered (and most of them are actually used by a real site, heh). If you want your own domain, start coughing up money.

 

ya something like http://PFFGroupforums.com

 

Having forums in there twice is redundant, don't you think?

[Ghostly_Substance]

was just a thought JediIgor Just ignore that. Well gonna check out that forum now.

[Siddus]

Yeah ! pff.swrebellion took the first place again !

 

Well this is what I voted

[Darkmark]

I went pff.swrebellion.com. I'd have prefered something more recognisable or memorable, but I suppose this will be more than adequate.

[Cain]

Ok JI - when you are ready start emailing members (post first the email so we see it) and let us know how we will reactivate our accounts on pff/swr.

[Sven]

I'm wondering why you don't simply order an own domain for the forums...

Something like pff-community.com or whatever.

[Grand Admiral Thrawn 889]

i like the Second oneas it is easier to remember for me. but is there anypoint if in about a month the forums are relocating again to the Petroglyph server?

[Teradyn_pff]

No, the forums will be split into Official/Non-Official.
