After some unexpected problems, we decided to change some of domains. So, update yourself:


- gamemod.net (used to be game-mod.net). All sites hosted at game-mod.net are now under gamemod.net. I.e.: C&C Reloaded is now at http://reloaded.gamemod.net

- ralert.net (used to be ralert.com). All sites hosted at ralert.com are now under ralert.net. I.e.: 20XX is now at http://20xx.ralert.net/


And more changes will be announced soon to fully adapt the network into the new situation. Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused to many of you. If you run a site that is affiliated or link any of the gamemod and ralert sites, please, update your links.

Dude, dont lie. Tell the people the truth: we did not decide to change the domains, it's just that someone bought them or Detail put them up on xreg. Or stole them to redirect to his blog. (see http://miasmaentertainment.com)

Dude, I am not lying. We didn't expect he would redirect all today. So, we've changed the domains, and in order to do something, you have to decide to do something.

These domains he is selling were paid with the money that many of you provided by clicking on the Google Ads last year and in the beggining of this year.

He did pay for them, after all.

[Mastermind]

And has been paid back in the form of server space and Google revenue. The least he could do is sell them to us at a very low rate, rather than double or triple their registration costs. We still then have to pay a registrar to do the transfer.

[Destroyer]

Maybe you could snag them when they expire? Assuming nobody else steals them

[Banshee]

They'll take ages to expire, Destroyer.

[Mastermind]

D has them set to auto-renew. So I doubt they would be expiring in any reasonable time.

I'm talking about this quote:

You didnt decide, you were forced to because of a redirectional thing. Next time say that, not sugarcoat it.

[Banshee]

No, we decided. We could have bought it from Detail and kept the domain.

[Agent_Smith]

And we didnt because...?

[Hostile]

Many should have done what I did. I buy my own domains. Than if I leave they go with me. I don't have this issue cause I own my internet real estate as D owns his internet real estate.

If even a teenager chose not to eat Mcd's twice, they could have bought thier domain outright themselves.

I pay $8.95 a year. That's chump change when compared to the amount of leverage I maintain over my own internet real estate.

This should be a learning lesson for some. But also, some of this was purchased while we did not have have alot of say about it. I would ALWAYS suggest one "choose" to buy thier own domains.

I agree with MM here. Yes, the domains were his, but by and large they cost him nothing. What I don't get is why he bothered to auto-renew...I mean look at it like this. All it's gonna do is cost him more money than he'll make if he sells for 200quid a pop like he tried to.

The decision that was made was the best one that could've been made. Chaos, quit bitching about it Other than a few missing hyphens and a coupla broken links for a short time, nothing has changed in the slightest. If I were you I'd snaffle one of the other miasmaentertainment possibles and use that instead. Alternately it wouldnt be hard to find another, shorter, domain name.

Because were were not going to pay more money to give domains when similar .nets were avaliable for about 1/4 of the price D was asking for the originals.

[Ash]

I didn't quote MM's post for the good of my health, Tom

[Tom]

Well i choose to read your post for the good of my health.

[Ash]

Good. Then at least take onboard what you read.

[Godwin]

Dammit it would've been nice to inform hostees beforehand?

[Ash]

If we'd have had full knowledge, we might have, Godwin...Hybrid and MM did try for quite a while to negotiate for the domains.

[ComradeJ]

So, am I the only one who thinks D should lose his powers to post in the Senate/Staff/Admin(?) section?
