Since the new logo was voted in recently, and there was talk about changing the URL fro this site to "Ducatimonsterforum.org", wouldn't it be better to do it sooner than later?
I was thinking that all the links that we use in posts will become broken, kinda poopie for all the links pointing to FAQ's and other useful posts like that :-\
I know that the flounders ( [laugh] love that name) already own the "Ducatimonsterforum.org" URL, but one of my questions is how hard is it to change it over?
maybe just redirect ducatimonsterforums.org to this site?

yeah.. if you type in wikipedia.com it automatically redirects you to wikipedia.org
It can be done, IMHO I am grateful for this site and think we should leave the URL as it is.

Thanks chipo!!
Yes, it can be done very easily using apache. Once a decision is made, we'll set it up - no worries.
edit: I felt I should edit this to point out that it can actually done about 5 different ways before I have some other nerd jump all over me ;)

I'm single, 28, don't own my own my own home, go on snowboarding trips year round...what else do I have to worry about other than MY FAVORITE FRIGGIN' WEBSITE DAMMIT!!!
Don't you take that away from me Daryl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :'( :'( :'(
[laugh]
Yes change it and put everything on redirect... I have several websites but many URLs, you should be using redirect and keep the shortest and most catch as the primary. I like "forums" better than "worldwide" do it early (get it over with before membership numbers go higher) and nobody will know the difference if you redirect anyways.

Yeah no worries a quick DNS change or just forward the domain as mentioned earlier. Nothin to it. [thumbsup]
The only holdup is me getting off my ass and finding some paperwork and giving some info to the web-smart guys.
It's on my list. Promise.
Thanks Christopher Robinson...
Funny, my brother in law's name is Ian Christopher Robinson...
just to beat the point to death. We're on it. and to settle some fears, we'll do our best to make sure existing links don't break as well [thumbsup]

There might be some login issues we have to work out using http://ducatimonsterforum.org/
If you can't login with it, use the worldwide.org
mitt
I am logged in with forum, but it seems considerably slower than WW...
Damn we're fast! 8)
<I am not in the 'we', I don't touch any buttons that change important stuff here :P >
Another thing, the url always shows www.ducatimonsterforum.org no matter what page I'm on...
Glad I can do my part to bring this matter up to the top.
To all thankful DMFers, I accept paypal donations.
your welcome and goodnight!

I was being cheeky.
The geeks are going to rearrange things so it will work.
It's not as simple as just pushing a couple of buttons.

What's the time frame on this changeover? I'm in no hurry, but if it's going to happen soon, I'll hold off on the second 'Bikes of the DMF' video until it is finalized.. and will modify the opening screen accordingly. [thumbsup]

Ah hah, so I see. Someone want to make a call on this - should I use
www.ducatimonsterforum.com in the video? dot ORG? No hurry, eh.. I need to contact peeps to get some larger photos if I can - might take a couple of days.
Cheers.

dot ORG would be the ticket [thumbsup]
please don't use the new address yet. it might work for you, it might not. it might pretend to work and then randomly cause you problems. When I get to fixing it, theres a good possibilitiy it'll stop working for a period of time. In otherwords, use at your own risk.
for all of the reasons above, please don't publicize the new address yet.
:)
What really needs to be done is to redirect www.Ducatimonster.org over to www.Ducatimonsterforum.org/Welcomeback ;D
