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?

It can be done, IMHO I am grateful for this site and think we should leave the URL as it is.

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 ;)

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.
