Site Updates

[Inoculator9]

Lol... perhaps... but I've seen that site myself, when I wanted to visit Sihaya-Tuek, which had the same url.

What is it Gob? Do you know, lol?

Nice addition to the main page with the Emperor Ladder. www.dune2k.com (right bar)

That should attract more people to play knowing they get their name on the main page if they try hard enough. (more competition)

Who will win November? ;)

[Dunenewt]

This thread is massive now!

[Andrew]

This thread is massive now!

Massive indeed.

I just realized that the recent posts isn't on the main page anymore, although I agree it should have been the one to be removed rather than recent files and popular files.

Site Updates 1 and 2 were combined... :D

[Gobalopper]

As you may have noticed the server is a little slow as we are doing some security updates.

[Andrew]

Yes I did notice that. Hope you do some general updates as well. ;) (I only got lagged out for about 5 min, then it started working again slowly)

[Gobalopper]

I'm not doing the updates PhaseBurn is. I've got exams to worry about. :)

[Andrew]

Cool, I got exams also, and they will be determining whether or not I go back next semester, and the next semester will determine whether I go back for 3rd year. :(

Any explanation about http://maps.dune2k.com/

? (It doesn't look like a fed2k type site...)

[Gobalopper]

It goes to the main dune2k.com site for me.

[Andrew]

Interesting, It does for me too now... but before it went to some kids webpage. Heres a small preview:

Anyone elses internet really messed up now? (an online game im in is screwed up)

[Gobalopper]

That is just another site on our server not a hosted site. There is no hosted site at that address anymore.

[mechadragon]

Why was it mapped to a dune2k.com subdomain in the first place?

Also, I have wondered about this page:

http://www.webfxmall.com/sdi/dune2k.html

[Gobalopper]

It was the default domain on our IP address. So anything that didn't exist went there, now it goes to our site instead.

That link is the website of the people who used to own the domain name before they gave it to me.

[lowzeewee]

Cost:$7500 :O

[Andrew]

Cost:$7500 :O

I believe that price is much higher than todays standards, as more people know how to make webpages on thir own. It is also inflated from over the years. (like 7 years)

But yah, 7500 is a lot for a website.

[lowzeewee]

Wow,Gob's bank account must be dried up by now because of this site. :O

[Gobalopper]

I never paid for that. As I said we got the domain from the guy who used to have it for free.

[mechadragon]

Ahh... I didn't know that you weren't the original owner of the TDL! I always thought they were trying to take credit for your work. In one sense though, should anyone visit thier site and then look at yours, they may think that all of this is thier doing anyway. But at $7500, they would probably go elsewhere anyway.

Hey Mahdi, there's someone here called Bikita Mahdi from Canada, is she your sister or something? You'll most likely have to run a search for her name unless you like reading about non-smoking pubs...

Wasn't sure where else to put this since I thought others would be interested so IM was out...

[Gobalopper]

Mahdi's real name is not Mahdi, just like my real name is not Gobalopper.

[Nyarlathotep]

Mahdi's real name is not Mahdi, just like my real name is not Gobalopper.

You fooled me ;D

Anyways, how come I have an American flag next to my name in "who's online", while the member map clearly states I am from The Netherlands ? Punishment ?

;D

[Timenn]

The flag in the who's online page is determined on what ISP you have. So people with foreign providers will have a foreing flag.

However, I believe I once saw yours and that one is Dutch (for sure)

I never liked that system anyway...

[Gobalopper]

Did you change ISP's or travel to the US?

[Nyarlathotep]

Did you change ISP's or travel to the US?

No I didn't change ISP's (yet) and with travel to the US, I think you aim that I took my pc with me ? => No I didn't..

And yes Timenn, my ISP is very Dutch.. better yet, it's local to my home town :)

The flag is Dutch now again though. I think it's related to "hide online status" and the google adds...
