Next time the forum gets moved, maybe give a better warning?

[j_c_hallgren]

So this evening, I signed back on to my PC...started bringing up my usual sites I check daily via Favorites...clicked on XY forum...got a 404 Not Fnd!
Ok... so what had happened to my XY Admin and my fellow users???

Humm...went back to main site...and it took a minute to figure out where it had gone! Renamed and moved to different path...ah!

I thought I was paying attention...did I miss a warning about this change?
Or should there have been a redirect from old URL like most sites do?

Anyway, back to being

lol, yeah got me worried too at first

I dont think there was any "warnings" no, but when the move was made from TV3 to XY there was a redirection, if Don didn't set one up this time it might be cause he forgot, or lazyness or it might be on purpose trying to avoid some robots or something like that? :unsure:

HAHA, I thought let's give them a quick little brain gym; real XY Fanatics will easily find the way. And they did!

Welcome back from summer camp, jc! BTW, I'll go there soon. You'll get an official notice then.

Lazy, me? No, hiding the tracks indeed had the purpose you guessed:
- make "life" a bit harder for robots and astroturfers
- clean the google cache: google indexed almost the whole forum, which might be the reason that xyplorer.com is not found at all when you google for "file manager" (apparently; I stopped looking after paging through 500 search results... ).
