Old links should still work but you might want to edit your bookmarks, if you have any
Old cookies will probably hang around forever, or until I properly put a script together. You can delete them manually if you're so inclined in the meantime.
Ummm, is that it? Guru was supposed to make this announcement, so that's all I remember of the high points.
Oh yeah, let us know if you see any oddness related to the URL change. Thanks Promote this thread! | | Guru Zim

Sorta - the board thought you didn't have a cookie. And, technically, you didn't!Originally posted by EddieBurkett I see that all the referrals are updating to the new site, but will the name change affect the pagerank here for the next go round of the googlebots?
If I have everything set correctly, the bots should relist all their entries just like they did with the LAST name change. Our PageRank will probably fluctuate between the two names for a month or so or whatever, and then settle on the new one. Our Alexa one will be hosed, however. ;-)Originally posted by geemoney Was there a reason for the name change?
Would you settle for "the name became available?" | SirBubNorm

Eh, doesn't really matter to me.
Edit: So are we gonna "WWE" this thing, and always refer to it as if it's been "The W" (even though that was a nickname some people used anyways), or what?

I could deal with the fact that we were no longer a 'Ville' because of legal reasons. Other than that... meh?

Yeah, being just a plain old W's ain't quite the same. If it helps at all you'll always be a Wiener in my eyes Jag
