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
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? Could this be part of an elaborate scheme to reclaim the board?

"How many poles did you get?" "I got just enough for . . . ninja!"
I take it then that my submission of Chermake Hot Dogs, the official Hot Dog of Lambeau Field, may never see the light of day at the top of this lovely Board?
Originally posted by Joe E. NitroI take it that was the cause of the sudden log-out while I was on the site?
Sorta - the board thought you didn't have a cookie. And, technically, you didn't!

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 geemoneyWas there a reason for the name change?
In case anyone was wondering: weinerboard.com still tells you that you can't spell, however it is updated with the new URL info. In case you're thinking about messing up the new URL, thew.com goes to a web hosting site.
It's a dog eat dog world and I'm wearing milkbone undershorts.
Um, so we can't call each other "Wieners" anymore? But we're WIENERS, damnit, not wussy little "w"'s!
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'll say for the record that while I realize telling someone you're reading "The W" is a lot less embarrasing, the fact that we are no longer officially Wiener's really sucks. 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
Oh, and have I been paying no attention lately or did the 'chickens' just become X's too after the name change?
I think I should start a pool on how long it's going to be before someone else implies there's something wrong with the randomizer. I give it three weeks. :)
