    !Important - Domain shift [Phase 3] - dot Org/Net Users Please Read!!!

    As part of an ongoing process to 'merge' all our 3 domains into one
    we have put in place as of now the following:

    [Phase 1] (11/20/2009)
    Adjustments to:
    - subscriptions and site settings
    - images
    - status pages and 'non forum content
    to reflect .com

    Minimal effect on site users and external forces.



    [Phase 2] (07/03/2010)
    All .org and .net references in posts and signatures are changed automatically
    to point to .com
    Clean up any left over settings and links to dON

    Massive effect on site users and external forces, due to url rewrites changing locations.



    [Phase 3.1] (11/02/2010)
    Redirect all traffic from dON sites to dC while maintaining visiting location.
    Notify users of what has happened.

    [Phase 3.2]
    Removal of message, and redirect gracefully and transparently.




    Phase 3.1 is currently in effect.
    All users are advised to use cainslair.com in the future.
    Accessing via a non www address and IP is still allowed,
    and are unlikely to be effected or restricted in the future.

    Phase 3.2 will take effect after the 1st of January 2011.

    Please be sure to use a .com address, and alter any bookmarks where needed.

    We apologise for any hassle this causes, but you can also imagine the issues and burdens this will lesson on our end.




    I'm not insane. I'm just overwhelming!

    As long as there is Scotch Whiskey available to help with the transition, I am sure all will be well!

      Well i'm still a bit twitchie about diverting the traffic, but it has to be done.
      Bad enough the site can have any subdomain...
      never mind any of 3 normal domains...

      I have nightmares about what can go wrong!
      lmao

      Is 1-2 things that may go wrong, we ran this phase set before back in 2008,
      but things went nuts with outside services like paypal etc when we got to here.

      Hopefully over the last year those issues have cleared up.

      As for the scotch... I'm sure i could get you some of the best there is!
