That's no secret really, I believe he made that URL public last year.

[xyle_one]

oh.   :cool:

[Pissed_Macman]

So this isn't the new title, it's just another in the large family of domains that lead here?

Yes Macman, apparently last year this website could've gotten a mention on CNN or another big news channel (MSNBC would've been a hoot!) and it was cancelled because of the cursive word.  So as a more positive public image the Webmaster made the  www.freemypc.com  as an alternative.

I dont know if there will be any new domains.

[Faust]

But freemypc still has the big F word at the top so they won't link to it anyway...

[Aaron Ni]

The URL is all PC happy happy person like, just when they go to the website they happen to see in big letters "FUCK".  So it's safe for the URL to be publicised.

[Pissed_Macman]

No, he said he was going to change the TITLE of the site, not just the domain.

[Master of Reality]

ya, i think there is going to be a relatively large change.

[lazygamer]

Ok thas cool, however... I want the exact same board rules as before. No swear words in the site title, but if people wanna swear on the boards they can.  

[Master of Reality]

that will probly be close... the webmaster doesnt like censorship

[Pissed_Macman]

Good. If we can't swear then I'm leaving.

Yes, you can still swear all you want in the forums, but I'm currently "retouching" the language on some of the pages of the (non-forum) site itself.

I haven't figured out how to deal with the Feedback section.  I'll leave people's e-mail text as is, but make slight modifications here and there in my replies, unless the profanity really fits.  Naturally, all references to fuckMicrosoft.com will be replaced with the new name.  I'm not sure how to deal with references within people's letters, but I'll probably put [NewSiteName] in to replace them or something.

You can probably see traces of the new name creeping into the Forums right now, actually.  Notice it yet?  Look around.  You'll see it.

i think you should leave their messages intact (minus the site name of course) to sorta show them in a bad light. To me it makes them look immature in inept. even though we curse on the boards, whatever.

Is it just me, or is the old site name still around? Did you just forget to replace it?
