I now own robotcombatgames.com
 
Would you like this forum to be robotcombatgames.com instead of gametechmods.com (I can make both lead here......just change the name to robotcombatgames instead of gametechmods)

awesome ACAMS, I rather like the name GameTechMods to be honest but I guess RCG has a nice ring to it ??

Maybe I can make a page on robotcombatgames.com and link here to the forum....I need ideas.
 
I also own ra2.us, but only use it when I need a short address
 
I would like to make a robotcombatgames.com page so google will find it when people search for robot combat, so it needs interesting stuff on it.

The poll doesn't work. XD

Anyway, the redirecting might be the most logical choice, since most of the RA2 videos in youtube have links to this site. :D

[Edit] Oh, the poll's for Advanced users. XD

how about transferring the home page of this site to robotcombatgames.com and having GTM link straight to the forum index?

Maybe somebody (even anybody) can make a cool background splash with robots and pictures of Robot Arena 1 and 2 and Robot Wars games...even Robot rage pictures in widescreen like 1440 X 900 and I will just link to this forum and use it for a link to robot combat games.

and would botm or the tools/other links be on that page? because if it links directly to this forum people would have to then go to the main page from that.

Hey... maybe make it a contest kinda like BOTM or the Skinning contest?  A bunch or us can create a splash based on your rules for how you want it to look and we can all vote.  Or you can just pick the one you like or something. I dunno, people around this forum are really competitive so it might be a fun alternative to bot building.

Yes, you have to join if you want to post...just like all forums.
 
It is just so we can see how it works just incase I have to replace vbulletin....which is no longer supported, and spam bots hit us regularly now....just wait till it is not updated and they all know how th spam us.
 
The new site can be spammed or whatever, as it will be deleted after testing is done. ( I have no idea how long that will be)
I need to see if I can skin it and make other mods.

Now, now,... Please pick the appropriate solution:
...A. I ate two crows. (numerate)
...B. You ate one too. (adverb)
...C. I went to the store. (preposition)
...D. You should learn to speak the word 'to'. (infinitive)
 
 
BTW, I had a good teacher on this word myself...

The new site looks ok via a quick look; I'll join and check it out more thoroughly later...

while on the subject was my RCG splash entry ok with the rules and everything?
Title: New domain
Post by: ACAMS on October 28, 2009, 09:58:26 PM
Yes, but I only got 2 entries so I am gonna do something else. (you have won enough tournaments anyway)
 
I really like the header you made tho.
 
Duck submitted the other one and it is real nice too
 
I had trouble making the background image work on ALL screen resolutions, so I am gonna have to go a different route.
 
THANKS for the effort guy's.......maybe I can make up for it later.

OK, I installed a new version of Simple Machines at RCG and need a few of you to register and post feedback. You shpould....if I set it right have to make 4 posts before you don't have to go through the verification process......please test for me, and post what happened in the section I just made.

I think I can make it look exactly like this forum, and not lose any posts.....IF we have to change forum software (this one is no longer supported and gets spammed)

So you want to change GTM to RCG? Why? Other than the spambots and JB and stuff.


JK JB you're awesome. :P

Post by: ACAMS on November 16, 2009, 08:33:17 AM
NO, I am testing forum software over there....This is Version 3.6.8 and no longer supported and vBulletin wants $285.00 for me to update to their latest, which is 4.0 and completely different. I installed a spam blacklist here, and it slowed them, but we still get spam bots and the new Simple Machine will stop all but the human spammers.

It is not a new site......it is a forum software test site and the forum will be closed when testing is done. I will leave the main page because it is a google link to here.

I don't like a change of this site if we could potentially lose posts (that aren't chatterbox). I've heard about when the stock showcase section was lost forever, and I wouldn't want that happening here.
Title: New domain
Post by: ACAMS on November 20, 2009, 08:10:00 PM
No posts will be lost, and this will not even change as long as the spam bots leave us alone.....unless you guy's like the setup of the new forum better.

I wonder if it is worth the trouble....
 
Anybody that wants full access, just let me know and I will either figure out how to give full access, or give you my password.
 
I checked the box to allow everybody to sign up, but I don't know what that does.
