Forum URL change


Recommended Posts

We are likely to change in the next couple of weeks the URL from epicdot.com/forum to epicdot.com and have the forum in root of the folder. It was initially done this way to avoid clashes and allow testing when SMF first was installed, then the social network site and finally vbulletin. I think we now have found a stable environment and can start the 'clean-up' process removing old files. Search engines also like the root folder as in epicdot.com and not epicdot.com/forum. Not sure when since it requires database backup, migrate, move files etc. I need some good time for it.

Another problem is that search engines have already used the .com/forum for a while, and if you now google search for 'epicdot' there are many more results coming up. Our site is also being hit by new visitors as well as from a global point of view. Might be better to just leave things 'as they are'.

I will analyse some stats and review in a week's time. Will certainly remove the old files as a start :)
