The Move

So after all the trouble with Yahoo! web hosting I moved the forum. Unfortunately, sticklove.com is stuck on Yahoo! for a whole year due to the fact that I just renewed it a month ago. Since they don't offer refunds for bad service, the move was necessary. For the next week, the forum is going to be very buggy until we replace all links in the database with new ones. Marvin and I will be working on fixing the database, and I'll also redo the old theme and restore the chatbox again in the upcoming week. Until then, you guys can still do stuff as normal (if your eyes can take this bright theme), and hopefully within a week or so things will be back to the way they were. Also, let me know if, when, and where things are broken and I will try to fix them as soon as possible.

Thanks for your patience,
Steven

What of the Sticklove name though? How's it going to work now? :runcry:

Guess we will REALLY have to get our asses into gear to work on that main banner. :LOL:

A few more months and Sticklove could've been two. :(

You guys are too nice he he he.

See what happens with the name when you order any type of web hosting is that the name is tied to it for however long you ordered that plan. Yahoo! sets up an account for you and ties the domain "sticklove" to that account. Once it is tied to an account, they will not change it should you have second thoughts about your domain name. In other words, if I wanted to keep Yahoo! webhosting but change the name, they won't let you -- you'd have to order another plan (pay $100 a year for another account and domain). Even though it's only a 10 minute job to change the domain lol -- it's purely a money-making scheme and to prevent people from changing their domains every other day.

So yes, I could have made this sticklove.com as well, but then what would happen to my Yahoo! account that I paid $120 just last month for? I would have to eat it because they won't let me change the domain name (I would have to cancel the plan and waste $120). They don't give refunds either even though the problem is on their end (they blame PHPBB for the problems even though we haven't seen any database crashes yet here).

Today I'll try and get the chatbox back, and also I have to update links to all the recap banners.

Oh btw, all the links in the first posts of all recaps are going to be broken unless you used the POST= BBCODE lol. This is going to be crazy but I think Marv and I can whip up some code to change all the links (I hope) so we don't have to do it manually LMAO. So from now on, in case we have to move again, please use POST= instead of URL.
