When changing over the forums we have a choice to move to a new URL.
Something like http://thehill.silvertails.net or forum.silvertails.net etc
Just wondering what everyones thoughts are on this. It may lead to confusion but we have the following to way up
- Google has already indexed http://silvertails.net/forums and I can't redirect requests for specific threads to the new forums
- People may get confused and be used to the current system.
Just wondering how you would all feel about a different URL for the forums, is it too confusing already and you fear change?
If we move to a new URL I can keep this forum up for historical purposes and leave it as read only for everyone or I can just phase it out completely.
It doesn't make a huge difference but the less traffic that comes through this forum the better.
Thoughts?
