Domain name change back to theville.org

Post by black_and_blue » Sat Sep 14, 2013 8:22 am

So I opened my browser this morning and went to http://thevilluns.org, only to be redirected to http://theville.org.

We got the old domain name back? That's awesome! When and how did this happen?

There was some persuasion, and consequently Dog buried a few people in the Canadian tundra.

Long live theville.org!!

The coup was a long bloody battle, our guardians took on the nasty bad guys and won.
The victory has been emblazoned upon the pages of history.
WE SHALL NEVER FAIL with the exception of Mateo of course.

The certain entity that bought it in the first place had their project fail. :wink:

For those who don't follow Zynga, they are losing money fast. They cut 80% of their projects, one including "The Ville', which is why they bought the domain in the first place. They are getting rid of employees, their stocks are worth 1/8th of what they were a year ago, and their profits are 1/20th. Their investors are pulling out.

There may be issues as we migrate back to theville, so let me know fo stuff that doesn't quite work as expected.

Known issues:
Reserved slots: rs.theville.org
iPads don't work properly on portal page

I hope Dog at least got something in the end for his trouble and I'm not just saying that because the the ville holding onto a small piece of the falling Zynga's money is an amusing image.

I use chrome and I couldn't access the site until I deleted my cookies. It kept sending me into a redirect loop.

They paid us for the domain originally. And since their efforts failed, we have reclaimed it.

I wondered who would be the first to notice. As usual, B&B doesn't disappoint!
