I should have known better if Ryan was in favor of it.

... I'm still neutral. There's no reason we have to use it. The site would be just fine without, so it's really whatever is popular with you guys.

Will the forum addresses still be in the 'forumserver.twoplustwo.com' format?



We've decided not to use a subdomain for the new forums. There are several reasons for that, but the biggest is that doing it the way it is now screws with the site's statistics. In certain spots we get counted as two sites.

Apparently changing it will screw with the site's statistics.

Not me, but this will suck since posters w/ jobs > posters w/o jobs. There has got to be other ways to access it right?

This is the internet. There's always ways around things. killa is technical, maybe he can chime in.

Also, I doubt every person with a job will be affected by it. I can't imagine that most employers have www.twoplustwo.com in their filter. I think the net loss will be nominal between people being unaffected and those finding a workaround. If it was substantial I would hope 2+2 would consider a return to forumserver so those missing out can resume slacking. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

masking the URL is the best I can come up with perhaps going to the direct IP. but I need a Guinea pig I don't have a filter or proxy at my shop so I can't test if it works or not.

The reason forumserver gets passed (I think) is that www.twoplustwo.com (and with out www) is flagged gambling by the filters by default

I'm surprised more prefix wildcard filters aren't applied but I digress.

Anywa some working shmo whos normally blocked and wants to dedicate some time with me for like an hour I'll try and figure out a work around

I sent ray a test thing but he hasnt responded yet
