Lo all

I know some of you are talking about setting up a 'www.vbhackers.com' resource, and I would like to help out.

I would like to register the domain name, and possibly do the web hosting too - and wanted to know if this would be ok. I don't wanna tread on people's toes or anything.

What u think?

(PS - obviously those involved will have full access to it so they can develope it)

Sounds great to me as well... it would be nice to have a comparable fourm to ubbhackers.com for vBulletin. I'll even offer to host the site on my new server if you would like.

sounds good :)

OK - I will register it now...

Is your server a proper server ie DNS server, and it can be set up correctly ie it keeps the domains address in the bar (unlike Geocities as an example)

OK

http://www.vbhackers.com is registered now - it will be active in 24hrs. :)

All we need now is urm... content.

oh and that host :)

Do you think John/James will let us put a vBulletin on it without paying for another license?
(I lease my license)

Umm... thanks for your offer and effort and all, but we're already set with the domain vbulletin.org and have hosting already too :)

07-19-2000, 05:59 PM
Yea, the official domain will be vbulletin.org. You're welcome to forward the vbhackers.com domain to the real domain, since the site will be part of the ubbhackers.com network.

ack :(

Too late to cancel it too :/

Stupid me for not co-ordinating it with u lot first :(

".org"?

If it is part of the UBB Code Hackers Network, wouldn't a ".net" be better? Or do John & James already have possession of that?

nope vbulletin.net is still available :D

this is an interesting project - shame i have no php knowledge :(

Jim - should it be PlanetQuake.net, PlanetUnreal.net, BGChronicles.net then :) Since they're all on the Gamespy Network.

And then it would also involve UHC being ubbhackers.net instead :)

07-19-2000, 10:20 PM
Isn't it ubbhackers.com? If it were "ubb.org" for example I could see where you're coming from, but, well, heck I don't know, it was just a random brain-fart ;).

Isn't it ubbhackers.com?Exactly - you're methodology would have made it ubbhackers.net :)

07-20-2000, 02:27 AM
No, by your methodology it should be vbhackers.com. Oh nevermind, this is possibly the lamest argument that I care absolutley nothing about ;). It just looked odd to me when I read vbulletin.org - it sounds funny. Personally, I like vB.net - it can be "The vBnet". Hrm, you may have some competition there, Ed :). j/k

...do whateva you gotta do, Flyers boy ;)

Oooh! Now it's personal, Devil Fan 2 of 6 :D

*adds check in PM hack so it won't work for anyone named "Jim"* :)

07-20-2000, 03:49 AM
You know, I think we're arguing for the sake of arguing :)

Hehe, and maybe I'm taking this for granted, but what was my methodology? :D

07-20-2000, 04:05 AM
I'm not even sure - but I had to come back with something, didn't I? :p

"2 of 6" - that's lowwwww ;)

Arguing about domain names....
2000 years of recorded history, and all we can come up with is discussing domain names?? ;)

I mean, I've got a .org myself, but I don't have an organisation, or something.

07-20-2000, 08:35 AM
Whats wrong with the vBulletin Code Hacks forum on vbulletin.com?

07-20-2000, 09:55 AM
mark - the idea would be to provide space for hacks and such.

07-20-2000, 09:57 AM
soudns good then. You need to set up a proper links database and stuff .

07-20-2000, 11:45 AM
I don't get it at all...vBulletin.org is a bad idea IMO...VBHackers.com is much better, comparable to UBBHackers, and makes more sense right off the bat...

07-20-2000, 11:56 AM
Well, http://www.vbhackers.com is registered and pointing to http://www.moose-shack.org.uk.

If you lot still want http://www.vbhackers.com then you are welcome to use it - after all, that was why I registered it.

--James

07-20-2000, 12:00 PM
Wait... I just changed it to point to
http://vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=8

Mark - it's for more than just hacks actually, see http://www.ubbhackers.com for a UBB related, but similar site.

07-23-2000, 02:47 AM
I see the site as covering more than just code hacks, but being a community resource for everything vBulletin related.

Yea, we could've gone with vBHackers.com, but since our goal with that site (originally was going to be ultimatebulletinboard.org -- but it was too long ;)) would be to cover styles, images, hacks, forum listings -- anything and everything.

.ORG domains make me think of a non-profit, community run, and honest sites. .COM should be left for the commercial sites, as it is with vBulletin.com. Blah, I'm rambling again :)

Anyways, its not a problem to use multiple domain names forwarding to one site, so that isn't really an issue. We will have some cool stuff in store for ya, so stay tuned!

i can't wait...

07-23-2000, 02:25 PM
nor can I
