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?

--James

(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.

-Chris

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)

--James

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)

--James

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

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?

-jim

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 :)

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 ;).

-jim

Exactly - you're methodology would have made it ubbhackers.net :)

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

-jim

...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"* :)

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

I'm not even sure - but I had to come back with something, didn't I? :p

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

-jim

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.

Whats wrong with the vBulletin Code Hacks forum on vbulletin.com?

mark - the idea would be to provide space for hacks and such.

soudns good then. You need to set up a proper links database and stuff .

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...

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

Wait... I just changed it to point to
http://vbulletin.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?forumid=8

--James

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

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...

nor can I
