Or is it way more complicated? If he's smart, he should settle for something instead of staying behind with nothing but a domain, with the option to sell it to somebody who would actually pay for it He said his original plan for this website was to use it for ad revenue because of the traffic this website has. 1 Link to comment

It is sort of refreshing to have the domain change but also a little downside for the public side as we've been using the domain for so long now. Anyhow, folks are doing such great job here and I appreciate everyone's work and effort in the community. Thank you for keeping us all posted! Link to comment

I know I've been away for some time since I did not have a computer, but SG is what I call a second home. 1 Link to comment

I imagine it's not the most popular idea for obvious reasons but I'm really curious how something like that would be affected by copyright. There is some discussions on some of the countries TLD suffix's you have to host the server in that country to use it. I do not know those particulars, however, there is a more concern expecially with the Steam community that .rs domains can be more risky for phishing and we may lose people just because of that. @Caution : With us changing name.. Ryan loses any right and we get the community back? Or is it way more complicated? If he's smart, he should settle for something instead of staying behind with nothing but a domain, with the option to sell it to somebody who would actually pay for it We've always owned our servers and content, he has always only had ownership over the domain and web hosting of the main forum. Again, this baffles me that people would buy domains with no assets behind them. Yes someone could buy it but they would be buying it the same way he has with nothing else than a domain name. We should probably send out a mass email to notify all users In addition to that we also plan to send out steam group messages and stuff in advanced. Link to comment
