It's official, 68KMLA.ORG has been registered and as soon as dns servers update, it will be active.68kmla.org will be a little different as it will have the dns servers, php, sql and mail mx records that point to Da Penguin's machine. So, if you have any questions about this domain, you will need to direct them to Da Penguin. :) |

Just so I've got this straight.... 68kmla.NET links to these forums, and 68kmla.ORG will link to Da Penguin  - - - - - - - - - - - - -

As members can see now I did a somewhat dark yet gracefull frontpage that simply links you directly to these forums.Da Penguin will be going over the server in a bit when he has time and I get around to sending him the access passwords :P (I'm so slow) and he will make final changes how he wants it, for now that's like a front door so folks know what to do. Enjoy. :)

Excellent! The page works nicely. If you add some text to that page, then search engines will start finding it. This will increase the chance that more traffic gets funneled to us and away from the horrible 68kmla.com squatter. Good Work! G4From128k by Day: Mild-Mannered Engineer and Trapeze(tm) Artist

If the intention is to redirect to here, why not do this?<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="5;URL=default.asp.html">
<title>Redirecting..................</title>
</head>
</html> '5' is the number of seconds before the page redirects, you could make it a 0 (zero) instead. - - - - - - - - - - - - -

This domain will soon be responsible for hosting DNS for Da Penguin's other domains so it might be setup a little different.For now this works and gives people something pretty to look at. I think Black & White go nicely. :)

so... you can't just point the domain to the forums like the .net?or is there some "master plan" that you're following? Official 68k videographer

Penguin and I talked it over and we agreed it might be usefull and neat to have a small html frame which would contain in the lower frame the forums, and the top frame would contain quick links to other areas on 68kmla.org, since using that system it will be easier to update web content since Penguin can just ftp in and change things. Plus all the information you need will be at your fingertips when you browse here.I would assume (bad of me yes) that most users here use browsers that can handle frames. Anyways, nothing official yet, just some thoughts that were passed around. For now I think the page is fine, I don't want to do anything else with it since there is more work to do relating to dns than anything else. Soon all 3 domains Penguin has should be hooked up for the ultimate experience. :)

Oh, and no I can't point the domain directly to the forums as this domain is connected via a full fledged dns and Apache system, it's not like those web based domain systems where you input where you want your name pointing, this domain resolves directly to a folder on the Apache server, so, um, heheh, not happening just yet.:) Also, Penguin got a good deal, he got 2 years on this domain for the price of one year. Cool eh?

OK, I setup a dns record so if you type:http://forum.68kmla.org/68kmla/ it will point directly to these forums. :)

Methinks that you guys should suss out exactly what you want to do, do your testing, and then advertise URL's.I mean what the hell is the point of http://forum.68kmla.org/68kmla/ when default.asp.html is just as easy to remember. OK, for you it is an exercise in setting up a dns record, but for the rest of us it is yet another link to 68kMLA. Don't get me wrong, I am amazed at the efforts you guys are going to to get this project off the ground. I just don't think we need more confusion. Oh, and another thing (although this would probably be more appropriate in another thread, but I can't be buggered openeing another window...) All that hoo ha about the web squatter that's 'stolen' our original domain name... I imagine that they are laughing their a** off by coming here and reading about how much they have upset us. I say it's time to move on and concentrate on effective use of the new domain names.

LOVE IT!!!
effective use of anything is key... and I wont, again, go into some of the crazy ideas that I certainly have for the domains
let's just say that it has to do with "subdomains"  Official 68k videographer

Actually it's all part of my scheme to make a milion posts and outscore cory by the end of the month by putting constant updates on the dns settings.Hmm, 3AM, dns changed IP again,, darn ISP, oh, that was me. :P But I also though members would appreciate seeing the progress of the domain. About the new owner of 68kmla.org, I was upset at first but really right now I couldn't care less, he has a domain that isn't worth the money he paid for it. Why? Because domains like his being so called "portals" are the plague of the internet and most people hate them, all they are is a vacuum to suck up users who stray there looking for something that existed a long time ago. This whole internet thing should be considered a personal hobby ground. Clean up your area, and don't mess it up for other folks. So, they can keep the name, I actually laugh because they probably paid a tidy sum to register for those programs to aquire domains that are expiring, I recall looking into that once and the prices where somewhat high, at least the ones done in bulk, they are nothing but a huge giant network of search pages with links after links, nothing tangible. It cost like a good 70US per name or something to register and that doesn't count the actual membership fee. So all being said, this squatter probably paid a good 100US at least for the name unless prices have dropped. So, the joke's on him now.

subdomains can just point to different hosts, or to a deeper folder on ciricons server. There is no limit, as far as I have looked into atleast, on the number you can have.~The Penguin **| Want free 68kmla email? Drop me a line |**

No, there is no limit to the number of sub domains. They can resolve to folders or to IP addresses. Sometimes you can create a DNS loop so that say if you have a sql server on another host but your program needs it to be on the current domain you can fool it into thinking the server is on the same domain.For example, if the server is sql.literatureclassics.com then you can fool any program on your domain that the real server is at sql.68kmla.org. If you do a google search you can find lots of articles on DNS. Although the actual ways it can be used are only a few, the results are vast. :)
