hehe, I doubt that site gets enough traffic to matter :)
Oh, don't be all humble...you know there are more queries on Google for "Electronic Punk" than "Britney Spears"
:p
 
2 of the most popular celebrities in a single thread! :D Should insert google code in here somewhere so you can make use of all that traffic that's gonna rush though :D
 
Great article! Just goes to show how the simplest of things can produce such high results. A point I'm always trying to make with various designers and clients. +reps :)
 
Thanks for the reps Resilient ;)

ROFL - EP, that's legendary :D Googlebots certainly hit OSNN fast.
 
haha, now that's power. EP has media power through google.
 
I feel the need to bump this thread due to the sheer beauty of it's content, and to praise it for surviving the crash :)
 
I see that you have put a blurb on the main pages of your old sites stating you have moved. You may want to have the page automatically re-direct within a say 5-10 second interval, to pass visitors to your new sites?

That is not exactly the way I am currently going to do it. I want to forward all forum requests as well, so that i don't kill any old links. Also, having it meta refresh is bad, as it breaks the back button.

Uhm yeah. No meta redirect. It's called a http redirect, which means that back buttons work.

Cough all you want, you won't win.

The fact is, that a meta redirect is evil. w3.org has a good document about it, here: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tips/reback , also see the link to the Top-10 mistakes.

Booyah.
 
hehe on the booyah :)

Well, you know I'm not much of a coder. Did I say something that would have implied a meta redirect over a http redirect? I didnt know the terminology, just the process :)

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
