Life In 19x19

Yes, I agree it would be nice to have the domain redirect here. I say this because there are countless Go websites which link to godiscussions.com - not much good if that becomes a broken link or if someone else buys that domain.

What is the status of the archive effort? I am unable to access posts on GoDiscussions.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Sorry, my internship semester ended and a school term began just as I was getting started on that, two months ago My free time dropped to 0. However, the worst of the school term is over now, so I'll be resuming this effort shortly. By the time August rolls around I'll be gearing up for my next internship so I'll have tons of time to focus on projects like L19 again.

Definitely high on my priority list; I wanna see it done as much as anyone

OK, thanks.

Maybe we should just let GD redirect here for now? There's still people continuing to post over there, and new accounts there too. I'm worried that there will be a fracturing of communities.

It looks like the "GODISCUSSIONS.COM" domain is still registered to Don. I don't think anyone took him up on the offer to take over the domain name itself.

I was hoping that he would take up the deal on GD just redirecting to this site.
But Life in 19x19 still sounds cool too though...

There is a lot of information that would be lost if gd were to redirect here without a working gd archive on this site. I go there from time to time to look things up.

I've been mostly away for a while, and I missed the meltdown. I agree with cthomas --

It's a good domain, and it has a long history, many people who are (blissfully) unaware of the drama of the last month will go there as a matter of course.

What a happy ending!

"Life in 19 x 19" is cool in its way, but it's way easier to tell a Go neophyte "Go discussions dot com" and be pretty sure it'll stick in their memory.

Heads up guys, I'm closing GoDiscussions down today and will be providing Adrian with a copy of the database that I just created.

Thanks again for being willing to hand over the reigns, as well as a copy of the db. That is an awesome gesture. And just saw from the site you are including the product review db. Awesome.

Thanks for it all, Don. We appreciate what you did, and what you've done.

Thank you, Don, for hosting through the years and passing the torch so gracefully.

I've received the latest database dump from Don and backed it up

Thanks!

So how do readers here access this archive?

Can you at least make gd.com point to this website until you've finished importing the archive?
