That would be a novel idea, but unfortunately we never owned sf.com, so we have no control over the site. If we could buy out the old domain name, we would simply point it to the new site, but the current owner evidently does not want to part with it.DrCloud said:It seems like you folks could go to wherever SF.com was registered and change the control of that domain name to your new computer site (or ISP or whatever), and then alias SF.com to SF.org. Then people who come looking for the old name will find the new name. (Of course, they'll still need an expanation of where the knowledge base went.)
It seems that subaruforester.com now resolves to subaruforester.org. Did Roo get the .com domain? Should we expect to see the old site back sometime soon?pleiad7 said:That would be a novel idea, but unfortunately we never owned sf.com, so we have no control over the site.
