buy zdoom.com

Post by Penguinator »

I think zdoom's homepage(zdoom.org) needs to change to zdoom.com.
Half the time I come there,I automatically just put zdoom.com in instead.
The happy child and teddy bears on it's homepage burns my eyes. :shock:

So you suggest Randy pays a lot more for the domain a month just so you don't get confused?

Idea: Just type in "zdoom" and you'll be taken to zdoom.org. That way you save your fingers the burden of typing 4 extra keys, and your mind the .001 second burden of deciding org or com.

I use my favorites menu at home. At work, provided I've visited the site before, I type http://z and pick zdoom.org from the drop down menu. I have never seen the happy child of which you speak. ;)

Anyway, those of us who are not "damn lazy Americans" are used to non .com addresses anyway. ;)

I also just use a bookmark. Have never had this problem despite being a damn lazy American.

I have a home page which is just a list of links I visit often. I don't ever type zdoom.org in, because I usualy go straight to the forums anyway.

Since this topic has been brought to, I think it is safe to ask: Does anyone know why many people SAID BEFORE to get ZDoom and info on it at ZDoom.notgod.com. When I go there, it doesn't exist. What was ZDoom.notgod.com?

That was the home of ZDoom back in the day, when I discovered it during the 1.x versions.

Notgod was the old website.

I always type out the full address of any site, including the http:// part. :)

I don't think the site address needs to be changed.

After all, you can...
1) Get used to the format.
2) You can automatically go to the zdoom forum by pressing 'f' in the address bar, and click on the link, if you didn't delete your cookies. Keyboard (shortcut): Alt + D, F, then press the ↓button.
3) Put on favorites either Zdoom main page or forum. Keyboard (shortcut): Alt + A, first letter that you named the favorites as.
4) Put it on your home page. Keyboard shortcut: Alt + Home.

What, you can't remember .org instead of .com? Seriously, this has to be about the only site I visit regularly with .org at the end and I've kept that in mind from day one. But it's really as simple as this either way:

plain and simple.



Heh, I don't even visit the main page here. That bookmark leads straight to the forums index, in fact. I do the same with most sites actually...

The notgod phorums were the best days in ZDoom history. :)
