I just renewed the SWGFA.com web address and am planning on dropping the OrlandoSystem.com address as of January 28. Does anyone have any arguments to why we
should keep OrlandoSystem? I'm open, but they do the same thing. By the same token, renewal is under $10.

Well Provided as I believe you're saying that SWGFA.com brings me to the boards just the same I have no problems. Strangely orlandosystem is just easier
to type out of habit but that is one easy habit to change (I wish all habits were so)

I was surprised to see that Aaron also signs in that way. Yeah, SWGFA is quite easy to type, so there's not much lost there. The way I set it up you
actually see SWGFA on every page's address. I like this a lot better than the orlandosystem.yuku.com.
There's still time to keep OrlandoSystem. We've got more than a month to consider it, but right now I don't feel like spending the $8. -Campbell Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon. |

If you happen to use Internet Explorer you can do it even easier. Type S-W-G-F-A and hit (Ctrl + Enter). Boom! You're there. ...here.

Less than a week before this thing expires. Then again, I doubt anyone else is going to be buying it anytime soon.
I've considered buying it to link directly to the OS discussion section, but I think the money would be better spent going toward our Gold Status fund to keep the board with all of its functionality. -Campbell Help the SWGFA by buying through Amazon. |

Yeah, I've gotten maybe a dozen GoDaddy e-mails trying to get me to buy OrlandoSystem.com again. I just don't see the point, and no one mentioned that it meant much to them. It's different, but SWGFA.com works just fine.

Just the same. I got it because as I was renewing the SWGFA address the OS.info one cost about $2. I missed us having our own link but to get the old .com address the current owner wants... $5000. It's probably just some automated system to buy up old site names that lapse, but I wouldn't pay 1% of that cost to get the old link back.
