New domain name

Post by Mr. Teatime »

<strong>[Community -> Update]</strong>

Duck And Cover needed a new domain name, since <b>Killzig</b> is the current owner of thevats.net. <b>Killzig</b>? Who's that?
<br>
<br>And so the DAC staff discussed possible alternatives. After much thought, <b>Jimmyjay86</b> came up with a suitable domain name that we all felt represented the heart and soul of the <b>Fallout</b> community, especially since <b>DarkUnderlord</b> would be paying for it. A name that, when people looked at what they were typing into their address bar, would give them a warm glow in their heart, a feeling of love and happiness that only a sadly departed friend, or perhaps a childhood memory, sharing a picnic by the river, or thoughts of a long lost pet, could inspire. A name that, dare I say it, would make even the coldest soul radiate love for their fellow man, and make the cruelest amongst us want to hug the nearest <b>Elderscrolls</b> fanboy and say, 'There, there. One day you'll understand why we laugh at you. It's OK. It's all going to be OK.' The new Duck And Cover domain name could only be...
<br>
<br><a href="http://www.duckandcover.cx">www.duckandcover.cx</a>
<br>
<br>This is a proud moment for the whole <b>Fallout</b> community. Be sure to update your bookmarks, and think of times past.

By agreement with the United Kingdom, sovereignty of Christmas Island was transferred to the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 October 1958 under the Christmas Island Act 1958.

The Christmas Islands are a territory of Australia and are administered by the Australian Department of Transport and Regional Services. The legal system is under the authority of the governor general of Australia and Australian law. An administrator (currently Evan Williams, since 1 November 2003) appointed by the Governor-General of Australia represents the monarch and Australia.

The flag of Australia is the official flag of the territory. In early 1986, the Christmas Island Assembly held a design competition for an island flag; however, the winning design has never been formally adopted as the official flag of the territory.

... and as a citizen of Australia, I hereby lay claim to the http://duckandcover.cx | http://www.duckandcover.cx domain name and promise to abide by Australian Law with regards to its usage.

So no porn without one of those warning pages!

So the new management gets to come in here and look at all the porn they want and us old regular folk can't see it?

Right here and now I'm throwing in another bid for a ressuruction of The Wasteland, that can have it's own nice little warning and all the crap that shouldn't be in GD can live there again.

Please. I'll put it in the suggestion box too if so needed. D:

Just to update everyone: You can now access the forums with their proper URL: http://www.duckandcover.cx/forums/

We'll be going through the site to update links etc... to point to the correct domain name sometime within the next few days (IE: It'll be me, this weekend, once I've finished Doom 3...).
