You can set up a rewrite rule to transpose old to new pretty easily

On GLBs side.

Something like this for apache though glb uses nginx - still similar concept

Their inexperience made this much harder than it had to be overall. They took a situation, over-thought it and came up with a solution that wasn't elegant or even a real solution.

I find my issue with this is messages. To answer or look at a link I often have to log into the second address. Not a big issue, it's saved just do it, but then I have to log into the first one again. Still not a big issue, but if I was a new user, I'd go find a different game.

Except it was the only solution.
The other "solutions" were either having all future games under the goallineblitz domain, which wouldn't make any sense, or just having the goallineblitz domain redirect to the new one, which would have caused riots from breaking every script.

who cares about the scripts? having it redirect is what any internet company would do when they change domain names.

The dozens of people that were upset when there was a temporary DNS lapse that affected a relatively small percentage of users a week before the launch.
I mean, we do plan to eventually phase out the old domain and have it redirect to the new one, as mentioned in the thread.

I think most everyone has suffered broken scripts.....and I think most everyone is rioting......
I just went through a server chase episode trying to corral dots in "Players looking for teams".
I say shut goallineblitz.com down if it is being phased out. Just return a redirection page explaining the situation and provide a corrected link for the user to follow to the corresponding warriorgeneral page, and, a correct set of bookmarks to replace old ones with. We must get everyone moved over ASAP if that's where we're eventually going.
Either do something like this to get us out of this hell, or, I guess we all must edit our scripts somehow to cover all the domains... somehow...
...and then again when the move is completed I suspect....
I fear GLB/WG has grossly underestimated the value of the GM scripts to those of us running these teams. I personally cringe at the thought of trying to run a team without many of them. I've edited my scripts and most AI/team stuff is OK now but scouting and recruiting where I may find older links is trouble.

While not trivial you can also do cross site cookies which would solve the double login situation. I accept it's kinda hacky though which is why the rewrite rule is better.
