I just wish all my scripts would work on whatever page or server I log on to play this game.

Not sure how us giving you a grace period when all the scripts should still work instead of just turning them off is underestimating the value : /

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.

that is the point of this thread, imo. just do it, why wait.

The "grace period" is a waste because many scripts did break as soon as links from different domains/sub-domains started appearing. I assume by "turning them off" you mean "break completely" since a web site server has no control over what is done with the info it serves up other than the content itself. GLB/WG underestimated the value of GM scripts by not taking due diligence to ensure their integrity through the change of domains.

There is no way that we can "ensure their integrity", for the same reason that we "have no control over what is done with the info".

If the popular opinion is that we should just go ahead and completely break the scripts that haven't been updated, I can talk to Bort about just going ahead with making the old server redirect to the new.

There's never going to be a really "good" time to do it. The key is in preparing the userbase for what needs to be done, all known implications, schedule, etc.... My point is that there is breakage now. Every time a goallineblitz.com link gets typed/copied/posted the cleanup gets larger. I'm thinking "nip it in the bud", sort of.

It seems as though it was assumed there would be no issues with running multiple domains without much notice to, or feedback from, us users. All the attention was on the GL2 launch.....

I bet the popular opinion would have been to keep GLB1 completely seperate from the Duece .

Have the scripters had enough time yet? It's been almost a month now. Anyone who had scripts has already either manually updated them, or bugged the creators and had them updated. Let's make the switch permanent now.

I've done neither, but my cares have also diminished.

At this point they could shut em both down, money spent... whatever.
