Tom,
I'm behind you no matter the choice. I trust your judgment.
Combining the two to save money is a great idea. Epic40k.com is all but dead
anyhow with the forum traffic having moved. the content is still great, but
mopving it (having paid proper respect to Tuffskull) sounds like a great
idea.
Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Subject: [NetEpic ML] [UPDATE] Changes to Epic40k.com and NetEPIC.org
Basically Epic40k.com is now pointing to our webserver, so it is under one
financial package and thus is cheaper to maintain, reducing costs by about
�100 a year. What will happen here is that there will be a main page which
will go up tonight and will be accessable from www.netepic.org or
www.epic40k.com will have two logos on it, allowing visitors to go to either
site directly. They can then bookmark there favourite sites direct URL or
continue to go through the main menu. Both sites will remain the same, there
will be no change, the sites are NOT merging into one big site, they are
just sitting on the same server.
Both sites will be remaining unique, but some parts could do with closer
integration. For example the EZine contains articles which are relevant to
both systems, and the news page is also relevant for both systems.
So I thinking perhaps set the EZine up as a seperate subdomain on it's
own? Then we have purely Epic40k and NetEPIC articles on there own sites and
then the more generic (eg, modelling, painting, reviews, etc) get migrated
to the EZines domain. The news page is already integrated into the NetEPIC
front page, and I will add the code to the Epic40k.com front page as well,
so both sites are kept up to date with the latest EPIC news.
I could do with a vote on this guys... what is your opinions?
I will place a poll on the Epic and NetEPIC mailing lists and then merge
the results to see what people think.
