I mentioned just before we moved to this new host that with the new service we would get the ability to have 5 sub-domains as a part of our hosting service. With only 5 to choose from I could not include all the groups so I based the ones I did pick on the contributions they made to the forums and their longevity here at SWFans.Net Forums.

The five new URLs that will lead straight to a group forum here are as follows:

http://gjo.sw-fans.net
http://tbh.sw-fans.net
http://tso.sw-fans.net
http://sff.sw-fans.net
http://tge.sw-fans.net

I intend to look into some of the third party subdomain provisionary services and see if I can get some more free ones working for the other groups too. :)

The way subdomains work would not allow me to link them directly to the forums because of the php bits in the subforum URLs, (Ampersands, equal signs, and question marks) so these subdomains actually link to small and fast html redirect files that push your browser to the correct URL. It was the best I could do to make them work.

Its not such a simple thing to change. What's done is done. I will look into being able to set up more subdomains.

After doing some mod work for our host on their forums, their CEO has decided to give us some additional features free with our hosting package. I have requested more subdomains and will soon be able to make some for the Cizerack, Hutts and Shrine. If you would like to specify what I should use, please let me know. Currently I am thinking along the lines of.

http://ciz.sw-fans.net/
http://hutts.sw-fans.net
http://shrine.sw-fans.net

I should also be able to add http://cis.sw-fans.net depending on how many subdomains they give us.
