What is with IW?

SecretMaster · 10-06-2002, 06:51 PM

Has something changed, cuz the windows at the bottom used to say Ironworks, not Escape Gaming. Has anyone else noticed this.

T/-/alali · 10-06-2002, 06:55 PM

ziroc is selling the name so ironworks is changing to escape gamming.

andrewas · 10-06-2002, 06:56 PM

Thats because IW is moving to a new URL. Because we sold IW for 45K and Ziroc has to find a new name. I think IW was better, but thats probably because Im used to it.

Anyway, go look for and maybe bump the annoucement thread. There will be a mail sent to all members, but I gaurantee someone will get lost somehow.

Mail hasnt been sent yet, since the address hasnt changed. Board will look the same. No re-registration required.

Ziroc thinks it will be a simple switch and nothing can go wrong. I think any project where someone is that confident is doomed, but them Im cynical. Anyway, this is all covered in the aforesaid announcement thread.

I have done many changes like this in my past, and everything went fine. I *am* confident, and that is why I've been so successful. IMO.

The changeover will be simple.. I'll send an email to each member, and it'll let them know what is up.. simple!! [img]smile.gif[/img]

J/k, ziroc, I trust you absolutely.

Ah,ignore me Z. Im jsut a professional cynic, thats all.

Besides, the last time I heard the phrase "simple as turning on a light" used in relation to a computer project, was just before I discovered that half our code woudnt compile on the university computers. 6 hours 42 minutes before deadline.

Well, I hope everything will work out okay... I just know I'm going to miss the name Ironworks. Escape Gaming sounds so... unfamiliar. Will the site be called EG and not IW then?
