Title: Domains we do not accept
Post by: Alex on October 12, 2011, 04:29:48 pm: (https://www.support.smfnew.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smfnew2.com%2Fgallery%2Fsmfnewadmin%2F1-270215171547-1310.png&hash=b135e4fa880e79cddcb200a188639887a18ca5fb)

Hi all,

We are no longer accepting domains from the following extensions;

co.cc

We will keep this updated as further bans on free domains may take place.

This is due to Google removing the ability for these domains to return search results.

Thanks,

Alex

I'm not sure what you mean, could you clarify?

(I don't want to give the domain away to his website in case something went wrong, or it was mistaken for some form of advertisement.

Your friend, of course, would need to put the proper DNS information when registering it, and you would need to change your forum's domain through the control panel, located here: http://www.smfnew.com/manage

What he was going to do was copy down the functions of our forums and transfer them over to his website with a different domain so we could have a place to store files and all for our server. (Wait is moving it all over illegal...?)

What he is doing is copying down our forum piece by piece (Or will at least). Just warning you this guy in his freshman year of highschool hacked into every computer and had it start playing pornograpy as a joke.

We're confident that our system security is secure enough to block any kind of junk. (Which, by the way, I hope he knows that cracking websites/computers is illegal, and if we wanted to, we could pursue legal action against him if he causes any damage to our servers/forums)
