Our Own URL

[Prepare2Lose]

We are working toward getting our own URL for example:
(www.TheImmortalBros.com)
So far we haven't made any steps toward it, and we probably wont make any big steps untill my upcoming (when i say "upcoming" i mean like awhile...) HUGE RPG is released, which will have Many things that you can save like in the Halo 2 Series. I used Halo 2 to introduce that system to people with XP... in the RPG i will have things like saving hero levels and items and gold etc.

Well, some of you have probably seen the Donations page on the website... now im not asking you to buy XP so we can have money to get the URL! ... We are more like asking for you to mention it in the Halo 2 games you play .... like if ur playing beaver creek just kinda say
"You know you can buy XP at www.freewebs.com/theimmortalbros/donations.htm"

We know that "buying XP" probably isnt too popular.. but if the word gets around enough, you know that there is gunna be some rich kid who could care less to spend 5 bucks or someone that Loves the game but just isnt good at it......

Thanks for the help!

Your gonna work on an RPG? sweet! Sounds killer, gonna be playin that for days after it comes out ;D. And on the topic of donations I always say this in a game If I remember so hopefully you will get some soon

[Prepare2Lose]

I think I may have gotten someone to look into them the other day... I was really persuasive (loaded 500 XP and made a BIG deal of it) haha

On the RPG topic, I made a whole new board under Prepare-2-Lose related to it if you would like to talk about that.

hmmmm u can get free domains .com .net and .info i think

[Prepare2Lose]

What do you mean? O, and remember this is made through proboards85.com

[noobpredator]

how are we doing on this prep? R u going to use any of you're own money or just donnation money if we get some.

[Prepare2Lose]

Once we start it ($5 a month I believe) I wouldn't cancel it.
So if we don't get donations during a month and dont have enough to keep it up I would spend my own $5 for that month. You know what I mean?
I would record all happenings with The Immortal Bros money also. So it would be recorded that it was my money, not donations money that month.

[noobpredator]

k u got a job now so you can probably manage. You get a paycheck yet?

[Prepare2Lose]

Yup $40 for orientation
;D ;D ;D

[noobpredator]

lol

Ok, I am REALLY looking into this now, cause Google Adsense may not be allowed on website with ads already from google... (proboards)

Sadly, it is looking like it will cost $7 a month + domain costs, cause we have to pay the 7 a month to get rid of their ads, then the domain costs to get the domain....
Im not sure what to do cause google doesn't bring in enough income to be worth that.....

Ok after quite a bit of research, it looks like google is saying its fine ;D ;D
But we will still look into this.. the price probably wont change from the above one, which basically mean we won't be able to get it till my RPG is released (if that ever happens..)

I had this IDEA that I think might work!

Instead of paying extra to upgrade the website or the forum to be theimmortalbros.com why don't we just make a VERY basic site with links to the forums and website.

For example, if they type in "theimmortalbros.com" then it will bring them to a webpage that has similar colors and things to this one, and then at the top it will say "The Immortal Bros". Then in the middle there would be two things, The Forums and The Website. Those will both be links to obviously the forums and website. Underneath them both there will probably be a small description like under the website it might say, Go here for news, information about The Immortal Bros, and much more!

Whenever I advertise the forums the complaint seems to ALWAYS be that the URL is TOO long. But when you think about it, theimmortalbros.proboard85.com and theimmortalbros.com aren't THAT much different in length. So I was also thinking instead of making it "theimmortalbros.com", mabey it should just be "ib.com" or something REALLY basic like that? Gimee ur opinion!

I know someone who knows a little bit about making websites and he could easily set that up. Also, he can get the URL pretty cheap

**Edit**
theimmortalbros.com = not taken
immortalbros.com = not taken
ib.com = taken
tib.com = not taken
immortal.com = taken

Thats all I could think of to test... i think the second looks the best I suppose.....

[Magma]

I like the immortalbros.com one, tib.com just sounds weird but overall its a good idea to save money, just have alot of urls though.

[Prepare2Lose]

Give us some Second opinons here! So far we are thinking about immortalbros.com Is that easy to remember and type in? like if I told you that in Warcraft would you be able to minimize warcraft and type it in without having to check back?... obviously its an improvement from theimmortalbros.proboards85.com lol

ib.net is taken also
immortalbros.net isnt either, but i think .com sounds a little better.

I have a rough draft of the Page that the website will consist of.. It is currently on paper, I am planning on re-do'ing it with Paint and then posting it here to get some opinions on it... I think having this new URL will make it a lot easier for people to access the forums and website
I expect to post the rough draft in less than a week.

[Prepare2Lose]

Ok, I made a VERY Rough draft of what the page on the website would be.
OBVIOUSLY it will have Way more color.. it is actually a bad sketch of our symbol, but it won't have IB The Immortal Bros in the middle.
Blue = Link to something
BE HONEST! I obviously threw this together and I need honesty!
