I think that MPxhelp.org is pretty good, but prefer MyMPx.org for the following reason: for people it's easy to asocciate mympxplayer.org -> mympx.org, and the change will be natural, smooth and easy to remmember too.

While MPxhelp.org would be nice, people could get a bit confused with the name change :P ...



admin, you plan to leave the current forum read-only, right?

Yes, I plan to keep the current forum as it is but read only.
If all goes well, I will be able to import everything from this forum into the new vBulletin forum (fingers cross).

This should also include user accounts as well.

I've noticed that 7 votes are for "None of the Above".

If you chose this option, can you tell me why or what you think would be a good domain name for the new site?

heh. MyMPx.org is probably the best if you aim to make it shorter. However the player part would be handy too.
I've been here a few years ago looking for a firmware for my Motorola MPx200 phone and i remember i was confused by the lack of any phone information.
I agree that the domain name would be easier to remember due to shrinking it tho.

:cry: It is an original recognized name already. Why the domain name change?

admin 22nd Apr 2009 12:10 am

Hi willpluck2,

The main reason why the domain name change is two fold. Firstly, we needed to upgrade the site as the existing content management system that runs MyMPxPlayer.org is old and has been hacked a few times already. Secondly, as this site has a lot of indexed pages and customised URL's, if we kept the same name but switch systems, we won't maintain the URLs so valuable information already indexed by search engines will be broken.

So, if I went for a different domain name instead (but keep the existing MyMpxPlayer.org but make it read only), that will give me the best of both worlds. All the URL's indexed will still existing and the new domain name with the new content management system will live on a new server with new URL's.

when will the new site be ready? and what domain did you chose?

---EDIT---

just went to http://www.mympx.org looks like its ready! love the new design btw. im a senior member apparently! also why is my rank one lower than it is on here?

admin 27th Apr 2009 12:34 am

Hey geostar,

It's still in beta as I'm still getting some redesign done as well has making more changes.

I haven't officially told anyone about http://mympx.org yet as it's still not complete.

Don't post anything there though as there is a good chance that it will get deleted during the import from MyMPxPlayer.org to the new site.

Also, there are still some configuration changes to do, such as ranks and memberships....
