[Answered] Old Steamgamers.com is still indexed in google searches

[Lucid]

Hi all,

 

After taking quite a long break from Steamgamers I decided to come back to the website I once loved and relished and tried to access steamgamers.com instead of the new steam-gamers.net url.

 

Is there anyway to remove the old site since it's no longer being updated or used? It confused me in thinking that the community had died out in 2015 and I honestly thought steam-gamers.net was going to be a different site leading to a different community.

 

It's not so much a necessity but to me as a returning user from 2009 I was a bit confused. More quality of life IMO. Would there be anyway to post an announcement on steamgamers.com saying everything had migrated to steam-gamers.net? I know everyone that's already involved in the community already knows this since they probably check the updates often, but I hadn't checked the updates in years and didn't know what was what.

 

Thanks.

Hey Lucid, long time no see! We made the switch because Steam-Gamers.net is now fully owned by the staff (Caution) instead of someone else (if you remember, it was Amit who then sold the site to Ryan). We had messages on the old forum about the switch but we don't have the ability to just remove the old website. @Caution can clarify further

Mine used to be like that but now the forum is gone and all I can see is a blank chatbox.

Oh okay. I guess if it was possible to go back and edit the main page to say that we transferred, that would help. It still shows up for me though. Are you signed in on the other website? Maybe that is causing it to show up...

Thanks Prez! That's actually good to know it's privately owned now!

This is what I see

 

I can see how that would be a problem

 

If we could add a message to the front page, I feel like that'd help instead of removing the entire site.

The only people from our side that might have access would be Caution or Spiked, but it's doubtful since we moved over a year ago. Not a whole lot we can do for that unfortunately unless they have the access!

[Caution]

We don't have any access, which is exactly why we moved in the first place. Ryan is a douchebag who refused to give us any access to do anything. If someone got locked out of their account, we got hacked, etc., we wouldn't be able to do anything about it. 'Board of Director' was nothing but a red name with the ability to do jack shit on the forums. I got the fuck away from Ryan and now own everything associated with Steam-Gamers.

Yeah we tried to make it obvious about the move but shortly after we left the guy who owns that stuff undid a lot of the work I did in trying to lessen the confusion. Whats funny is that guy believes he can make money off it.
