New Hosting, New Domain and New Direction

First of all, sorry for the DNS/NS screw up it's been fixed now thanks to TDR head butting me time after time. Secondly, take a good look at this place because it's going to get changed in the coming days. The whole infrastructure is going to go throw a complete overhaul. We're basically going to clean up some trash, dump some sections and make this website/forum more user friendly and a place where you can just be someone. Rules will be strict, users who contribute would benefit more than ever and you will actually have a real chance of doing something on the Internet.

The new Totseans was selected by me for my Internet project but since I barely had time and we were facing issues with Totse.info and hosting, I thought it best to merge them together and combine different elements, for starters, we're not longer a clone or offshoot of Totse.com. Most of what you will see here is going to be unique and something that Totse.com didn't bother with in the first place. Secondly, we're still a community, a community that doesn't rely on forums but a community which is independent of the platform.

You will see more social integration options, you will see work oriented threads and you will see less of idiots. The whole moderator workflow is going to get revised and on top of that, the sections will get dumped and rehashed if needed. Anything illegal is off limits for now on. This basically includes, torrents, file sharing and porn. This does not mean we we're going to banhammer the fuck out of everyone, if that was the case I might get banned first. No, we're just going to move them away. In order to keep surviving on the Internet, we're forced to follow certain rules, especially if you intend to get something out of it, so for the sake of the community, we're just going to follow simple laws.

Plus, it's not like you can't torrent things or find something on the Internet. We will however if possible educate others on finding those ahem things if required, so don't be alarmed. Forget the old totse.info and totse.com or any other Totse offshoot, if you came here to just follow the same old traditions of bitch & moan and shit here and there, then I highly advise to try some place else, however, if you really want to LEARN, SHARE and mostly do something, come here and we will guide you or help you out.

The future of the Internet isn't going to be pleasant, when you're just a little website no one gives a flying fuck about you, that's the only reason no one bothered majority of the Websites, but if you're one of the big players... then you need to watch your back. I don't intend to make this place a little tiny hub, nope I want it to be much bigger. I have seen websites with little or no content get tons of traffic with little professionalism and hard work. I am sure with the help of everyone, we can do much better.

In the coming days, the themes, the layout, the logo, the name and structure and rules are going to be ironed out.

Thanks to Hellish for being supportive and Vineman for the hosting and TDR for being TDR I guess.

    A lot of butthurted trash talk going on at zok and t2 about the outage.

    So we lost a couple of days of posts? Are you logging IPs now?

    IPs have been being logged for months it is the only defense against ban evasion.

    Unless they use Tor...

    It's all good. As much as I love troll lulz, I can get those anywhere. Looking forward to some intelligent conversation here. If I find a few mins away from the wife and kids I will contribute some decent info...

    TOR only hides a troll so long as they behave.

    Welcome back Chupalo. I'm sure as more members realise that they can have a serious conversation or debate without abuse, trolling and the general childishness that Totse became riddled with, the more they will post. I notice Totse2 are managing to piss off several posters with it all. I look forward to your posting. Pop into team speak some time and get to know us. You will gain more from the experience.

    In all honesty, what was so wrong with the totse.info domain? I liked the ring of ".info", seeing as the idea behind the site is the free spread of information. If we were to move away from the totse name, why not just think of something totally new? But that's just my two cents. I'm sure this was thoroughly planned and thought out ahead of time.

    I am looking forward to the future of this place and what Dfg and others have planned for us, what ever that may be.

    We could sign up under any new name but I had Totseans registered and it would be a waste to let it go, plus we were a bit pressed for time :). Besides, it's a CLEAN domain :D

    Plenty of gay jokes and naked pictures of me.
