yeah, somehow it should be redirected or made in such a way that you can only get to the old forum via the new.

i know nothing about asp, but i'm sure if redirection is used theres a simply way of doing it without using cjb.net . for example, in php its just...

header('Location: http://www.a1vbcode.com/vbforums');
?>

[EDIT]
hmm... seems the opening php tag is removed when the message gets posted. is this a bug or just a security thing?

maybe URL redirrection. this will redirect all trafic from the old forum to the new forum.

go to www.cjb.net for URL redirection, the only problem would be though is that anyone being redirected will have .cjb.net at the end not .com

True, but there's still a vast amount of content on the other forums that is not on the new ones. If a search is made for anything not on the new forums, only the old one will come up, so the searcher would be directed only to the old forum. There probably is a way to disable new threads or something.

google prefers pages that are updated regularly, now the old forums are recieving less posts than these, google should keep these on top.

just wondering though, would it be possible to lock the old forums, so no new threads can be made, but replies can? that should help a bit.

I see what I did. I went to vbforums2, not forums2. My point still stands though: as long as there are links to the old forum, and the more there are, the more easily Google will index it and people will find it directly.

Hi,

The main url to the old forum now points to the new forum. The old forum was moved to a new folder/url. So yes, any old links to the old forum will bring up a 404 page.

As long as there a link from this forum to the old forum, Google can index it. People will start linking to the old one as well. Thus search results will turn up info on the other forum and people will go there without knowing about this one.
