Separation of Rightings and Arcade

Jun 28, 2006 @ 08:34

Just as Yugoslavia has split up, all good things must come to an end. Andkon's Daily Rightings, this very brilliance you are reading now (including the archived Stuf Archives, the Info section, and the xtra repository), will be split off from the andkon.com domain soon. Andkon.com will be solely used by the Andkon Arcade, ensuring that generations of men will hold "andkon" to be be synonymous with small, mindless games and not any of the more intellectual pursuits such as writing.

I've been trying to apply to three or four top ad networks and for months, I've been getting form letters back praising me for my "work and success in creating Andkon.com" but that they're "unfortunately unable to accept it into our publisher network at this time." Considering that the Andkon Arcade is rather user-friendly and has a good collection of games, I was baffled as to why I kept getting turned down. A day or so ago, I wrote back and asked why, hoping that someone will respond back. They said this blog was essentially too controversial for their network. Of course, let's ignore that I split the blog off the frontpage a few months back specifically for this purpose and that I don't intend to ever puts ads here. Oh well.

So time comes to split off the pauper's fun zone from the fun zone that actually makes money. Nothing earth-shattering will happen, except andkon.com/rightings will be redirected to courageunfettered.com, a domain I registered a few months back in recognition of my bravery and valor in times of trouble. Stuf, Info, xtra will be folders under that domain. The frontpage of andkon.com will redirect to andkon.com/arcade.

As I'm working on plenty of projects, I'm not sure when this slight adventure will be done, but perhaps before August.

That doesn't suck THAT bad, but I still like the layout you ave now. Being able to choose between the arcade and rightings, then switching without changing websites is cool. That's just how lazy I am.

Yeah, I liked it too. It's easier to have one single site to upload stuff to than to have to login to two different sites, but apparently ad networks are unable to figure out that just because two sites are hosted on the same domain that it doesn't mean it's the same site, despite the fact that they have completely different layouts and content.

Although I might set up an Andkon Collective or whatever site, so the current frontpage with the links to arcade, blog, (and whatever new sites might come in the future, like the now dead 24/7 Caption Contest) might remain.

Well this will give you an opportunity to make a new layout and rename the rightings "courage unfettered". :D

Anyway, there should definitely be a link on the Arcade to the Rightings. THE RIGHTINGS RIZOCK!

At first, I was very heartbroken at the prospect of losing the rightings, but then I refrained from crying out in anguish before I finished reading. It is at this point, I read on and realized that this is merely a slight setback due to the nefarious stupidity of ad agencies. Anyway, I agree with the Reverand, the Rightings RIZOCK! I don't know the meaning of Rizock, but I suppose that it is not a negative comment.

WHOA! I can't play any games off of the arcade, it says you relocated it and the addresses changed. But when I click the link, and try to play a game, it goes to the same page again. Help.

They work for me.

They work for me too. What's the exact problem?

And no, the daily rightings won't be renamed and the layout won't change. There will be a frontpage that will link to the different parts... it'll be a parody off Chomsky's site... I would have already set up that, but my host is acting retarded. You apparently can't host more than one domain without either paying money or setting up some quasi-elaborate thing for free... It'll be sweet looking.

Ok, I click a game to play it. and it takes me to this page

http://www.andkon.com/arcade/puzzle/darkroom/

Dammit I wish you could hyperlink here. Anyway, it takes me there, then I click on the arcade link, and it takes me to the arcade, like I just went to the place it relocated the arcade to. Then I click on a game, and it takes me to the exact same grey page.

red meat on Jul 03, 2006 @ 20:41 wrote

Ok, guess it hyperlinks for you, nifty.

red meat on Jul 03, 2006 @ 20:44 wrote

In addition to the last problem, it's only doing it for that dark room game, the new one you put up. Every other game is fine.

Thanks redmeat, it's working now. I'm not sure why I didn't upload it...
