Bernie's Site Rebuild & Getting Around Firewalls

When our wonderful game is moved to the Start O Matic site new links will have to be created to view it.

We have already discussed here on the message boards words to avoid in the link that will activate firewalls when our members are at work.

Another suggestion from the league I am now would also be a great help and is something used by other sports and fantasy sites.

They provide their users multiple links to get to the game pages as some firewalls block words that others dont and vise versa.

Also these sites will create additional links to get to the games pages after the first ones are created. They will do this after getting feedback from thier customers that are having trouble getting past firewalls.

Thanks in advanced as more access to the site will create more managers and more involvement.

Technically, he doesn't have to create "new" links, all he needs to do it change the first part.

For example:
http://fantasygames.sportingnews.com/stratomatic/your_teams.html

could simply become:

http://fantasygames.stratomatic.com/stratomatic/your_teams.html

I'm all for whatever is easier on Bernie. That way the move happens sooner rather than later.

Firewalls block on"strings" and also how a site/domain is "categorized", so it is a little bit more complicated I think....I could be wrong though.
