New White Wolf website gives a boon and a bane to VTES

Jozxyqk

White Wolf has redone their website.
Which leaves us with Good News and Bad News for VTES.

The Good News: From the front page, under the dropdown menu for "Old World
of Darkness", there is a VtES link that forwards to www.vekn.net

The Bad News:
The link "http://www.white-wolf.com/v... is completely 404'd. Not even
a mention that it ever existed.

Considering all of the places where the "old" URL is out there for
advertising and support, how can we get http://www.white-wolf...
to also be turned into a redirect to vekn.net? It seems like the right
thing to do.

Steps in the right direction have already been taken. Thanks for the
heads-up, though. :)

To all the players out there:
Join the cause, join VEKN.NET.

Allegedly, that URL has become a redirect for some people, but not for me.
I suspect that white-wolf.com is hosted differently in Europe and the US, and
they don't actively synchronize the websites or something.

Can someone else in the USA go to the URL:
http://www.white-wol...

And tell me if it redirects to vekn.net (like it does for Amenophobis),
or if it still shows the ugly 404 Error (like it does for me).

If it's still a 404 for anyone else but me, can we get that fixed?

Still 404'ed for me. Not that I'm, y'know, a far-away test case from
you, but that shouldn't matter, should it?

Any data points are good data points.

White Wolf has a dedicated forum in which they address this type of
concern.

I was redirected appropriately, using T-Mobile to reach WW servers.
