I think the domain should be changed to LSPDFR.com for the main site, and LCPDFR.com can have it's own website, because now it's not about LCPDFR anymore. It's all about LSPDFR.

 

Do you guys think this could happen?

I'm not sure this can happen. To say it'd be "inconvenient" to have two separate fora is an understatement, and I'm not sure how licensing costs would change then. We could redirect both domains to the same thing, but splitting forums is something without a whole lot of advantages. If it changes, it'd be more likely to just move wholesale to a new domain with a redirect added. Regardless, I don't see the point in changing it.

I don't see this happening. Frankly, we want to grow the community, not splitting them off in two directions.

It may come that we decide to use LSPDFR.com as the main domain sometime in the future, although this is something that we haven't really discussed much internally. There are advantages and disadvantages to this, so we'd probably just keep it as it is.

No fine as is

TBH I'd use G17media instead, you can redirect both other domains to the right categories.

You could do this, although, what people should realize, is that LCPDFR isn't just a title used for the Grand Theft Auto 4 series, but over time it's developed as a brand. While the Software names may be different (LCPDFR and LSPDFR), everyone knows where to come and get either modifications, especially if you're not an active member of the LCPDFR Community.

While, if it were me, I'd do as you said, use the G17Media domain and then direct LCPDFR and LSPDFR to it's respective sections, I can see the disadvantages of doing as such, as G17Media also provides other services not listed on the LCPDFR website from what I can see if you go to g17media.com

All in all though back to the original suggestion momentarily - Splitting the websites would indeed split the community in half, or just have a completely dead website on one end, and an active website on the other, both options would prove to be detrimental to the community in the long run. Page Views are extremely when it comes to search engines, therefore separating the website would in turn separate the page views, providing a lower number, which could prove to impact the website in a negative way on search engines.

Remember, when looking for this community, people search "LCPDFR" primarily (number wise), and now "LSPDFR", i'd recommend that they go to the same place for both, rather than two different places.
