Yes, and the forums have it too. I will only change these gradually, with no hurry whatsoever. Name it a transition period, a half-hearted experiment or a glitch, if you need to.

I hate to nitpick, but the forum is still teeming with references to "Nesvideos." Can that be changed as well to reflect the new domain? Or is it more difficult than I think it is?

No, there's no technical problem. I will only change these gradually, with no hurry whatsoever. Name it a transition period, a half-hearted experiment or a glitch, if you need to.

Never been using those, but it was a rare opportunity to copypaste an answer from another thread to the same question. And I agree with Truncate

I was trying to figure out what you mean, and I see it now. Header tag and the forum index. ^^;;

Yeah, we just have to remove the redirection to tasvideos.org and go back to the old URL.

Well, you have changed the site to TASvides, but, you missed something. At the top of the page in these forums, it still says Nesvideos. Shouldn't that be changed to Tasvideos?

Some people don't like to see inconsistency. Neither do I like to see inconsistency. However, it is Bisqwit's decision to change it (or not). It has been like that for at least three months. Here are the last couple things Bisqwit said about the situation: http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=75279#75279 http://tasvideos.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=74838#74838

Half-hearted experiment is right.

Well I'd like to say that while it of course is entirely Bisqwit's choice, I do not understand it, nor do I understand his reasons. Is the site called TASVideos or NESVideos? The "transition period" seems to go on and on too and the gradual changes are nowhere to be seen.

There seems to be something else (unless I'm mistaken and that's what this is all about): The two first links here in the forums both point to bisqwit.iki.fi/nesvideos/. The two links I'm talking about are these two: This is the discussion board of the tool-assisted console game movie site TASVideos (formerly Nesvideos). Welcome. Please do not fill the forums with movie requests. Enjoy your stay. If you have a question, please read the FAQ first to see if your question has already been answered. They're not THAT important, but I think it's something pretty easy to fix.

I'll leave them as-is, because I intend to keep those links functional anyway.

By the way, one of the reasons I'm lax to change all "nesvideos" references to "tasvideos" is that I wish to preserve some search engine visibility for the term "nesvideos".

Isn't it possible to have the "nesvideos" text hidden from the viewer but still in the site's source code so that only the search engines see it? I'll refine my question: Does the search engine search through the code of the web page, or is the code compiled and then the site is searched?

Search engines attempt to perceive the HTML the same way as the human does, i.e. recognize things that are relevant (headings, titles) and things that are just decoration&garbage. Things that don't get rendered anywhere bear very little influence to search engine optimization.

Does this take into account stylesheets? Could you put the old NESVideos name in a seperate tag and define it in your CSS file as "display: none"?

Yes, but that would be bad design ― such hacks are completely in opposition to what the HTML for structure, CSS for layout separation tries to accomplish.

But it would get the job done. I think you should use that bad-design hack (unless you plan on entering a web design competition), at least until you find a better method of doing it. [Edit by Bisqwit: offtopic part removed]

I already have a "better method of doing it", and I am doing it. The rest of your post had nothing to do with this thread (talked about Nintendo DS and a pocket), so I removed it.
