Website suggestion: Division Redirects

[Captain Wes]

Hi All!
Please forgive me if this is in the wrong forum, but I had a suggestion for the website. If possible, I would love to see a set of redirects for the divisions. For instance, if we wanted to point people to the Insurgency division, we could tell them to go to http://www.edgegamers.org/insurgency and so on and so on. It would make referring potential recruits and those in game to their specific division extremely easy. Thanks for the time!

Proof of Concept:

http://www.epoch3.com/tf2

Redirects to: http://edgegamers.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=638

<?php
header("Location: http://www.YourSite.com/");
?>

Put that in the index.php AND NOTHING ELSE, just put it in a folder on the main domain and voila.

Rar'd it up so you just have to unrar and upload (to make it easier on the sysadmins)

I think this is a great idea! I did this on my site for a long time (for a completely different purpose) and the redirects always worked GREAT! The only difference I had was that it was a single index.html file with this as its complete code:

<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=http://www.edgegamers.org/blahblah">
</head>

<body>
</body>
</html>

That's a good idea

Looks good But if you want to redirect on the site you can always implement a hyperlink in your words

I know how to do redirections. I was considering dedicated splash pages for each division instead of a flat redirect, however.
