Remove or edit github pages about 7guis HOT 4 OPEN

IIRC we discussed something along these lines with @mirohs and I am not sure if everything listed is technically possible due to missing permissions.

Any insight @mirohs ?

If permissions are the issue, then we shall contact ICANN and request transfer of ownership/permissions (or alternatively wait for the domain to expire).

I'm quite sure that ICANN is not involved here. We are talking about a simple subdomain, that is managed by github.io, aren't we?

When thinking about my suggestions above, the most simple and propper solution would be:

• add a (permanent) redirection from each page from the old GH page to the new GH page

This could be done within a single .htaccess file. Therefore the GitHub page for the old GH repository has to be re-generated.

For doing this, we must have access to the old GH repository or Eugen Kiss must merge a pull request and re-generate GitHub pages afterwards.

The advantage of this solution is, that Google & Co. are updating their indexes automatically and search results will point to the new GitHub page of the new GH repository.

Legend:

• old GH repository: https://github.com/eugenkiss/7guis
• old GH page: https://eugenkiss.github.io/7guis/
• new GH repository: https://github.com/7guis/7guis
• new GH page: https://7guis.github.io/7guis/

Oh, I should not be writing anything when sick in my bed. Of course ICANN has nothing to do with subdomains nor with github.com . I remembered (wrongly) that there was some personal domain (not subdomain) from Eugen and reacted to that instead of carefully reading your text.

I will rest a bit and once I feel a bit better I will try to reply with more cautiousness 😉.

Thanks for all your work on this and your vigilance!

No problem and get well soon!
