The partners of EGT, well in their right to do so, have asked EGT to stop developing EGT Worlds. Since the President refuses to let go of EGT Worlds. I quote: "EGT Worlds is the first finished vision of EGT. I am not going to leave it with out giving it a chance to succeed."
EGT Worlds marketing will go in forward drive and we hope to expect major growth in the upcoming months.

EGT might cut its losses with EGT Worlds, EGT told associated press during a partner meeting on Wednesday. The meeting focused on ongoing projects and their relation to the EGT goal and their costs. EGT Worlds just hadn't performed like the President, Justin K Kazmierczak, had first thought. "It's about time we cut our losses and leave this service for a better project."
EGT knew that EGT Worlds, a social network for websites, might not perform as intended for the recent drop in other web portal development. Since early 2000's, when Google was thought to be the only useful web portal and other like sites competing with Google failed.
The President also commented on the costs of EGT Worlds, telling associated press that over 2 grand and 12 hundred dollars had been invested in web hosting alone. These costs may not seem like an alarming number, but for a company that just started in the web service market; major costs like these could kill the new entertainment company.
EGT had not officially committed when the service was to be discontinued, or even if it will be, but you can look forward to an official notice in the next coming months. EGT hopes to learn from their mistakes and keep development on course, for something modern, in the next few months. No comment on the next project, but EGT hinted that they had something up their sleeve.

PHP - Mod Rewrite Quick Lesson
Before reading this blog entry and attempting to perform the same action, make sure that the extension mod_rewrite has been activated on your hosting account or server.
I recently just figured out the Mod Rewrite Plug in. Mod Rewrite always a php apache server to have "user friendly" and "Google Friendly" urls. Instead of a page looking like http://egtworlds.com/turl.php?webid=41 a page could look like this http://egtworlds.com/t/41 much simpler and easy to understand.
In my case I remapped the links to the hosted websites, from being
http://egtworlds.com/mypage.php?type=website&webid=35&webdesc=Poppen.ca - Rock solid web design
To the simple and condensed version:
http://egtworlds.com/website/Poppen.ca - Rock solid web design/35
I'm still having some very small problems, but the jist is the same.
To start go to your root directory, where index.php (or index.html) is for your main site. You should find a file called ".htaccess," if not create it in notepad, and open it in notepad.
Next add the turn - on switch for the rewrite mod,
RewriteEngine on
Next is the Rewrite Base Directory. This is where you want the rewrite mod to start from, in most cases the main directory ("/") in other cases you may just have a huge file-tree that you want to condense like "/people/places/things/after-death/"
IMPORTANT REMEMBER THE BEGINING SLASH, otherwise your rewrite mod will not work.
RewriteBase /
The next step is to start rewriting links, from a freindly link of http://egtworlds.com/website/Poppen.ca - Rock solid web design/35 . Of course its simple:
This is what the mod line looks like, be sure to have each mod on a new line. Including the rewrite base, and turn-on line.
RewriteRule ^website/(.*)/(.*)$ http://egtworlds.com/mypage.php?type=website&webid=$2&webdesc=$1 [L]
BAM! It looks ugly, I know. Take a breather and let me walk with you.
Enjoy, and remember to make the link the new cool user-friendly uri!

- RewriteRule is just the tag.
- ^ tells the mod to start from the base, otherwise you can just list from the root directory, base is quicker for most cases.
- website/ is my directory. You could have anything their, from html or whatever. IE My/lovely/website/
- (.*) Indicates a value of unknown length. The first one is the name of my description.
- / anything just a place holder.
- (.*) Yet another value.
- $ IMPORTANT says I'm finished the next group of text is my next address. This is required.
- http://egtworlds.com/mypage.php?type=website&webid= Text, can be anything
- $2 is the reference to the second (.*) value. Their position based.
- &webdesc= is another block of text
- $1 is the reference to the first (.*) value. Their position based.
Enjoy, and remember to make the link the new cool user-friendly uri!

Here's last months nugget
When we sit down at our computer and ask ourselves, what should we do today? Do we open a game, do we open a browser, do we instant message, do we start a project, or do we wait aimlessly in the wind?
Let the computer become part of your life but don't let it make your life.

Marketing gives my head a headache
Yes ladies and gentlemen, marketing sucks! ;(
Let's just say I thought I had a good idea with the exposure thing... Nop! Its a dude, now I have rethought my marketing strategy for 2 days and I'm still not to certain it will work...
If someone could invent a Marketing "Easy" button, I'd be grateful. Until then I'll be bruising my palms in all this marketing @$#%.

People, please... Don't find my errors.
A few bugs got pass the Beta, and they are fixed.
And for the good news, we just released are first marketing campaign. Or I should say, my first marketing campaign.
As you can tell it looks very simple, but that's the idea.
I want to encourage people to see the web in a new light, with EGT World's. I want to encourage you to see everything your site can be, to open up to the world's on a whole new level, to scream YES, I WILL!
Well you get the picture... The full Marketing campaign can be found here at the exposure web site. I doubt it may be effective because of the lack of intriguing content, but my hope is to get a few good people on board to make EGT World's the best site ever, since My Space!
- Add a site - For god only knows, reasons. The Add A Site page would show the wrong page after you submitted your site. Instead of the page taking you to your site, you ended up in the wrong site. It would confuse and bother all of us. FIXED!
- Capatcha - Yes, God knows you all want to answer the capatcha repeatedly. Thanks to the me, the coder of the capatcha, it would make you repeat the symbols because of the "/" being one of the symbols. PHP in its infinite glory, thought that meant to display the character after it. Instead of DISPLAY BOTH. Fixed with much aggravation.
- Forumz - No one thought of this because every one was using the development version when we were in beta, but the Live Forumz went to the wrong site. Thus you thought you were not logged in and you would have logged in an infinite amount of time. Sorry! Fixed.
And for the good news, we just released are first marketing campaign. Or I should say, my first marketing campaign.As you can tell it looks very simple, but that's the idea.

Could we hire a janitor?
Well if EGT World's private server was an office, it would be in dire need of a janitorial staff. Just look at the loads of junk that can get deposited into a 10 gb hard drive. Yes the EGT World's website is running on a dedicated server box who's primary drive is all of 10 gb.
Please shoot the administrator... Wait don't that's me!
