Trem.net on game loading screen

[Heli]

 
I noticed on the game loading screen it tells users to go to trem.net for more information.  Problem is, trem.net is not tremulous.net and will take you to some octopus page in Italy.  This isn't an issue for the majority of users (people understand what trem.net means) but for new players, this could be confusing and could lead them to the wrong site.  I've had one comment on this from a new player a while back (not everyone downloads tremulous from tremulous.net) and I noticed today it still isn't changed.

Could we change the welcome message on the official servers to tell them to come to tremulous.net - or better yet, tremulous.net/forum so we can get all the new players participating in the conversation?

Just an idea!

IS THIS TREMULOUS?

TREM is the Italian company which is a European and world leader in the production and marketing of accessories for sailing, camping and leisure. The company has a complex, well-organised structure which developed over more than thirty years, during which it successfully made the transition from a craft producer of elastic ropes to its current level of entrepreneurial excellence, involved in the main markets world-wide.

Oh.

Yeah, what Heli said.

What has an octopus got to do with sailing, camping, and leisure?

[Dracone]

Octopodes are incredibly threatening to campers. Most campers are unaware that they are being stalked by an octopus until it is too late. Some have even reported that swarms of octopodes have raided campsites and eaten the women and children.

Excellent, let's get some in Tremulous.

I stand corrected - apparently trem.net is the new upcoming Tremulous 1.2 official website.  Octopuses (tentacle grangers) are coming out as part of the new underwater maps coming soon where humans have scuba-diving equipment and underwater submersibles and aliens have a tentacle grangers and other aquatic creatures.  Can't wait til 1.2!

Haha, okay. Space is pretty limited in an MOTD and I figured everyone would know what I meant but I certainly understand that very new players would not. I'll see what I can do.
