URLs in old and new backpack.tf

[Mickey Mouse]

Some of the URLs in old backpack.tf and new backpack.tf are different. And they don't redirect. Can you set up redirects for these?

 

Also, why is backpack.tf threatening to take the old one down once people aren't providing information on the new one? I could see making backpack.tf load the new site by default, but why remove the old one completely? Especially since many people find it easier to use.

Too much work for one dev to maintain compatibility, already the tags are handled differently and aren't synced between the two sites (dw there will be a final sync once the sites switch, but tags added on the old site after that point probably will never show up on the new one). Differences like that are likely to become more common the more features are added down the road.
