one year passes...

We should get everything prepared so we can move to Andrew's server as soon as it's ready, so this is a U+K task, and is no one reads the lizards list when Greenspun is up we should do it here.

(I think we did decide to get our own one, though I'm sure who's actually registering it or whatever).

www.iwearheadphones.com, hehe.

― Chris, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ilx.org, as it is simple and not so likely to attract the attention of the powers that be.

Or fancyakitten.com

― jel --, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Most of ilx is taken except ilx.org.uk and ilx.me.uk

www.i-wuv-ilx.com

― Nicole, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

or why not even www.nu-ilx.com?

― Nicole, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I am only half serious about the wuv.

A sliding scale of seriousness here, but oh well.

Enough memes, what do you actually want to type in and show up your browser history and be at the top of your screen every day?

In that case, definitely www.momus-do-you-like-hitler.com.

Oh OK OK, how about www.i-l-x.com?

― Tom, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

www.nu-ilx.org (or nu_ilx or nu~ilx or whatever?)

― mark s, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

maybe we should think of something completely new. I mean we're basically starting off with brand new code (hat tip to the mighty G) and it could go anywhere, as it is expandable to make new boards (much like the greenspun code). Of course we need some continuity...

I'd like a .uk address rather than a generic one. UKness adds a touch of class.

― DV, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

what about an... eircom address???

― the pinefox, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

www.bangbusmusic.com

yeah that's just what public television over here seems to think

i like the genericness of the .coms, theres a tidyness about them

― gareth, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, but they look American.

― DV, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Not to like ruin it by commenting, but GO KATIE, above: I suggest www.essential-resource-for-academic-book-publicists.com.

― nabisco, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

.org.uk = yuck. I got my .com cos it was the cheapest, I must admit :)

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

just .org then?

― Alan Trewartha, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Someone suggested ilxor.com, which I rather liked.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

12ftlizzards.com 8125.com ^^ ^ IL E obesecat.com whatarekoalasandcanweeatthem.com

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

hellodave.wannabuysomepegs.net being the SUPREME.

― Sarah, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

http://www.interwebmentalists.com - does what it say on the tin.
unfortunately for headphones wearers everywhere, www.iamacunt.com is already taken.

― Simeon, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

www.ilx2.com (or ilxtwo.com if you can't have numbers)
Probably not a good idea: www.fuckoffnewbies.com

― Jeff W, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

www.ilx.com.br

― Chupa-Cabras, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

ilx2 is good, and none of them are taken.

― Graham, Tuesday, 6 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

― , Friday, 9 August 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Daver's bought ilxor.com, so he kind of has.

You can do an emergency renewal for him if you want to. No one can hijack the domain for like 30 days.

― OLD SPICE® CHEMTRAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (ex machina), Monday, 18 July 2005 20:14 (twenty years ago)

why are we imagining that anyone else would want it?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Monday, 18 July 2005 20:20 (twenty years ago)

Because p0rn sites automatically buy up any expired domain names in order to capture their traffic.

(this happened at a former job, and lots of our clients suddenly wanted to know why we were apparently linking to "bignaturals.com")

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Monday, 18 July 2005 20:21 (twenty years ago)

porn sites, gambling sites, faux-internet directories, dating sites etc will buy up domains to steal web traffic

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 18 July 2005 20:24 (twenty years ago)

please let this happen

― Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 18 July 2005 20:28 (twenty years ago)

am there's easier ways to find porn sites

― s1ocki (slutsky), Monday, 18 July 2005 20:32 (twenty years ago)

Remember when this happened to freakytrigger.com?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Monday, 18 July 2005 20:33 (twenty years ago)

YES, in April 2001 the domain sharks came along and redirected traffic.

tom, had to switch to freakytrigger.co.uk
