Help choose the new PoD domain!

Post by SpongeBuell »

As you may have read here, doomportables.gptheatre.co.uk will go down soon. It just so happens that I have been thinking about moving the site anyway, to its own domain. However, I have never been able to decide on what the domain should be. All of the major domains are already taken, unfortunately. The best ones that are available, in my opinion, are doomportables.net and portablesofdoom.org. Of course, I may be open to other suggestions as well. So, go ahead, vote!

By the way, I should mention that it is not a sure thing, but I'm reasonably sure that this will happen. To pay for this, I'll probably have to put a small ad on the sidebar, one of those unobtrusive google text ads. Any surplus from ads will probably be given to charity :)

(side note: anybody who takes a domain behind my back will be hated by me eternally :evil: )

Does feeding the programmers of the site count as charity? :cry:

Depends. If food for the programmers is eating jello of hot women's stomachs, then no! If its the every day burger or something of the like sure.

Also why cant we go with .org, what did one of those domain sharks buy it up when the time ran out on it?

I say portablesofdoom.org, because it's an organization of a group of individuals set out for a single cause (to make handhelds out of consoles)

Will there be subdomain hosting avalible? ;) *hint wink nudge hint* :P

Good, because if I even put something remotely big on my current host (gannon.tk) it overloads gannons site bandwidth.

I dont like either of those domains. The .net domains sound funky and portablesofdoom has too many syllables.
