With the demise of the forums, hopefully there will be some third party site where the fun and games can continue. But I hope that they choose the url name carefully, lest they make the same mistakes as the following legitimate websites.

Everyone knows that if you are going to operate a business in today's world you need a domain name. It is advisable to look at the domain name selected as others see it and not just as you think it looks. Failure to do this may result in situations such as the following (legitimate) companies who deal in everyday humdrum products and services but clearly didn't give their domain names enough consideration:

1. A site called 'Who Represents' where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name is
www.whorepresents.com

2. Experts Exchange, a knowledge base where programmers can exchange advice and views at
www.expertsexchange.com

3. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at
www.therapistfinder.com

4. Then of course, there's the Italian Power Generator company.
www.powergenitalia.com

5. And now, we have the Mole Station Native Nursery, based in New South Wales:
www.molestationnursery.com

6. If you're looking for computer software, there's always
www.ipanywhere.com

7. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is
www.cummingfirst.com

8. Then, of course, there's these brainless art designers, and their whacky website:
www.speedofart.com

9. Want to holiday in Lake Tahoe? Try their brochure website
www.gotahoe.com
