Why not be Gbatemp.com

[JonnyB]

I dont really know why we dont go for that Domain. we have gbatemp.net but it just redirects. Can you clarify it? Thanks.

well for 1 domains cost money

 

[Gaisuto]

First, does it even matter much? Also, don't .nets cost money too?

I first wanted to buy gbatemp.com domain,
but as you can see it is unavailable.


anyway, Microsoft choosed DOT NET too

(joke - developpers may understand)

indeed

Also i might add we arn't a commercial site so we don't need a .com we need a .net

Still, if Kivan so chose, he could make a claim against the .com version, to which it would be quite possible he would win. They transfer the names to those with a good case for them.

I just have this site added to my favorites, i dont remember ever typing the address in

 

[Amoblaz]

Why are you complaining for that redirection?
just type www.gbatemp.net, if you want them to not redirect then buy them a domain <_<

KiVan doesn't even know this site anymore.. so why would he do that?

 

[KotaInka2]

Hopefully, Kivan will be making a reappearance soon. Still, I was only throwing out a hypothetical, as he is within his rights to make a case for it if he so chose.

Do you just like trying to argue with me?

I retired from that game long ago.

Personally, I like GBATemp.org, but that's just me.

that's because you "live and die miserably alone"
you're much to much alone and lost the way of the humanity

who cares gbatemp.net .org .com .blabla just hit startpage et voila!

 

[Tempest Stormwin]

Here's also why....

.com = COMmercial site, business, etc.
.net = NETwork, in the same sense that GBATemp is
.org = ORGanization, less like GBATemp but often contains a forum nonetheless
.gov = US GOVernment. They jacked the .gov extension... every other national government must use their national, two-letter extension (example: Gov.ab.ca for the Alberta Government (Canada))

.com doesn't fit this site at all, or even half the .coms out there already...

-Tempest out.-

 

[Hovercraft]

and isnt getting a .net cheaper?

I like typing www.gbatemp.net, its quick and easy... why bother changing???
