why no www.lowendspirit.com?

Why does www.lowendspirit.com not resolve, while lowendspirit.com does?
Not a big problem if you're somewhat tech-savvy, but I think a lot of users still type "www" in the URL.

    It's probably just an oversight with no other significance

    I have skeptical hippo eyes.

    Well there is also the issue with the session cookies, it was a bit source of complaint on LET, people getting logged out, badly redirected etc, someone uses www links to a post, you click on it as someone who does not use www and you are logged out.

    Does not play well with forums.

    A simple redirect that removes the www. part usually takes care of all problems.
    The forum is at talk.lowendspirit.com so that should not be affected at all.

    I like how everyone is giving Ant examples on how to rewrite subdomains.

    If you want a hacked copy of WordPress, I'm pretty sure you can just install WordPress and wait awhile.

    I forgot to say I will make a www. version too, a lo-fi geocities 1997 style one.

  • URL doesn't matter nowadays. Once bookmarked, you generally never look at it anyhow.

    It could have been end-nigh.lowendfuckedupworld.hiiiiyanigh.ca and nobody would bloody care.

    Maybe.

    I care!

    I don't use bookmarks, because I use Ctrl+L and start typing ta.. and browser autocompletes the url and I hit Enter and it all together is faster then finding and clicking a bookmark, plus no hassle over transferring bookmarks between browsers, over reinstall and so on...

    So no, please keep URLs human-readable!

    And also concise url is anti-phishing measure!

    I prefer having a subdomain, always. So www.domain.com is what I'd use instead of the naked domain.
    With appropriate other subdomains as needed.

    So if lowendspirit.com is used - I'd reddirect that one to www.lowendspirit.com.
    Leaving the forum as it is.
