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

really? I thought that died off in 1996
Nope. Lots of people still think www has to be included.
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.

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...

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.

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

So no, please keep URLs human-readable!
And also concise url is anti-phishing measure!
