Political forum discussion and planning

[Salty]

Shit. Now it's gone. Lemme see.
I was SURE it was there.

dirtypoliticsforum is available in all forms though. Would that be preferrable to crudedemocracy.com?

The ticket for that domain hasn't yet gone through so it's not a big deal.

[Cain]

That sounds good to me. 

[Salty]

available right in front of my face:

dirtypolitics.tel
.va (Vatican City)
.tm (it doesn't mean trademark, but Ill still giggle every time)
.edu (this is actually appealing, eh?)

If none of these, dirtypoliticsforum.com it is.

[Cain]

.com is fine, though .edu is highly tempting.

[Salty]

Let's go with .edu and if it's not a good fit I can change it before the launch.

[Cain]

I checked.  .edu is only for accredited institutions, and ownership is strictly enforced.

[Salty]

 

Well that's settled then!

[Salty]

All righty. Domain acquired and applied. You can't get there at all yet, well I can't, through the url because DNS nameserver thingies need to update. 24-48 hours.

Brainstormed a few potential names:

Axis Of Malice
The Disorder of Things
Blood and Debt
Broken Hegemonies
Complex Deterrence
Crisis, Complexity and Conflict
Crude Democracy
Dirty Politics
Dominoes and Bandwagons
The Guns of September
Hyperpolitics
Inside the Mirage
Managed Chaos
Negotiated Risks
Shadow Globalization
The Mask of Anarchy
Violent Globalisms
The Post Modern Prince

I know it's already been decided, but just wanted to mention that I like "The Guns of September".  I like it because it has an arty feel to it.  So, if you ever set up a second political forum, (or a blog, or any other cyber-thing) you should call it that.

Domain is coming up for me. Somebody get a stylesheet on that thing stat!

[Cain]

Yeah, saw that.  It's not complete yet though, as logging in tries to switch me to Alty's old domain.  So I suspect the transfer is still taking place.

Poasting ITT for updates. I'll be poking my head in, and in particular I'll be looking to contribute/participate in discussions about mining, mineral resources, and anything that involves pulling large quantities of crap out of the Earth.

The discovery of approximately a gazillion dollars in valuable minerals in Afghanistan a few years ago in particular piqued my interest. Last I read, China was already investing a huge amount in copper mining in Afghanistan that won't even begin to churn out ore until 2014.

Because I am a geologist, and I have no problems typecasting myself.

Sweeeeet!

[Salty]

Yeah it's still doing that thing. The DNS may still just be doing its thing, but I will get in touch with the host and double check.
