The Congress of Awesome is easily the most popular feature of Hyperguy.net and I'd like to legitimize it further by giving it its own domain name. Thing is, I'd like some feedback from the community as far as what its domain name should be. There aren't any other Congress of Awesomes (that we know about) so the full spectrum of domain extensions is available (.com, .net, .org), but since we've yet to forge our own country/steal land we're can't score a .gov(yet).
The strongest candidate so far is of course congressofawesome.net, though because that might be too long I'm also considering awesomecongress.net. Or fuck, we could rename the whole thing to bangdollisland.com. coawesome.net is also being considered for brevity, plus its catchy(CoAwesome.net has the site's initials right in the name).
I'm going to set this all up this weekend, but hey, wanted to consider the community's opinion beforehand.
-
Good call. I would personally go for coa.net if possible (which is available).
-
I like bangdollisland.com, or coa.net.
-
As of this writing all coa domain names have been taken. By whom? Your guess is as good as mine. Probably by the Cancer Orators of America for all I know.

I do not like awesomecongress.net - that puts the name backwards. And coawesome.net seems a little vague. I push for the full congressofawesome.net - its a little lengthy but most people get to websites through links or bookmarks, not by typing in a URL (except when on someone else's computer, in which case you want something memorable)

I personally like congressofawesome.net. Brevity be damned.

It was open when I checked it. So instead of coa.net I would go with congressofawesome.net

It was a close race, but in the end
Obama woncongressofawesome.net, though it be kinda long, has been selected for the Congress of Awesome's domain name. It really is a great name in that its memorable and ends in .net.
This is just the first step towards proliferation. The domain name should be active within 48 hours, afterwhich I'll do some site reconstruction to make sure files are in their place(Don't worry, I'll make a backup this time.).
-
Awesome, quite literally. However, I was kinda pulling for bangdollisland in the end there, just to see what BangDoll would do and what sort of traffic we would get.

Site would probably be down half the time. (Which is really not that much different than now...)
-
8 votes and it's time to settle on a domain name? Why not 10 votes?
-
Because I wanted to wait no longer than the span of the weekend to set it up.
-
Congress of Awesome is going places. Can't wait to see the site so long as it has a tribute section to hyperguy.net. Never forget where you came from.
-
This is the site!
...But, it still looks more like a forum with a few addons than a fully fledged community site. Some modifactions to the news pages and blocks are in order.
As of this writing, congressofawesome.net is registered but not fully propagated. If you go there now it'll take you to that bullshit sedoparking page my domain registrar owns.
-
As of me writing it appears to be working. Nice jorb.
-
One edit later(to the forum's default url) and everything appears to be operational.
Please update your bookmarks if you haven't already.

bangdollisland was the obvious winner in the popular vote
I'd like to see the absentee ballots thank you very much
the url should actually be 69ingallnight.com
no but seriously I would have liked hyperawesome.net
-
also motherfucker just so you fucking know everytime you change your fucking domain you fuck up my script/popup/cookie whitelists and my Dial-a-page springboard homepage you fucknutter
for a second i thought you fucked up the fast dial extension pretty bad it was refusing to load the thumbnail of the frontpage of coa.net and I was like oh nutters =(

Take the condom off of your router! :0
-
but then how am i going to rape every random website's bunghole that passes by and not get e-AIDS?
-
what is with WebDAV in the nonexistent galleries? are you trying to annoy me?
-
is it just me? or does .Com and .Org not sound as cool as .Net ????
-
.com sounds substantially cooler than lame "I'm trying to be cool" .net
... both are still assrapingly better than .org though, yes.
except maybe .org.y
for completely different reasons
