       Kinda funny, yesterday I was doing a quick search for an available domain for my gamedev stuff so it won't be as a sub under my portfolioAnd when i searched for "gamedev" .tld many where taken and on the aftermarket for tens of thousands of dollars...Turned out 'gamedev.forum' was still available for 5 bucks :flan_laugh: I could have sworn .forum domains where a lot more expensive

       @stux the domain name market is such a crazy situation.As much as I'm glad they don't allow this domain squatting on .au domains, the system here is just insane.Want a .com.au? You have to show you run a business, and have made revenue over the past 12 months.Want a .net.au? How many IPs do you have? Not enough? Tough luck!.org.au? Got your non-profit registration handy?😖
