So earlier I found out that the .su domain, which was the old top-level domain for the Soviet Union, is still quite functional, and Russia wants to keep it alive for some reason. I did some research, and icmg.su would only cost us six hundred russbucks a year to maintain, which, according to Anne, is just over twenty-one American dollars. Tell me what you guys think.
[1:04:32 AM] kaiwren☆☭: icmg.su
free
600 RUB/year
[1:04:43 AM] kaiwren☆☭: FOR SIX HUNDRED RUS)))BUCKS A YEAR WE CAN HAVE icmg.su
[1:04:51 AM] kaiwren☆☭: .su IS THE TOP-LEVEL DOMAIN FOR THE SOVIET UNION
[1:04:53 AM] kaiwren☆☭: IT STILL FUNCTIONS
[1:05:00 AM] kaiwren☆☭: THEY TAKE REGISTRATIONS
[1:05:07 AM] kaiwren☆☭: DON'T WE WANT A SOVIET UNION DOMAIN FOR THE ICMG
[1:05:08 AM] kaiwren☆☭: ((sun))
[1:22:33 AM] Snoozzzer foo': It's very possible.
[1:22:53 AM] Snoozzzer foo': No doubt there are folk in disco who can write up a webpage in preparation too!
[1:23:20 AM] kaiwren☆☭: Probably.
[1:23:33 AM] kaiwren☆☭: I'd have to register a .su domain with the RUS))) authorities, though.
[1:23:40 AM] kaiwren☆☭: Maybe I could get Saddy to help me out?
[1:23:41 AM | Edited 1:23:43 AM] kaiwren☆☭: ((rofl))
[1:25:01 AM] Snoozzzer foo': "Uh, hiya guys. I'm a gamer, and wish to put up a pro-communist website for my clan. Is it kay for me to use this domain?"
[1:25:42 AM] kaiwren☆☭: FLAWLESS PLAN.
[1:26:29 AM] kaiwren☆☭: I can see some fat, bald Russian guy at his desk in a dimly-lit room with a tattered soviet flag in the background and a modern Russian flag duct-taped on top.
[1:26:34 AM] kaiwren☆☭: He takes a sip of vodka.
[1:26:40 AM] kaiwren☆☭: And he simply types.
[1:26:42 AM] kaiwren☆☭: "Da."
[1:26:46 AM] kaiwren☆☭: And presses enter.
[1:27:22 AM] Snoozzzer foo'::D
[1:27:40 AM] Snoozzzer foo': Is it 21 for the year, life, what?
[1:27:53 AM] kaiwren☆☭: Yearly.
[1:27:58 AM] kaiwren☆☭: 600 russbucks a year.
[1:28:46 AM] Snoozzzer foo': Ask zeee ICMG and various discoers to halp make it happen!
ye I realize absolutely nothing good can come of this thread (smoke)
Also so this is relevant to the rest of Disco, what do you guys think about groups that use external forums, such as the CR?
