Will thedailywtf get a .wtf domain?
-
I noticed .wtf domain names are available since spring this year.
See http://newgtlds.icann.org/en/program-status/delegated-strings
Id be interested in wheter theDailywtf is planning to register such a domain name and what others think of the idea.
Im not sure what the new domain could be - thedaily.wtf for example - that would make a fine poll.
-
I vote for the.daily.wtf - with daily.wtf, www.daily.wtf and www.the.daily.wtf all returning 404.
-
You really want a pedantic URL?
-
I think it's taken.

and thedaily.wtf seems to be reserved by ICANN policy:
