I... can't explain the formatting above. Sorry, all!

I registered altslash.org for a five year term -- I'd gladly work with a group and have them take over the domain. I'm not looking to sell the domain, or make money off of it. I just think it'd be very cool to be a part of the project. I've used slashdot for years -- although I've been a lurker around here since I lost access to my account after graduating college. I'm assuming my registered email address is my old .edu account. Anyway. I think altslash.org is the best alternative, for two reasons: 1. It avoids trademark issues. The "dot" and "org" aren't a part of the trademark. "altslash," not "altslashdot." 2. It reads the exact same as now, but as the alternative. "altslash" + "dot" + "org" It rolls nicely off the tongue. Maybe three: 3. On a Mac, alt + slash = the division symbol. Kind of fitting, right?

I think there are very valid and real trademark concerns over the use of altslashdot.org -- I'm suggesting altslash.org as the replacement. I picked up the domain, to prevent someone else from just hijacking it for ransom if the altslashdot group wanted to go with it. But I'm not looking to sell it -- I'll transfer it to the foundation if only to help out with the project.
