Title: What domain shall I register?

I've only added the ones I can register via domaincity.

If you want to add the ones i posted then i can purchase it with no problems (i use 123-reg.co.uk).

Still looking for a place for the .cs suffix but it's proving more difficult than i thought.

Can't 10 is the max. Let me know what ones to drop and I'll update. Or you could start your own poll!

Out of all that i posted there's only really three which are worth it i think, and one of those you have already, so how about swapping the two you're not sure about and putting;

deadmenwalking.uk.com
deadmenwalking.uk.net

instead?

My personal pref is the unhyphenated .uk.net one.

i'll keep a close eye on the progress of the DMW band too, so that when they inevitably fail miserably i'll be first in with an offer for deadmenwalking.com and .co.uk (they own both).

I voted for the .co.uk one cos it denotes our nationality.

As domain names disappear pretty quick these days it'd be good if anyone who hasn't voted yet could do so and break the deadlock so the registering can commence.

Get voting abstainers, before it's too late!  :)

Ok, it seems that in the great tradition of British Democracy those with only 33% of the vote have the final say...  :)

The good news is it's still available  :D  the bad news is the uk.net (and uk.com) are more expensive than i expected  :(  and it's 29.99 per year, a minimum of 2 years registration, stick the 10.50 tax on top and it works out to just over 70 quid. £70.48 to be exactly exact.

Between at least 12 of us that works out at....70 divided by....drop the three...into 100....carry the ninety twelve....and relaaax...which is... 5.87 give or take a reuccuring 3. Call it six quid.

That's using 123-reg.co.uk, if anyone knows of a cheaper place, say.

So what does everyone think, should we go for that then  :?:

nothing... we just ALSO want one with the full clan name in it before some cheap jackass rip off clan gets it.

Personally, I can't see the point.

Unless you intend to snap up every combination of dead men walking then why bother?

We're voting to choose just one so why not get the cheapest i.e. a .tk domain one which I believe Gandy said was free.

I agree.... the only goal in this exercise is to have a domain with the full "deadmen walking" in it.

As the cost for a decent unhyphenated name is so high, i'm of the same opinion.

If everyone thinks then that it would be good to have a full deadmenwalking domain name, but that anything other than a straightforward .co.uk, .net or .com is superflous (and that the current one is pretty good anyways), i suggest that we try and secure deadmenwalking.co.uk if and when the band Deadmen Walking are finished with it. (The band are so rubbish that i don't think they're going to do very well...so there is hope)

To that end i'll get in touch with the band/record company asap and try and get a commitment out of them that if and when they're done with it they'll give us first dibbs.

Everyone can help here by carrying on not buying their records and slagging off Deadmen Walking (the band) as a bunch of talentless miscreant f***wits whenever discussing contemporary music.  :twisted:  :D

First rule of Internet domain name ownership:  if anyone's interested in your domain name, demand a metric buttload of cash for it. :(

Let's just hope they don't have a rulebook  :wink:

While i'm here, the chap with the .com has just mailed back saying they have a band named Deadmen Walking (a US version i gather) and for now at least they do want to keep it.

Shame he's in the States, or we could throw carrots through his windows...  :twisted:
