Some people may come for suicidal cattle and be disappointed.

That’s next door at Millways, this is the cafe. The espresso bar at the edge of the parking lot of the restaurant, if you will.

.cafe
.one
.community

in that order.

[Nightflyer]

Yeah, I think we’ll have to vote on the .tlds, to at least narrow it down to a manageable amount. I like elsewhere.cafe and elsewhere.one, though .community and .zone are good too.

[mdh]

ooh ooh, and .zone, quite right! That is awesome too!

[ChickieD]

I feel like we have several options so if we wait a bit, maybe one goes but we have the others. We can just roll the dice and hope no one snatches up these domains.

[teknocholer]

Didn’t it come up in one of the other rounds that searching for a domain could alert some squatter to pounce on it?

[ChickieD]

depends on which tool you use to look.

Here’s the link in the first round thread

What's in a name?

That may have happened to me. I did a Google search for Ruelle.net when I first suggested it, and didn’t find anything, but when I checked GoDaddy a day or two later, it was taken. A search now yields “Page under construction”.

and @messana’s explanation

What's in a name?

This is a thing now. Squatters will pay shadier registrars for open domain names that are searched for but not registered. Squatter then uses the API of the registrar to auto-register the domain so they can sell it back to you at a premium. I put GoDaddy into the ‘shady registrar’ category, personally. Given the fact that carriers like Verizon and Level 3 have started a trend of directing non-existent domains to their own landing/search pages (calling it “DNS Assistance”), I wouldn’t be surp…

My understanding of the whole process is essentially zero, but I’ve avoided looking up any domains since.

With the less shady ISPs and an HTTPS connection this doesn’t seem to be a problem.

We can just roll the dice and hope no one snatches up these domains.

When there are this many good options and this many voters, we can agree to literally roll some dice when we get to 10 options or less.

Elsewhere.cafe? All those opposed say “nay”.

Seconded

It’s unanimous, then?

Seconded

Carried?

[noahdjango]

let’s do the damn thang

[ChickieD]

@LockeCJ it appears there is a motion going. Do we have this locked in?

[LockeCJ]

I’d still like to put it to a vote, but I can appreciate the desire to settle this sooner.

• Round 1 had 45 voters
• Round 2 had 53 voters
• Round 3 had 60 voters
• (This) Round 4 has 57 voters

How about I put up a poll for 7 days, but end it early if there are at least 54 votes and a clear winner?

Here are the proposed TLDs:

• elsewhere.cafe
• elsewhere.community
• elsewhere.ninja
• elsewhere.rocks
• elsewhere.zone
• elsewhere.group
• elsewhere.website
• elsewhere.studio
• elsewhere.one

I’ve registered one of the above based on speculative popularity.

Did I miss any or does anyone want to add any before I make the poll?

Do we want a single choice or multiple choice poll?

I’ll try to put an appropriate amount of flair in the title, but @ChickieD will certainly take care of it if I don’t.

I’ll make the poll tomorrow, 2017-07-31, so this is your last chance to set the course for this.

[ChickieD]

Thank you!!!
