LDraw Foundation (as in the)

Nice one... :)

I like that one too!  I also think that "LDraw.org" works well as a title
- similar to the titles of other sites, for example, Amazon.com,
Adequate.com, barnesandnoble.com, etc (I can't think of any .org ones,
though).

Don't forget zacktron.com :)

Well, lets see here, my votes would go for either:

The LDraw Foundation -or-

www.ldraw.org

For ldraw.org's site title.  I like both of em, and though ldraw.org sports
that simplistic elegance Terry talked about, The LDraw Foundation has a
cool ring to it. :)  And is it LDraw or Ldraw?  If its www.ldraw.org, lets
keep it lowercase - one of my many pet peeves about the web is when people
capitalize domains [1] (eg www.LDraw.org or www.BarnesAndNoble.com or
www.BalmanLabs.com [a friend's site]).

So what doth all think?

[1] Also, I don't like it when people capitalize email addresses, eg:
TCourtney@Avenew.Com -- AAUUUGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! :)


Keep Building!!

(...) I would go with ldraw.org over www.ldraw.org. The www takes too long to say :) To avoid capitalization issues, you could go with all caps...as long as you choose a font that looks nice for all caps. so: LDRAW.org LDRAW.ORG (with .ORG in a (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Well...ya know, you've pretty much got all the time in the world to choose the site's title -- compared to registering the domain and coming up with a Registrant name. One consideration is: does www.ldraw.org or ldraw.org make much sense as a (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) [...] (...) Well, that description IMO can be easily written. I wanted to have a feeling of what people wanted the title to be so I can start making the images... If no one shows interest in deciding this, I will most likely choose The LDraw (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Also good thoughts. I put the www in zacktron.com cause I felt like it, but I see where you're coming from on this and agree with you here. (...) Probably the latter, but I would either go all lowercase or all caps, on a font that looks good (...) (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Why? Isn't DNS resolution case-insensitive? To me, it seems that that would grant a lot of freedom when it comes to bicapitalization. Cheers, - jsproat (26 years ago, 14-Apr-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
  Re: [ldraw.org] Eve of Beginnings
 
(...) It is not case sensitive, you are correct. But it is a BIG pet peeve of me. There's this car that is in my area with www.ArsisRecords.Com printed on it -- its annoying seeing capitals in domains. The web should be IMO a media that carries its (...)
