poll: select a URL (round one of two)

[ainsley.livejournal.com]

As per the discussion in this post, the fanarchive project needs a name--more than one, in fact. At the moment, we need to identify the URL which the archive will use.

There were far too many suggestions for a radio button poll, so voting will take place in two parts. For this first part, vote for as many or as few options as you like. Voting runs through 17.00 (5:00 PM) Monday, June 4. Monday night I'll post a poll of the top 10 choices for the final decision; that voting will go through Monday, June 11.

I like the .orgs, as they come with the connotation of the "not for profit" purpose that the archive has.

Yes, I'm glad to see that so far, when there are otherwise exact same choices between .com and .net or .org the numbers seem to mostly favour the latter two (although there are exceptions). I know it's a hangover and .com doesn't necessarily mean it's commercial anymore, but I still want to keep away from it for that original meaning.

I like .net in preference to .org (but I voted for both). For me it has a more lateral/horizontal mental imagery than .org which I take as more hierarchical, and so .net feels for me to better fit women's communication styles.
