Let's choose one of these. And how do we pay for this?

Apparently they use a system of exchange called currency. You press coins or paper notes into their hands and they give you a domain name. I think someone once said it was a near universal concept and can be used to obtain almost anything, even worms CDs.
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

God Teletubbies, I know you haved lived so many things during your life, but yet your knowledge of the world will always impress me. Does anyone have any of this currency stuff? Sounds interesting. Seriously how will we pay for this each year?

I've been investigating the use of this ezoteric 'currency' stuff Teletubbies mentioned for a few years now, and it seems to work most of the time. Over the Net, it involves juggling with some arcane long streams of digits, that you're supposed to read (following a certain incantation ritual) off some magic piece of plastic they give you at the temple. I've been good at following the teachings of the scriptures these past few years, so they gave me a couple of these some time ago; we should be able to conjure a domain name out of one of them.
Yes, that's it, I'll take care of the payment each year. I'll also register the domain on Crespo's name and give him full admin access to the DNS configuration and related stuff. This means somebody else could take over if, in the uncertain (and hopefully distant) future, I either disappear off the face of the earth or simply end up not being able to do it...
If we could only decide which one to pick... maybe a poll would be in order?

Unfortunately, the old (long) site name is still visible once you get past the initial redirection, but this was the easiest and cleanest solution for getting the new domain up and running. There's something called 'domain cloaking', that will actually hide the old domain name in the browser address bar, but I don't like the implementation - it's based on frames, it's messy and doesn't work in all cases. I preferred the classic redirect, at least for now.
Anyway, enjoy the new domain name, and use it as much as possible!
