461700 2006-06-10 14:37:00 it cannot be affiliated with PressF1/PCWorld/IDG in any way, shape or form.Why not? Greg (193)
461701 2006-06-10 14:54:00 Probably because of political correctness and fears of legal repercussions or annoying powerful corporations like MS and others.

If somebody uses bad language, or in some way or another insults someone else, swaps w4r3z, exchanges h4xx0rz then it will reflect badly on PressF1/PCWorld/IDG, and they wouldn't want that.

Especially since it will be difficult to closely monitor a Wiki run and administered by PressF1 users on a day to day basis but affiliated to PressF1/PCWorld/IDG by dint of the name.

I can see why they wouldn't want to risk this connection.

461702 2006-06-10 21:32:00 I prefer ".net.nz" as ".co.nz" implies that it is a commercial site. Seems its not someone selling plastic moldings, right?

".net.nz" implies networking, either social or computer, (seems about right)

and .org.nz implies that it is a non profit organization or political (a hippy site)

:D

461707 2006-06-15 07:07:00 faqf1.net.nz, to keep parity with ImageF1 and ChatF1. I'm happy to help pay for it :)


I voted .co.nz but after reading this I will now say .net.nz :o
