Perhaps in the future we can also get the longer version, but we'll have to see.

Why would we want the longer version? This seems fine if we can get it.

Was thinking both, for redirect later on. Not that they are likely to give it up cheap.

Not a bad idea.

Well, fotd.com looks like a spammer website. The same host has fotd.net for sale for $2400. I don't think we'll be able to buy a domain name from someone for less than $2k. So if it's taken, I'd advise to keep looking :(

We could go with a new TLD like .pub or .us, etc.

Here's a pretty good list of the new TLDs

Wouldn't we be a .org not a .com, since we're a non-profit hobby site?

But I agree having the same domain name, even with a different ending, as another site could be confusing.

I think we should go with the .ninja domain ending--just because. :D

.ninja sounds good! You know just because!

what about a something shorter fellowship.com, dicefellowship.com, fellowshipotd.com, etc...

or .org or whatever.

dicefellowship.org (or .ninja) sounds good.

It's kind of odd that there's no .game or .hobby domain ending.

.games would be disasterous for us that post from work.
