And as i said in one of my previous posts, i will be getting a really short domain(s) that they can use for there forum. If someone doesn't want to use a free adless forum hosting service because it has a .org primary domain, then "too bad, their loss!".

And they could get a .co.nr domain that shorten there domain by alot!

I bet you haven't.

Personal preference or not you have to decide on a domain that's going to be the most attractive you can possibly obtain. .net is for "network" as ryan stated but I believe many associate it with interNET as well. dotnet has been gaining solid ground as a secondary to dotcom. It's actually always been in that position but since now so many dotcoms are taken...the dotnet space is even more attractive.

I suggest you place your personal preference for dotorg aside and concentrate on a name with higher potential. Judging by your posts you seem as though you are attempting to make money. It's easier to do that if you consider monetization in every decision you make. That includes the choosing of a name.
