[edit] A question

What about The Public Root? How does it fit in here? I'm not a DNS guru, so I leave the question to the experts. --Iromeister 21:45, 11 July 2005 (UTC)


[edit] dead .fur links

Both .fur links are currently dead. I didn't remove them because they may come online later. --roger6106 20:18, 6 September 2005 (UTC)

Evidently fixed. Kind of unstable after a move, but we're working on it. --Dennis The TIger 21:19, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging alt-Root with alt-ICANN

since this was tagged on the main page, better discuss:

NO. Alt-roots are all about alternative DNS roots (a bad idea), while alternatives to ICANN are about alternative ways to manage the namespace. Some ICANN alternatives like alt-roots, I'm sure. But they are not the same thing. Alvestrand 21:34, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Some cleanup

Changes some of the dodgy grammer referring to Dr. Emoto, as well as the claim that the fild "What the Bleep Do We Know" is a cult classic. It is neither old enough nor has the critical popularity to be considered so.

I've now removed all of the bloated stuff about the dotlove project. Since none of tge TLDs are functioning, and there seems to be nothing more than an image placeholder on their website, I get the impression that all the flapdoodle put up before was self-advertisement.

[edit] Alterations by ke6isf

Made a few notes on Cesidian and OpenNIC entries in here.

  • .glue (cesidian, ONIC): .glue is an internal TLD that is pretty much reserved for tier one DNS on alt roots. See the OpenNIC page for an explanation of this - at least in OpenNIC, they are not registered to the general public; AMMV elsewhere.
  • Cesidian alterations:
    • Unlinked article for Cesidian; it was deleted
    • Placing the OpenNIC TLDs in this list is redundant
    • Rewrite of description

Have fun.

[edit] .gbl

hello there,

should .gbl be included on this page or a related one in some way? microsoft corporation seems to use it at some occasions, but there is no documentation about it at all. a few people are speculating and many webmasters are wondering about it, especially about phx.gbl, see: http://artific.com/articles/2005/12/27/a_practically_u/

--Meinhard Benn 10:27, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree, it should be included. —Nightstallion (?) 20:43, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
