Earlier quoted context omitted.

Sorry, but pics.ww.com (try your link!) happens to be a live service (see note elsewhere in this thread about 'reserved names'). photos.ww.com ? img.ww.com ?

Haha should have checked my bad.

photos and img are both free, you can have either one.

Jacquesm, I'm intrigued are you thinking this will give you domain authority (in SEO terms)? I can well imagine it would with a links in coming from these users.

I'm not at all saying this is a bad thing, you're giving away a free service, just wondered if it was part of your considerations.

Dank vriend, goede karma aan u! I'd like 'tst.ww.com' but I can't tell if it's free (seems parked/squatted, but maybe not). My domain is www.tstw.co.uk - don't know my dns off hand but can find it if needed & will email you this post.

tbh the thought never even crossed my mind, what happened is that on the #startups channel on freenode.irc.net someone asked me if I would give them a vanity domain on ww.com so I said sure.

Then two other people asked for it, and I suggested that maybe we should offer this to HN rather than just those in the IRC channel.

The thing that has been mostly on my mind is actually the opposite.

Plenty of people are asking for domains that were in use at some point, and ww.com actually relies on a lot of those old domains and backlinks from them for its traffic.

So if anything I'll probably end up taking a hit from this.

It was in use until 2004, so that's yours now.
