when i got the one for my site i set it up to just forward to my carrd since i hadnt updated the links everywhere and didnt think to just clone the site and make them both work... so now they both work! after a while i will clear out the carrd version and just have it redirect to the main domain (assuming some people might just have the carrd bookmarked)

i bought badendtheater.com today because i'm working on something that will be printed and it feels silly to put the carrd url on such an official thing... so i did the same thing as with my main site and made a copy so both links work. next i gotta update the official links everywhere...

but now, the reason im posting about this at all: i was gonna go ahead and grab lonelywolftreat.com today too...... but it was taken?!!?!?? and i was afraid for a minute that it was being used for nefarious purposes, but instead... it redirects to the game page on itchio...... wh.... who did this?? this is so kind actually???? but i also kinda want that domain...! i mean i don't need it right away since the game isn't finished still but...! huh??!?!?? (thank you????????)

If you haven't already considered it, it might be worth reaching out to the domain owner via their WHOIS contact! Even though there's domain privacy in place these days, you can typically send an email to the registrar via the WHOIS info, and they'll forward it along to the proper owner.

If you don't already have a way to use WHOIS, you can use https://lookup.icann.org/en/lookup for that.

i'd link the video i saw, but it's in spanish, so i'll just do a summary: indie game dev wanted to buy the domain "http://flatworldgame.com/" for his game, but someone had already sniped it. other alternatives werent taken, but the dev insisted that he wanted that exact domain. turns out, it was bought by a fan for him (he's also a moderately big youtuber) in order to protect the domain from other potential domain snipers. he handed him the domain, and nowadays it links to a page showcasing his game, which i believe is complete and out now, but it doesnt have an english translation afaik
