It's cool to see the ".int" TLD for once---by far the most obscure of the original seven (.com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, .org, [and .arpa, if you're old]).

- meatwad 13y agoWhoa me too, in about 15 years of surfing the web I've never noticed any .int TLD. Not old enough for .arpa but this is cool. I would have not seen this without your pointing it out. Thanks for the life experience! ;) With mobile browsers these days most of the time the URL isn't even shown.. So I hope everyone can appreciate this
