gollark: osmarks' website.
gollark: It's reasonably short, captures the osmarks.tk™ spirit™, and does not place me at the mercy of Lichtenstein or something
gollark: How does osmw.org sound as an apiowebsite™ domain?
gollark: Yes, but only the first one of those.
gollark: I might want a mildly novelty one like a stupidly short (3-char + TLD one, it's available) domain, or [RANDOM VAGUELY COOL WORD].org.
