I have decided to shut down my URL shortening sites, lolz.ws and lulz.ws, on August 9.
Here are some of the reasons why I have come to this decision:
- The lack of traffic on these sites.
- Most URLs were created by spammers.
- lolz.ws was in the jwSpamSpy spam list for which reasons I do not know, causing it to be blocked by some web filters.
- No email has ever been sent from this domain since the day I registered it.
- It has since been taken out of the spam list as I requested but some filters still block the domain.
- lolz.ws was once blocked for pornography.
- The fact that there are many other URL shortening sites out there.

These two sites, lolz.ws and lulz.ws, are now live as URL Shortening sites.
You can now create URLs like for example:
- http://lolz.ws/alias
- http://lulz.ws/alias
Enjoy, lulz.

Recently I bought the domains, lolz.ws and lulz.ws. What am I going to do with them is make them URL Shortening sites.
Imagine linking to something funny on Twitter, Facebook, or to a friend using lolz.ws:
http://lolz.ws/alias
Imagine linking to something you are doing the lulz for using lulz.ws:
http://lulz.ws/alias
Of course it will be possible to use both URLs for just about anything. It will be a while before I get these sites up.

For a while now, I have had the domain name, toxic-gaming.com, and recently I was able to grab toxicgaming.com without that dash in the middle. For the whole time I have owned the domain, I am yet still planning on what to do with Toxic Gaming. What lies is the what am I going to put, how am I going to pull it off, and what language am I going to program it in.
I did have other plans to make a social networking site, but scrapped that for various reasons, one being it would be impossible to compete with other big sites such as Facebook, another is not having the resources to pull it off, and third is there are many other social networking sites that people don’t know about, such as Hi5 and Orkut. I am actually not a big fan of social networking sites, especially MySpace as you can see on my older posts.
What am I going to put on Toxic Gaming?
There isn’t much I’ve thought of yet, I plan on making it a gaming community some day. Feel free to share your thoughts 
.
How am I going to pull it off?
It won’t take much resources to pull this website off, it would survive on my server until one day it gets big. It also depends on how much knowledge on the language I’m programming it in.
What language am I going to program it in?
Originally it was going to be PHP, but even since I learned about MVC, I’ve been experimenting with new languages and frameworks (including PHP) to see what fits me best, and how much it would cost to run a site under it (hint, ASP.NET).
I appreciate your thoughts and comments .
