.su Lives On, Stronger Than Ever

Posted by timothy on from the c-c-c-i-p dept.

CWRUisTakingMyMoney writes "Yahoo! Finance has a story about the defunct Soviet Union's .su TLD. 'Sixteen years after the superpower's collapse, Web sites ending in the Soviet ".su" domain name have been rising — registrations increased 45 percent this year alone. Bloggers, entrepreneurs and die-hard communists are all part of a small but growing online community resisting repeated efforts to extinguish the online Soviet outpost.'"

    Okay, I find the constant /. memeing tiresome to say the least, but that was really funny. Well done.

    Like all comedy, timing is everything. If you stick it as a reply to anything, epic fail, you have to wait untill that perfect moment, when a really ripe one comes along, then bang. You need someone to set you up just right for it, and to get a really perfect one, you need to wait for a long long time.
