www.cyberspace.org
IS NOT LOCKED
(Here the "IS NOT LOCKED" is in caps but in a smaller font than the URL,
so the letters are the same height as the lower case letters of the URL.)
This is inspired by the old "The Green Bike is Not Locked" signs. I think
it is just a bit more intriguing than a bare URL. Or to be a little more
obvious:
GREX IS FREE
www.cyberspace.org

I like both the midnight snack idea, and maybe even more the Grex
is free sticker.

As long as we're not the "Last Meal of Champs."

I think any appeal to grex being "free" is too strong an appeal to people's
selfish interests. Perhaps something could be done with being among friends
on grex.

It seems like the is a broad consensus for www.cyberspace.org.
Valerie, I am not going to put the logo on the bumper sticker.
It's not real clear from a distance what it is; color printing
just seems to add a whole nother can of worms to projects,
such as last year's T-shirts.
And, it messes up the symmetry of my design.
The logo would make a fine window decal, though, and that might be
something T.S. could produce in small quantities.

I guess I'd prefer www.grex.org rather than www.cyberspace.org
because www.cyberspace.org looks like some kind of ad for cyberspace
itself, rather than a particular group. People might think
www.cyberspace.org is some kind of a joke. But either way it's
a wonderful idea!

Anyone who thinks www.cyberspace.org is a joke is probably
inclined to test that idea.

Yeah, I like the simple approach: "www.cyberspace.org", in one color, and
that's it. It'll be stunning, Ken.

I think www. cyberspace.org is more likely to result in people checking us
out. If you are driving and trying to remember the address until you get to
your destination, "grex" has a much higher likelyhood of being misremembered.
(or forgotten entirely).

I like www.cyberspace.org, with nothing else. I'd put it on my car. As a
matter of fact, I will.

Just to weigh in, I agree that www.cyberspace.org is far, far more
likely to be remembered. Yeah, some may think it's a joke, but as Steve
says, they'll probably test their theory. Grex.org is more of
an "insiders" thing. Only if you know what grex is will you remember
it.

I like the idea of 'everyone welcome', actually, but it does take away from
the simplicity again.

This is a bit irrelevant, but I remember my uncle, a mathematician, who has
a T-shirt that says "The Joy of Sets". What about "The Joy of Grex"?

I've long thought the "Cyberspace Communications" thing was a mistake
because it isn't distinctive. "Cyberspace" could mean anyone, and a whole
lot of individuals and groups do use it. ("whois cyberspace" returned
*180* lines, and 34 of those were "Cyberspace Communications". All but
this one were .COM instead of .ORG sites.
It's cliche-ish name, and is worse because it was a cliche before Grex
started using it. Grex is a distinctive name for a distinctive
organization. It deserves to be promoted. If you're on Grex, you're
here, and there's no mistake about it. If you're on/in "cyberspace",
you're probably using a computer and maybe even have something to do with
the Internet (though that isn't guaranteed).
I urge the use of www.grex.org for the bumper stickers, and for Grex in
general.

I think Grex should eventually phase out "cyberspace.org" and basically
advertise itself as what it is, www.grex.org. This is grex. There are
too many places out there called "Cyberspace" this and that, like the
cyberspace.com that is an ISP out in Seattle. Its a cool name but Grex is
Grex's name and that is just as cool. And less confusing.
It is much easier for users coming here to remember tha t grexis
www.grex.org than it is to remember that grex is actually
www.cyberspace.org
