Re: some questions about wwp and improvements to the site.

The most appropriate url would be wwp.org, but that was already taken
(by the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association).
Dot-com is really the one worth having, most browsers supply it
automatically, and people also type it without thinking. You may
remember a while ago when the IQTVRA owned iqtvra.org but not
iqtvra.com - and someone set up iqtvra.com as a redirect to a very
blatant porn site. We probably had some very surprised people looking
for vr information.
