However, most people have trouble spelling Testosterone and modern man has the attention span of Paris Hilton on crack.
We wanted a snappy, logical, and very easy-to-remember URL to get to our home.
Now you can tell worthy friends to just go to 1500T.com (even though the current URL will continue to take you to T-Nation).
(In case you’re interested, 1500T refers to 1500 nanograms of Testosterone per deciliter, which by all accounts, is a VERY high blood level of Testosterone).
—Your URL doesn’t have to be the name of your organization; it’s simply your Web ADDRESS. So, where does Testosterone live (on the web)?
1500 ng/Dl is normal, 200 ng/Dl is normal too. Who made up these stupid rules anyway. How can a chosen amount of something be considered normal 7.5 times that amount still be considered normal. That’s just rediculous. I want to maintain a normal 1500 ng/Dl state at all times, unfortunatly, that’d take doing a cycle to get it that high.
No offence meant TC, and maybe I am just an elitist bastard, but why do you guys need to cater to people who cannot even spell a fucking simple word correctly?
Are you sure it’s a good idea catering to people who can’t spell “testosterone”? Even worse - the URL is “T-Nation” - if they can’t spell that, then we should be keeping this site a secret from them.
Not sharing. They will have little to contribute and bring the average IQ of the site WAY down. This seems like really catering to the masses.
It might do something positive for supplement sales ifthey can read well enough to find the big store banners and links.

Wait a second, you expect people who can’t spell “testosterone” to have “1500T” easily remembered since it means a certain level of nanograms per deciliter of test? I personally think T-Nation is the best bet, but what the hell do I know.
In other testosterone related news, I turned on CNN last night, and the big headline was “Testosterone found in Benoit’s system”. GASP! You mean, he had testosterone in him? What about blood cells? Did he have any of those in his system at the time of the murders? They sound dangerous.

Aw c’mon.
I don’t know how many times I was at the gym and had to repeat myself 8 freakin’ times because I either had to spell out Testosterone or say
“T hyphen Nation” over and over again.
There are plenty of smart people who can’t spell worth a damn.
This makes it easier.
However, you won’t even see it. Use the same URL you’ve always used.

Hey, even F. Scott Fitzgerald, famous repected writer, couldn’t spell worth a lick. Of course, he was a lousy lifter, too, but you get the point!
Trying to get away from the “testosterone”
image for the ladies? Beside we all know spelling isn’t a necessity any more since google will ask you if it thinks you made a mistake.

Someone’s a little worried about image me thinks.[/quote]
Yeah, this must be why the site now has “Testosterone” across the top of the home page.
I’ve encountered plenty of people who get the deer-in-the-headlights stare when I’ve expected them to write “testosterone.”

Guys, take a step back… it’s just another URL!
Testosterone.net still works and last I checked, we’re back to having Testosterone across the top.

You are correct. It also makes sense to snatch up as many domain names as seems logical. I don’t have a problem with that at all.
I didn’t like the fact that peoples’ inability to remember or spell a word was mentioned as a reason for adding the URL. Excuse me for being literate, but come on. All you have to do is type ‘testosterone’ in a search engine to come up with the name and proper spelling. I really think I would have been fine if that hadn’t been mentioned as a rationale at all.
It seems dumb, and I personally don’t want more people on here who can’t read or comprehend what’s being said. We have enough of that already. Also, I will say that anybody who gets a deer in the headlights look at the mention of the T word is, um…well somebody who probably doesn’t belong.
There’s “I wanna look cut” and then there’s “testosterone scares me”. One is annoying, but the other is neurotic. Or at least unbalanced and reactionary.
That being said, I would totally understand if we were talking about alternate URLs for MWA. Women may be more prone to feeling anxious about the T word at first.

As it used to and as it should have and as it should always be. That banner should be static through out the all the pages. It is beautiful in it’s simplicity and grace.
