[Isolated blurt] I've wasted approximately 108.634 hours of my life...

[nice90sguy]

...typing "literotica.com" into my browser's address bar for years when I could have been typing "lit.com" - I had no idea they owned that name!

And no, I use private browsing and so have never saved a bookmark to it.

 

[Cultivateddesires]

Omfg genius

 

[m_and_em_stories]

Damn they have a 3 letter tld that's rare!

Handy esp on mobile.

 

[TheLobster]

Whoa, that’s true. Had no idea.

What’s really funny, though, is that this domain might be worth more than the entirety of actual Literotica…

My Android phone puts up a line of the icons of my most-visited sites just below the search bar, so I just tap to get to AH!

Yeah that was actually my first thought too

It's more accurate to say that someone owns lit.com and currently has it pointing at literotica.com, but that doesn't mean both are owned by the same people, especially when you consider that both are using Jewella Privacy LLC as the registrant.

What I'd like to know is what meaning of the word you were going for when you typed 'lit.com'

Holy crap, this is literally the most exciting thing I've learned this week




I don't have a lot going on in my life.

"Honey, I swear, I was looking for light bulbs! I have no idea how I ended up at that site!!"

lit.com redirects to literotica.com through a URL that includes Google Analytics metadata (utm_source, etc.). Which means that whoever set it up wanted Lit admins to know the exact usage stats for this alias.

It's not a stretch to assume these are in fact the same people.

 

[crookedletter]

Man, you just put whole minutes back in my day. Thank you for your service.

 

[StillStunned]

I visited literotica.com once about two and a half years ago. I haven't left the site since.

Interestingly, lit.com was registered 3 years before Literotica.com was.

 

[TheLobster]

Unfortunately, because the redirect is dumb and doesn't take subdomains into account, my.lit.com still takes you to literotica.com instead of my.literotica.com

 

[cw5523729]

Well, damn

This is a cool way to modernize the classic premise, where a company wants to build another skyscraper or similar pointless eyesore, but they first need to find a way of convincing the owner of a beautiful old house on the plot of land in question to move out and sell it.

Just let the company be some VC funded, fad-chasing startup, and the "house" a highly sought-after domain which the owner purchased on a whim for five bucks thirty years ago

And then somebody in the startup’s boardroom suggests that they all start reading the stories so that they can understand how the site owners think.

And eventually they are converted to a philosophy that eschews the pursuit of unnecessary material things and focuses on life's simple pleasures — such as sipping tea with your cat sleeping on the porch, tending to a colorful flower garden you have in your back yard, and of course the bi-weekly orgies in your meticulously maintained sex dungeon.

As it turns out, they catch the wave. After they acquire the site, the trend spreads everywhere, from the humblest Rhode Island mansions to the new East Wing. But ordinary people eventually start to notice a dark trend appearing in the story themes…

And now we have a template which could accommodate any of the Lit's categories! Great job, team.
