Webmaster would like your opinions for the site url. Here are the candidates:

reserve.co.uk
special.reserve.co.uk
specialreserve.net
SRDN.com

Note - we do not own specialreserve.com or specialreserve.co.uk

special.reserve.co.uk uses the space normally taken by "www", for the "special". The domain is actually reserve.co.uk.

SRDN stand for Special Reserve Discount Network.

The winning domain will be used across our site, so the url for UKgames.com would become http://specialreserve.net/ukgames (for example).

Of course entering http://UKgames.com would still take you to the same site. (if you follow me).

Please vote in order of preference e.g.

1. SRDN.com
2. special.reserve.co.uk
3. specialreserve.net
4. reserve.co.uk

Please actually list the urls, the numbers on the left are to indicate the order of your vote, and you'll have trouble posting the list if you do not put the numbers in front of it.

Why is that webby? - Don't we want lists posted?

Venombyte:

The server distinguishes between words as separated by a space. Since there isn't a space during a list (only returns) the server counts it as all one word. Therefore the solution is to put a space at the end of each line.

Simple!
