# if you get rid of www.
in your web browser you can see them, eg
b3ta.com/board/

rather than www.b3ta.com/board

# no it isn't
It's an image saying "Image stole from b3ta"

But quite what the image stole from b3ta I don't know.

maybe the logo.

Yes I know I could use b3ta.com/board instead of www.b3ta.com/board but that just isn't going to happen

# because then I would have to change my bookmarks
And I'm far too lazy.

Besides, urls for websites should start with www. It's tradition. And just plain common sense.

Otherwise I might be talking to an ftp server or a gopher server or some other such nonsense.

# i think www is daft.
i mean 98.9 % of people using the web are going to be using www sites 99.56% of the time anyway, so all websites in my opinion should just not have www, it just seems a waste of time typing in www when b3ta.com will / or should do :)

# yes but
b3ta.com is just a domain.

www.b3ta.com is a server (well in this case a mapping to a couple of servers)

it's just laziness to omit the www. bit.

besides saying www. is tickly on the tongue.

# Stolen
There's an 'n' on the end, you know.
