WWW replaced by WVW

what's this new url

[TomJones]

Just curious. Has anyone seen the [wvw.example.com...] url. I was trying to trackdown a spammer and, I noticed that www was instead wvw on this site. What's the scoop?

[dvduval]

both www and wvw are subdomains, even though www is used on virtually every site.

I wouldn't read much into it. It could be a typo, or trying to hide, or trying to be different/clever-- Dartmouth's campus information site used to be mmm.dartmouth.edu, for example.

Interesting. I've never really delved much deeper than [example...] vs. [example....]

I was hoping to be able to bust these guys on some spamming tactic. I know I am not the only one who gets tired of the "professional business logo" site spam emails. If they even took 2 seconds to look at my sites, they would realize that I spent half a day learning photoshop and, I could render any logo they offer for $100+ US in twenty minutes.
