Have a favorite perf fail story? Share it at: http://perf.fail/submit ... Let's fail forward together! :)

It'd be awesome if you add some way to discover the rss feed for the site too, http://perf.fail/rss

doesn't this work for you? http://perf.fail/rss.xml

Being oldschool it is really weird to see .fail and .rocks TLDs.

A decade ago people were laughing at the idea of free alternate DNS roots but now icann just rakes in the money from the same idea instead http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternative_DNS_root#List_of_al...

I like it. It took me a few minutes to figure out that it wasn't just one person's blog though. I like the idea though

I like this site, and if I can remember I'll visit when there's more content. Bit shallow right now.

What is HNs opinion about new gTLDs?

I've been contemplating a new site with a .media extension but I'm not sure if people in my market will think it's a mistake/typo.

A friend told me their mailing software (or rather, domain registrar email forwarding thing) wouldn't accept an email address with one of the new extensions of more than 3 characters. So I'd be careful using it for serious business for a while.

So tempting though, I hate cyber-squatters/abandoned homepages...

The CSS has a bug: .master-header { position: fixed; }

This is cool, but I was hoping it was stories of little-known startup failures. That I would find really interesting; I'd even pay for it, if there were enough stories available.
