Title: Which suffix is least lame?

OK, so I'm trying to get a domain name for some homebrew stuff, and I found out that .net and .com are both taken for the name I wanted. So, that leaves me with .org, .info, .biz, and .us. I hate .biz outright, so which of the available suffixes would be least lame?*

*I fully appreciate the irony of asking about lameness while worrying about what web suffix to use for my homebrew RPG setting.

What's the domain name? I'd probably go with .info if you're posting information, since .org may confuse people about your purpose.

My homebrew world's name is Irrin, so I was going to go with //www.irrin.whatever.

I'm impatient. I went with .info. :)

That's a shame.

Anyway, .org is the only one on that list that isn't lame. The others are pretty dire.

I'd have recommended .info.

I really hate the domain name hierarchy; at one time the suffixes actually meant something, but nowadays they just provide a method for selling the same domain name again and again, and causing confusion. Cf. whitehouse.org vs. whitehouse.gov.
