Subdomain uncertainty: everything redirects to WA voter's guide #128

Closed dreeves closed 2 years ago

Replicata

  1. Think of a new org I might want to make a consider.it page for
  2. Say I come up with "foo"
  3. Surf to https://foo.consider.it/

Expectata

A 404 page or something inviting me to create an org there.

Resultata

"Washington's Citizen Powered Voters Guide" which makes me think the name ("foo" in this example) has already been taken.

Circumworkus

Go to https://consider.it/ and click "Create a Forum".

Nota Nebulosa

This may be easier said than done to fix, cuz who knows how many links to the WA voter's guide are out in the wild that people now expect to point there? And maybe this subdomain wildcarding is kind of intentional, to showcase that forum?
