Suggestion for a new URL

It's a reoccurring problem that people mistake Löve's name for "love2D", because of the url. Maybe we should move to another url, just to avoid confusion. I guess we could register www.löve.org, but that's a bit tricky to type, so I have a much better suggestion: www.♥.org

Much better, right?

We could use löve but keep love2d.org too, making it redirect to löve

love.club would have been cool, but it's taken...

Well, that domain name seems to be abandoned.

Also here's what I've found out:
Created by Registrar: 101Domain, Inc.
Domain Registration Date: 2014-07-11T19:53:56Z
> Domain Expiration Date: 2016-07-10T23:59:59Z <
Domain Last Updated Date: 2015-05-10T13:05:57Z
Maybe we could try to register it next year?

Long time ago, before Love2D existed, I registered L0V.net (note: three characters with a zero instead of O)

It's on the GoDaddy auctions if anybody wants to make a bid:

Can we really register domains with those kind of characters ?
That's awesome.

EDIT: Ah! We can't..

There are working URLs with emojis in them, but maybe .org doesn't allow them like that?

As a point of historical interest... why is there an ö and not an o?
