There's a middle ground, certainly.

I maintain a site (for a loose definition of "maintain", I suppose) called http://fuckingblocksyntax.com. It's wildly popular in the Objective-C development community, due in no small part to the memorable ___domain name. But the site itself doesn't contain profanity or over-the-top machismo bravado, and there's a safe-for-work mirror URL at http://goshdarnblocksyntax.com.

A little profanity goes a long way.




And the Objective-C community thanks you for it, Michael. We wouldn't be software developers, however, if we weren't hopeless pedants who lose the forest for the trees and point out that goshdarnblocksyntax.com is MISSING the amazing attention-to-detail favicon from the original ___domain. Where's the craftsmanship?

I'm never paying for this website again.
