Getting your own domain?

Why do people want them, because you are paying for a new URL? you will still have to follow IF rules

Yea, take Google for example, if their url was http://www.googlefont/tlp/server3/google/googlesearch not as many people would do on it, .co.uk .org .net .com make it more likely for people to use, it makes it alot easier

Also it looks more professional when you have a .com or .net domain instead of sX.invisionfree.com/BoardName.

No, they suck and are usually filled with spyware.

Well if you dont want to run the risk of spyware, then you'll have to bear with a long url

It makes your board look more professional, and in cases of actuially having your own site, you need one ;).

A domain will cost you like $5.
If you want a domain of your own then the price isnt too much.
If you dont want a domain and cant be bothered paying then dont get one.

But those sites with domains are presenting a more professional edge and most members will actually think you are self-hosted, not thinking of looking at the bottom of the page to view the Hosted by InvisionFree noticeboard.
