The LOEBNER.NET website is gone now.

Will the Loebner Prize Competition be next?

Certainly no disrespect intended, suggested

or implied.  Just making an observation.

It went quite a while back. The new home for the Loebner Prize is on the AISB website: http://aisb.org.uk/events/loebner-prize

I followed the link and it looks to have been taken over by some malware :(

I had to do a full scan of my PC afterwards.

Troublesome, most articles about the Loebner Prize still link to that address, including the AISB itself.
Here’s an archived version in case anyone wants to salvage old transcripts or such:

Pity to hear that. Actually we should have taken over the website as a community. To late to handle. /\ Hugh

I’ll make sure any references to the original site are updated to either refer to the AISB, or to the archive.org snapshot.

In memoriam, do you think surname.net is better than fullname.com ?

For example: in memoriam, is turing.net an improvement over alanturing.com?

For a site that was a memorial to Turing, or something akin to a biography, I’d expect alanturing.net, for a site more related to the ideas around Turing’s work and legacy, and a host for the community, then I’d prefer turing.net.

So if there was a memorial page to Hugh Loebner, I’d expect hugh-loebner.net.

Thanks for your reply Andrew.

If we research the Registration Directory Services, we can make an observation for information purposes…

I wonder if Hugh may have registered LOEBNER.COM had it not already been registered the year before?
