message: In Romania, "nu" (pronounced like "new") is the word for "no". Unsigned anon comment from 86.34.6.45 on 2005-11-21 22:58:16 (UTC)
: Interesting.  The question is: Do Romanians make use of .nu in domain names to mean no?  Something like "idont.nu" (if it were english).  Let us know. — Fudoreaper 10:08, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Would Romanian syntax allow a sentence or phrase to end with "no", otherwise, it'd probably look weird? (Swedish syntax, like English, have no problems with a sentence ending in nu(now), of course. 85.226.122.237 20:12, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

message: In Dresden, Saxony (Germany) the word 'nu' is a popular local dialect word for 'yes'. It is not easy to pronounce, but it is already included into the domain name of a local town magazine - www.dresdner.nu.  --92.231.91.12 (talk) 09:59, 17 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I've removed Norway from the list of countries where .nu is popular, as the word for 'now' is nå in Bokmål and no in Nynorsk - nu was used in Riksmal, but it's now considered an archaism in Norwegian. Quiensabe (talk) 19:27, 1 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dispute 

message: Wikipedia now says:
* Especially popular in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, the Netherlands and Belgium as nu is Swedish, Danish and Dutch for "now".
* 2013: The IIS said that 66.7% of "active" .nu domains at the time were registered to Swedish users.
* Registry websiteIIS.se. It redirects to: https://internetstiftelsen.se/
Question:
What percentage of .nu domains are now (2021) for Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, other countries?

message: Any other editors have an objection to removing the entire "McAfee SiteAdvisor" section? Visiting this article for the first time today, I was struck by how little that section adds. It seems to basically say "Back in 2007, McAfee issued a report saying .nu domains were among the highest risk... but then shortly thereafter a press release was issued saying they weren't... and by 2008 McAfee was pointing to other TLDs as highest risk". It seems to have just been a brief flash... perhaps even a mistake in the report... and doesn't seem to really add any value to this Wikipedia article.  I'll be glad to remove unless others have objections. - Dyork (talk) 12:43, 19 September 2022 (UTC)

message: The NY Times recently published an article about .NU and a trial in Sweden around the ownership of the domain. The trial may be over now and so other articles may be available that can help with updating this page.  (Don’t have time myself to do the research and update this page, but leaving this here in case other editors do… or in case I have some time at a later date.) - Dyork (talk) 15:06, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
