Two things - if we have a forum we need to have one on the official forums - having one on its own domain will guarantee that it won't be used. You shouldn't register your own Ubuntu domain - domains with ubuntu in should be centrally managed as we've already has problems with domain ownership which have needed the community council to get involved in. http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/TrademarkPolicy gives the official position. "Where possible, we ask that Ubuntu related domain ownership be held by Canonical Limited or a Canonical-authorised organisation. Please ask for a trademark license before registering a domain which incorporates the Ubuntu name. In most cases, we will sponsor registration fees for approved domains, and leave technical administrative control in the hands of the website operator. " Calling it a planet also confuses matters as people think of planets as blog collectors.
