I was told that I was obliged to go into an internet cafe and post on TF even when I was on holiday.
However, consider this imaginary variation of a likely scenario:
Two youngish people, CJ and Travelling Companion (TC) are standing outside an internet cafe somewhere in Paris.
CJ: Do you mind if I pop in here to update the folk at TF?
TC: TF, what on earth is that?
CJ: Taking Fire, it's well, sort of, a blog.
TC: Oh, I didn't know you had a blog..
CJ: Well, it's more of a group blog.
TC: That sounds cool, what's the URL so that I can look it up when I get home?
CJ: It's aaronbelldotorg
TC: That doesn't sound like a group blog. Who is this Aaron Bell and why do you have to post on his website?
CJ: Em.. [sighs]
TC: Wait a minute, 5 euros an hour, we could almost buy a Parisian pint with that.
CJ: Good point!
The pair stumble off and continue their vain attempt to locate a 'rock bar' in Paris.
So, how's about it? A new URL to reflect the flourishing group dynamic that will surely ensue. I'm told this website used to be good, so why not make it even better?
Here ends the petitioner's petition.

Oh FFS. That’s much funnier if you read the “TC” parts in the voice of Top Cat.
So it’s not enough that we’re consistently #1 on Google? Even above Taking Fire: The True Story of a Decorated Chopper?
Seriously though,
1. I have to persuade the Californian rock band of the same name to hand over their .com domain.
2. I’ve just noticed takingfire.org is free. Sorry, was free : )
