RIP dot ALT

Why can't I type in the title line in either Firefox or Safari?

Although I have not been there for quite a while, alt.coffee was one of my all-time favorite sitting-around places. After 12 years they shut their doors and now have been replaced by a much cleaner, less inviting looking place. It is sad.
