[Serious comment] Dearie me, with that name I thought it was going to be something entirely different. I guess retro 1980s minicomputing has been namejacked by another topic.
Serious point was: I expect the SEO namespace of the former has been overrun by the latter; how do they manage?
If you look at the list of architectures, you can see that the collection does contain a number of artifacts related to actual VAXes: https://vaxbarn.com/collection/arch
Maybe those were the beginning of the collection, and how it got its name.
Also, the curator is a kernel engineer at VMS Software (see "About me" at the bottom of the home page), so he definitely knows what a VAX is.
You're completely missing my point. Of course a museum of retrocomputing would contain DEC VAX et al.; nobody said otherwise; nobody quibbled the bona-fides of the curator.
I legitimately asked how they actually manage with the SEO namespace having been namejacked by another unrelated topic, which is heavily associated with endless flaming. It occurred to me that I haven't seen the term 'vax' on social media in the old sense for several years now. It's been overrun. (If you go on Reddit and search "vax museum" or "Can I see a VAX in a museum?", zero of the top hits are relevant.)
Stop being rude. For the third time, I posted a legitimate inquiry how the set of people using 'VAX' in the now-niche sense 'retrocomputing' manage to handle the SEO namespace for 'VAX' since 2020 being overrun with unrelated posts about vaccines and all sorts of partisan political theories.
Like I said, an inquiry for "Can I see a VAX in a museum?" these days gives zero relevant top hits on e.g. Reddit.
(This question is analogous to what happened to many existing businesses or brands that contained the name 'ISIS' in 2013.)
I imagine most people talking about old VAX machines don't care about SEO. And I doubt there were ever any relevant top hits for "Can I see a VAX in a museum?" on reddit since day one.
But none of that matters, because if you wanted to ask or search for that, you would do it in one of the relevant subreddits. And if I search for "vax computer" on Google I get plenty of good results on the first page.
You're making this into more of an issue than it is.
