New Domain Name suggestions.

Ok guys and girls.

This has been brought up and discussed a few times, and now I really think it is time to get some action in place with this and begin moving forward with it

Now for me, I would prefer a nice .com site, but if it has to be a .net or something to get a better name? What do we think?

So playing around with the name in any way you can, could I ask that you come up with some potential site names for a new link to the forums and a potential new frontpage/fansite what ever we end up doing?

So far there are two suggestions.

www.Respectingaming.com

www.therig.com

So any more thoughts or ideas? lets see what we can come up with, then we can put it to a vote?

Hi ty!

I checked the domains you listed and while therig.com seems taken, the respectingaming.com appears to be available. Just a thought,
I use tools like this checkdomain.com , to see if names are still available, might be a good idea if anyone had a name suggestion to cross check availability.

I have just one problem with respectingaming.com - it's a tad too long. Research has shown people tend to not remember as clearly website addresses with more than 6 letters. (don't you love fake made-up statistics too?)

But still, my point stands. Maybe it's too long?

I agree with Grome, too long might not be a good idea.

Also, ww.riggroup.com seems available.

I always hate trying to come up with domain names, all the good ones I want are taken.

How about rig-world.com.

I think we should keep it short too...something like this..

RiGSchwen&theflyingWhitneyHoustoncrackwhores.com

You gotta admit, it's catchy



And, you all know I'm only kidding...

Schwen, until I read the notice that you were kidding I was convinced you were serious.

(Seriously, don't explain your jokes )


I don't know how you feel about this but I'd think the cleaner the better. What I mean is avoiding additions à la "rig-home", or "rigsite", or whatever. Alright, some of them are catchier than the ones I just mentioned.

Apparently we're out of suggestions. I'd still favor therig or respectingaming (the pro is: at least people are sure to know what it's about before even getting to the website).

Other than that, what do you think about rigcom.com (the com is for community). I don't particularly love it but it's kind of easy to remember and short.

I like therig, sounds like something you want to be apart of.

I like it too and it would have been my favorite. therig.com is gone though.

.info and .org are available though

therig.info

therig.org

hmmm.

Although, the rig sound a bit like the brig.

Az...you're going to theRiG..*slams door* hehe...

I like it too, though...


And Grome, you never know...someone out there in RiG Land might think I'm serious...or...be a big Whitney Houston...crack...or prostitute fan....ya never know Moral of the story is, better safe than Whitney...

Haha

Anywho... I guess we should take this to a poll? Doesn't seem to be much more of interest coming in...

So far there's:

- respectingaming.com
- therig.org
- riggroup.com
- rigworld.com
- rigcom.com

personally I'd say the first two make the most sense.

I'll leave it to Ty to make the poll.

therig.org gets my vote

I think therig.net was free as well? At least it was when I checked the other day.

I would prefer a .com personally but can't have everything I guess, lol

Is rig.org or rig.net taken? We really aren't "the respect in gaming."

Spam, why would you rather be a .com out if curiosity?

pretty much every interesting one with just "rig" is taken.

.com is the most "prestigious", that's why.

As an FYI, I have purchased 'respectingaming.com' since that seems to be favored and with all the domain searching going on I didn't want one of those conniving domain registrars snatching it up in an attempt to extort us for it. If you all want to use something else, that's fine, but at least we know this one is safe

Other options I have found so far.....

Rigcommunity.com

MMORIG.com

MMO-RIG.com

SWTOR-RIG.com (I like this one......lol)

GAMER-RIG

RIG-Gamer

Will keep looking, lol

For all that short is better, I also think that easy to remember is good. And "respect in gaming" is what we're all about, therefore its easy to remember. No question of "mmorig" vs. "mmo-rig" vs. "rig-mmo" etc.

So what's the verdict? Really need some more feedback please!

No mmo in the name please, that just make it sound like "cheap" free based MMO websites.

RIG is short and all, but it doesn't really communicate well what we represent.

SWTOR-RIG is nice, but might make the website look SWTOR focused more than community focused. Although, with the .com, we can always pretend it's for community and not commercial...

So I put my vote down for SWTOR-RIG.com or respectingaming.com.

Thanks, Arz! That's cool.

Ty, I'm still on respectingaming.com, even more so now, since Arz already purchased it
Like Ald said - while short is good, if you add something random that doesn't really make you remember this specific community it won't stick as well. respectingaming is something you can't forget, even though it is "long".
Otherwise I'd suggest you make the poll.

I think that sounds fine for my 02.

Ok, well let's go with that then
