EVERYONE VOTE: New Domain Name

[Everlong]

So we've got a new idea for a domain name: pubtalkforums.com. We wanted to go with pubtalk.com but that was taken, as was pub-talk.com. But I like this too.

The operating theory here is that it hints at the atmosphere we're going for - a bunch of dudes hanging out and bullshitting about things you'd talk about in your corner pub, like sports, wrasslin, beer, movies, video games, etc. However, the name ALSO doesn't specifically single out men, so women feel welcome. Additionally, it's a more marketable name than XY anything.

If we get enough support for this name, we're going to go snatch it up and get this thing started. However, we wanted to hear from you guys first. Please get us your thoughts asap - we're getting antsy to pimp this place out

I like it, good shout Tim.

[ShaneOfan]

This is much better than "thexyclub" I still think that sounded like a gay bar.

[BSM]

I like it!

[Locke]

Soooo much better than "thome thexyclub webthite." Haha.
Plus it remains "guyish" but doesn't alienate women, and let's face it, no one wants a complete sausage fest, amirite?

Great idea, Tim!

[Hanley!]

Yeah, I much prefer this to previous suggestions. Good idea, guys.

[xgamr]

it's a good name but I think we should be name for what are site will specifically be about, unless we are aiming for more generalness than im ok with it i guess.

[Camstud]

We're a "man club," pubtalk pretty much covers that without making it sound like women wouldn't be welcomed here.

Where does the "XY Club" name come from?

[AkydefGoldberg]

Get rid of the plural and make it pubtalkforum.com.

Or is there not another word instead of forum that could be included to make it more jazzier? But if not, that sounds fine.

[HardcoreLegend]

With a name like that, It sounds like we would be a forum about pubs!

I do like the thinking behind it though, I'm just not to keen on the actual name.

[Viazon]

I like it. All we do is chat nonsense on here, much like one would normally do with his friends in a pub. Seems fitting.

[HFX]

Where does the "XY Club" name come from?

We're mostly men and XY is the male chromosome or something like that.

Well for the most part, it looks like we've got pretty good support on this. So we're probably going to go ahead and snatch up that domain within a couple days here. I made kind of a snafu with my hosting that'll set us back about five days though, so we can't even begin the process until that's all sorted out. I'm not the most tech savvy person in the world

Anyway, once we begin the process of building the site next week, we're going to be working as fast as we can to get it done and ready to go. While we're building that site, we'll be leaving this one open and then transferring all the data from this site over to that one when it's ready to go. We'll try to keep you updated with our progress!

[Twister]

I really like it!

[Georgerv]

Love that name, speaking of which I'm off to the pub

[Everlong]

Ok, we now own www.pubtalkforum.com

I've installed phpbb forum technology on the hosting, so now we just need to build the site. Should be fun! In the mean time, we'll continue posting here as usual.

[Enygma]

Nice to see the Club getting an actual domain and is moving forward

[Kyle]

Can't wait for this!
