They're all kind of generic to me. I guess we're too good for whitemeatbabyface.com now... :lol

Wrestlingcircle is the least terrible one, besides squaredcircle, which seems to be kind of taken.

I still say we leach off Austin and pick StoneColdWrestling.com. Either way I feel like there were a ton of better suggestions, but whatever. Not trying to rock the boat. I'll be happy with whatever ends up being chosen.

Isn't Reddit like it's own thing though? I'm not on that site so I don't know but isn't it like, a sub-forum on a bigger social media platform? Who cares if a few nerds give us a bit of shit for our name, they'll have had to have signed up in order to do so - maybe one or two that get directed here see our discussion/community and fancy sticking around. Unless we actually get told that legally we can't have it, I don't see what's wrong with squaredcircle - that's the court my ball is in! :tim

Don't underestimate the power of assholes. I'm sure there's one or two of them more than capable of sending DOS attacks or other bullshit our way if they wanted to. Would that happen, I don't know. Would we even show up on their radar? Maybe not.

I voted for squaredcircle, I'm not a fan of any of the other options, they seem a bit lacklustre to me. But I'll be happy with what ever gets chosen!

If we take SquaredCircle, it'll be massive for traffic. I honestly can't believe it's even available.

I voted for squaredcircle.net. i believe being a young startup site that the best route for sucess is to piggyback off the success of an established site. However, i dont think we should directly copy it and it should be TheSquaredCircle.net

I still can't believe you're still trying to push smartwrestling.com man :lol

Like was there a sudden show of support for it in the last thread that I'm not aware of because I know we all shat on it in the shoutbox when first suggested.

Sounds like we're going squaredcircle.net. I'll buy the domain within the next day or two!

Please consider thesquaredcircle.net

I say this for two reasons, one - its not a obvious rip off and two - it gives more fighting power on our behalf if the folks at reddit decide that they feel ripped off enough to hire some law professionals

With that said, I will be happy with what you choose. I just had to voice my concern and now I am ready to accept your choice :cheers

If Reddit causes a stir, which I have a hard time believing would happen. They'd probably send a cease and desist first in which case we would cease and desist :lol

Then we just change to another name. I'll be honest there isn't any clear cut choice that stands out, which is weird considering wrestling should have lots of potential names :P

There is no possible legal action that anyone at Reddit could take over the name, including a cease and desist letter.

So we can copyright "squaredcircle" and send a C&D to them? Haha

I have voiced my concern and it sounds like you have the knowledge to debunk it so i am okay with that... carry on my wayward son, they'll be peace when you are done......
