Thinking about changing the name of the site to get it more bike related. Any suggestions? A .com and .co.uk name has to be available for registration.
November 16, 2004 at 7:53 pm #20874GSX RatParticipantbit obvious really, but should pull the punters in – both available according to register.com (dot co dot uk and dot com)
wait for it…

November 16, 2004 at 8:29 pm #20875GixParticipantI don’t know about these sort of things so excuse if it seems like a dumb question;
Will it mean the address will change? What I mean is, when I come to the forum, I dont type the address in the address bar, I have a desktop icon and hey presto I am here. Will I have to create a new shortcut or just change the name of the present one?Rebel with a cause!

November 18, 2004 at 8:48 pm #20878imperialdataKeymaster@Gixerchic: Well the address would change but I would keep the link so users searching for Forum99 would get redirected to the new site. Your desktop icon properties would therefore remain the same.
@Radar: Bikerworld exists!
November 18, 2004 at 11:07 pm #20879GixParticipantWhen is this change gonna take place? And what on earth has happened to hooly’s post? All I can see is a dot!

November 19, 2004 at 1:20 pm #20880imperialdataKeymasterPM’d Hooly to say that it was a great suggestion and I would register it as soon as poss. I cut his post so nobody else would pinch it. Basically it is ours in 48 hours, change will take place (seamlessly) when I get some time to do a few logos and page redesigning!
PS Gixerchic.com is available if you’re up for an ego trip.
November 19, 2004 at 2:33 pm #20881GixParticipantHE HE HE HE HE. Wouldn’t know what on earth to do with it or where to start!

November 19, 2004 at 5:02 pm #20883imperialdataKeymasterYes, just a bit of branding and an attempt to get higher in the search engine ranks. Just treat it as an ongoing redesign!
Any input, pictures, logos etc will all be welcome.
November 28, 2004 at 6:23 pm #20884imperialdataKeymasterTheBikeForum.com
and
TheBikeForum.co.uk
it is then. Thanks again Hooly, sometimes I can be accused of looking too deep…..
No need to change anything anyone, it’ll take me a while to put something together!
