Is that of top priority? Then maybe start with an acronym and give it meaning. So... make it "press any noble key" or whatever for some PANK action.

It was PAAK though wasn't it? Quick someone make that mean something.

Or how about paaksound.com? Onlyforgirls.net? A Fire reference is not a bad idea.

We need to use THE FIRST FUNKY FORUM someplace for sure. I feel Castle Excellent has a great ring to it, a sort of swashbuckling feel.

Since I'm voting for keeping the forums exactly as they were - at least at first - I think either selectbuttons, selectbutton, or onecoin (.com .net etc) would be great since they best imply the link while remaining sufficiently different and fresh.

That's pretty brilliant. It implies the rejuvenation and expansion of the forums into new territories, and it makes a viable acronym. It's got a good ring to it.

I totally remember searching for newgameplus.com earlier this year, for unrelated reasons. The plus sign is not accepted in domains, of course, but yeah. newgameplus.com and .net are taken already.

It's odd that there isn't a top level domain for games yet, isn't it?

If all you dandies got fancy, you could actually have several domains linking to the same forum, showing a title and logo tailored to each one.

Of course you'd need a common name of reference... Ah well.

pankey.com
(derived from PressANyKEY)

other meanings of "pankey" :

hanky-panky (people getting up to forum mischief)

also "pan" + "key" = "way to the cure"/etc. (Pan as in panacea)

also "key to everything" (Pan as in "everything")

etc.

could someone (i.e. nana) set up a page where we could vote on these? i mean, i think we're going to need html here because a one-man one-vote system isn't going to cut it with this many candidates. it would be best if we could just check off every name we could live with and then go with the most popular one.
