arden, maybe you try paying attention to what is written before you. scott already has an alternate domain name registered. and any change would still redirect macosx.com to the new name. he's actually done this once in the past. but membership outcry was very strong (along with other contributing factors) and so it reverted to macosx.com. actually the site co-existed under both names for awhile.

thinking up new names is probably not very helpful in terms of this site's future, but i have been amused at the whole idea and the creative(?) attempts at doing so.

like i said arden, if you had actually read this thread instead of just starting in the middle of it, you would have known all that. as for the alternate name - at this point in time that's on a need to know basis. and you don't need to know.

Don't tell us to stop taking about this...it's a tread that interests some and not others.
