There has been talk about the domain name. What do you think?

I think it's easiest to stay with what we have right now. Changing it will just make it confusing.

I voted goplayers.org, but actually any domain name is fine with me. :)
Not godiscussions.org though - very confusing!

anything that looks like the "old" name will just lead to confusion.

You forgot one option: Doesn't matter to me.

Like I said on sensei's, I'm not picky about the domain name.

I already set my bookmark. Let's keep the name as is.

I like what it is now, and voted to keep it the same. It's getting adoption, best not to pull the rug out from under people.

At the same time, there's nothing stopping us from getting a domain or two more and just point them here as well, if people really want. Like I said above, though, looks like we're getting some good adoption, so that's probably not even needed.

Yeah, there's no problem having aliases that redirect to make it easy to find. I'm actually fine with lifein19x19 at this point (even though I did register discussgo). I backed discuss-go mainly for search engine optimization reasons, but that's actually a pretty minor issue. lifein19x19 has more personality.

We're here, it works, so I say we respect Jordus's domain and just leave it. He stepped in quickly when problems arose, so let's give him the credit he deserves.

This name happened naturally which is the best way for things to happen. Also, the other options in the poll don't have any character.

The voting ratio is going on 15 to 1 to keep lifein19x19. So I stopped the poll. If enough people speak up to change it again we'll start one up.

Stopping the poll makes the poll results disappear?

If you put a time limit on the poll then no. However if it is an unlimited time limit poll then yes :( You learn something new every day.

lifein19x19 had 15 votes.

and 3 others had about 2 each.

My problem with the current name is that it's pretty long and awkward to say. I don't have a better idea though :D

@Jordus: Thanks, no biggie. :)

Life in 19x19 is a pretty cool name, but hard for me to remember exactly. Is it "Live on 19 by 19", or...? :P But no problem, I'll just bookmark it.

Although Life in 19x19 is a cool name, if I were choosing it I'd be more inclined to choose "Death in 19x19" :twisted:
