I think it's easiest to stay with what we have right now. Changing it will just make it confusing.
We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.

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

I voted "Keep Lifein19x19.com"

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.
So you've got an eye?
That don't impress me much

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?
