DavidV Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I am thinking of renaming ObjectivismOnline. The reason is that objectivismonline.com redirects to another forum, which some people have either confused with this one or assumed that there is some relationship between the two. Any ideas for a new name/domain? Stephen Speicher once suggested http://objectivistsr.us/ but it's not catchy enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus98876 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Well I think David might be wise to consider the name (and the domain change). If I think of any good options I will post them here. I dont know if Tenure was being entirely serious with his suggestion. No offence meant , but personally I think it is not quite what David should be looking for (but the domains seem to be available). TheEgoist, you might be happy to know : greedutopia.com and greedutopia.net are available domains. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas51184 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Have you asked the .com people if they are willing to part with the address? I like ObjectivismOnline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidV Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Have you asked the .com people if they are willing to part with the address? I like ObjectivismOnline. Mark DaCunha owns it, but he hasn't replied to my offer to buy it. He apparently decided to redirect .com to his own forum after my request.

DavidV Posted October 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 ObjectivismForum.net I am hesistant about forum-related domains because this site is more than just a forum - there's much more to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I agree with GC on this one. I am pretty sure many people would overlook the fact that there is a lot else besides the forum - a lot of stuff GC and a lot of others have put a great deal of work into over the last few years. I have seen people make this sort of assumption before many a time, and it has cost the site valuable traffic. By the way David, is your forum signature meant to have those <P> tags displaying ? I would assume not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenmallory Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 Taco Bell. Did you know that they sell burritos and quesadillas also? I didn't until I went there for tacos. KFC. Did you know that they sell deserts and salads too? I didn't until I went there for fried chicken. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'kian Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 The Compleat Objectivist (compleatobjectivist.com) Objectivism Center (objectivisimcenter.com) Objectivism Central (Objectivismcentral.com) Objectivism (Objectivism.com) Objectivism Resources (objectivismresources.com) Objectivist Resources (objectivistresources.com) Online Objectivism (onlineobjectivism.com) this last is likely to remain rather confusing. Objectivism, Capitalism, Etc. (objectivismcapitalism.com) Capitalism Objectivism, Etc. (capitalismobjectivism.com) this one may draw people who have not heard of Objectivism. That's it for now.

Prometheus98876 Posted October 3, 2007 Report Share Posted October 3, 2007 I like this suggestions D'Kian has offered: Objectivism Central I don't think Objectivist Center is a good idea, people might confuse here with ARI then. Same with Objectivism.com. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prometheus98876 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 What about rationallife.net? rationallife.com seems to be taken, though there does not seem to be site up and running for it. Or do you really want Objectivism/Objectivist to be in it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejohngaltline Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I vote for reversing it, that way we can keep the handy palindromatic acronym. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'kian Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 A few more: All Objectivism All The Time (allobjectivismallthetime.com) ok, the URL is unwidely.

DarkWaters Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 How will the name change affect how easy it is to find ObjectivismOnline.net with Google? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidV Posted October 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Or do you really want Objectivism/Objectivist to be in it?No, that's not crucial. Maybe something with Ayn Rand?How will the name change affect how easy it is to find ObjectivismOnline.net with Google?I will keep both names active for a few years, so it should not have a big impact.Perhaps you could reverse it - onlineobjectivism.com ?I think we should get away from using the word "online" since the "WWW" thing is not such a novelty anymore.

avampirist Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) AisA.com. already taken The-root-of-all-knowledge.com Existenceexists.com is taken, but existence.net isn't. When you go there, you'll know it exists =) The best way to name it is to define it. What is it? It's a source for information on Objectivism. Objectivismsource.com I really like themarketplace.net. Makes sense. Simple. "The owners of the domain name oism.com are accepting offers from interested parties willing to obtain ownership rights over the domain name. You can place your offer by filling out the form below. www.oism.com $2,910" What a bother. Let's just rename the philosophy itself.

Prometheus98876 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 themerketplace.com makes it sound too much like Ebay or something does it not? I like the Objectivismsource.com though. No I dont think that we should use that last one, lets stuff to Objectivism, or not at all, that is to say I don't think we should use some similar word as it might imply we are not entirely in accord with Objectivism.

Tenure Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I don't like the double 'l' in RationalLife. What about The Objective? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mimpy Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 I really like rationallife.com The two "l"s don't look good, though. Maybe rationalife.com? Hmm. rationalvalley.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prometheus98876 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 (edited) Well, as I said earlier, rationallife.com (with the double l ) is taken already. Rationalife.com and .net are available apparently, they seem like decent options. rationalvalley.com and rationvalley.net are available, and are good options. EDIT: What about rationalbeing.com? The domain is taken, but there seems to be no site, you could buy it from the owner. Rationalbeing.net is not taken.
