Pet Talk name change?

[louhirata]

I just notice this thread! I think Pet Buzz is good. Short, interesting, charming. Buzz is very sympathetic. Someone mentioned at the begining of this thread.

We would say:

- We are the Pet Buzzers
- We are at Pet Buzz
- We love to Pet Buzz (I loved this one! )

so on. Anyone would just other uses of Pet Buzz? By the way, what does it "buzz" means to the Americans? To me, a foreigner, it means to have fun, to talk a lot...

It would be www.petbuzz.com.

Very easy to say and read. If you say on the phone to somone I imagine there would not be problems of spealling. What you Americans say? I always test domains on the phone, how it sounds. It must be easy. Because, if you advertisy on radio, or give interveiw on radio and tv, people must hear and know how to write it.

It can also be a good trademark, which a domains always must be.

We will post the suggested names list/strong possibilities, and yes, we probably will be changing it - just not today!

I honestly don't see the point in changing your name. It will just confuse people even more lol

I know I already posted once in this thread but I'm sure it got lost in the sea of other replies and name suggestions.

I'm already used to calling this board "Pet Talk", you guys were here first, if anything the should change THEIR name, just because you buy a domain doesn't mean you were there first, and besides their forum is not even active, at all. So I think you're fine with staying as Pet Talk.

I dont think we should change the name..we were Pettalkers, we are and we will be

THANK YOU that's what I've been trying to say. There is NO SENSE in changing the name. It will only further confuse everyone.

It won't be any harder to find than it already is, you'd just have to change your bookmark - no big deal. It would still be linked to each of the Dog of the Day, Cat of the Day and Pet of the Day homepages.

Karen that's not what I'm talking about, but.. eh, ok.

[Cinder & Smoke]

It won't be any harder to find than it already is ...

Won't be any easier, either!
Especially if you're one of the 8 Thousand that have managed to find "PET TALK".

"no big deal"

Ever heard of "Brand LOYALTY"?

There's a lot of examples in the Retail & Business Trades, not to mention Magazines,
where a "name change" had very negative results.

"Wanting" a unique dot.com name might be OK IF you were just starting out ...
This is (or was) a very well established site with a huge following ...
One or two "lost souls" a week who can't find their way back isn't all that bad -
out of 8 Thousand visitors / Members!
I've NEVER had a problem getting New Folks directed to the site.

Is there a valid reason why "PetTalkers.com" isn't a viable choice?

PetTalkers.com seems like one of the most logical,
and potentially LEAST-upsetting to the Loyal Members, name change choices ...

And it seems to be falling on deaf ears.

I know I just registered, but I think I like

1. Pet Chats (I have already seen it mentionned)
2. Pet Brags
3. Pet Pages

Good luck if you d decide to go this route.

The name change really doesn't matter to me. Another board I'm a member to is having to get a new server next year and they're discussing name changes also. They've gotten so petty over there about this that they've even had moderators resign. Please don't let that happen here. As I said over there, a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet. My personal favorite is petapalooza. It sounds like a pet party.

Pet Chat sounds perfect to me!!

[wolflady]

Perhaps it could simply be pettalkers.com?

Or, since you already own the domain: petoftheday.com...I liked Paul's idea of just adding "forums" onto the end of it to keep everything consistent.

**hugs**

Great idea Karen. It'd also be a lot easier to remember when at computers where I don't have it bookmarked.


But, if the name is going to be changed, I love the suggestions:

Pet Gabber
Pet Chat
or
Pet Chatters

[Karen]

Pet Chat is taken already, just FYI
