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

[unkx80]

@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...? But no problem, I'll just bookmark it.

[Dusk Eagle]

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

I know I'm new, so don't hurt me: The name has way more personality, but it is a mouthful and as a result isn't very catchy; it also isn't immediately apparent as to what it is.

Since there is a decent-sized community for this already, it may not matter. But one of the things that attracted me to GD in the first place was the simple, mainstream-like name.

On the other hand, "Sensei's Library" isn't particularly simple or descriptive, but it works perfectly, so I could just be off-base. In the end, I think we can all agree it isn't nearly as important as having an active and friendly community and responsive/active/non-comatose administration for the board.

I have to say, I find lifein19x19 to be too clumsy to say or tell to people. But them I'm the guy who thought "igoweb.org" would be a good name for a go server.

I think we need to keep lifein19x19 because there are already people here. But if we wanted to add a "shortened" version of it, as an alternate name, could we do that? The "19" is the most memorable part of the current name, so I'd keep that.

How about:

talk19
gotalk19
forum19
life19

etc.? "life19" would be a very nice little shorthand for "life in 19x19". Although unless you are told, you wouldn't probably guess that it was a go discussion site.

Yeah I agree with this. Possible names?
talksente.com
badaji.com
pleaseaddfischertimetokgs.com

[fwiffo]

I've already registered discussgo.com (and variants). How about I just set them up to 301 redirect here? We can keep lifein19x19.com and you can tell people "just go to discuss go dot com" and it'll get them here.

[shapenaji]

Badaji would be a nice one...

And lets face it, this is a forum about go, which may be played on 9x9, 13x13 or 19x19, (or higher, should we wish to massacre those pesky computers)

EDIT: And I'm feeling exceptionally egotistical right now, but seeing as this forum site is occasionally the "other woman":

misshapen-aji.com

That was one of the funniest jokes I've heard in a while. But I'm a sucker for wordplay~

[shapenaji]

well, also:

mishapen aji = corrupted potential

ever wonder what we could have accomplished?

Don has transferred the history to Life in 19x19 and has said he is willing to transfer the domain name GoDiscusions. Personally I think GoDiscussions as a name is way clearer then Life in 19x19. It is easier, catchier and describes what is happening. Life in 19x19 is a more poetic name but to me it sounds more like a blog name.

Should we make a clean break and start anew or should we just see this as a new start for GoDiscussions?

.com is for commercial ventures. .org is or .net is better. Are either godiscussion.org or godiscussions.net available. That would be better. Don offer to transfer godiscussion.com so maybe tha tcan be redirected for some period of time.

But I definitely think the GoDisussions is the most appropriate name. GoPlayers.org sound more like a play about players. I registered GoPlayer.info at on point (because it was free) but let it drop. My thought had benn that if could have been a place for information about players but I never had the time to do anything with it.
