Note:

We are closing this domain naming thread. It is asking the entirely wrong question. See this blog post for details: Domain Names: Wrong Question

We're going to keep the name rpg.stackexchange.com. But we WILL be setting up redirects from the more "popular" domains names. (e.g. seasonedadvice.com to cooking.stackexchange.com, basicallymoney.com to money.stackexchange.com, and others as we go through the list).

New question: "Write an Elevator Pitch / Tagline!"

Domain name suggestions? Please only put one domain name per answer, so we can vote on them.

Can you please indicate if your suggestion is available or taken. Check here.

  • \$\begingroup\$ discussing domain names will most likely end with some annoying person buying the agreed one just to be a jerk. I hope it doesn't happen, but I feel it would be better the brainstorming is done through a different mean with selected people (chosen by the diamond users) \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @RMorrisey why remove names already taken? There's a number of domains that are being squatted, so if it fits our needs better it may be possible to still get it. Take a look at the post about domain names: blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/07/domain-names \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ I think the name should sound useful and practical as a source of information first, funny or in-joke-laden second. For that, the domain name should be self-explanatory or nearly so. Something like askroleplayers.com (which I've suggested). \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @MadMaxJr - It looks like some initiative has been taken based on this thread: askthetable.com and stackofdice.com have both been purchased by Stack Overflow Internet Services, Inc. Perhaps a mod should close this and open a tie-breaker question? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ @C. Ross @Bryant - Looks like there will be no domain name after all: see Public Service Announcement: ongoing, offsite discussion about Area51 graduates' branding Anyone else find it a little sketch that that decision was made after buying the domains we voted on? \$\endgroup\$

Available. Has a double-entendre, playing on "stack exchange" and on "stacking the deck" in favour of a better game. Though, I think a better variation on that double-entendre can probably be done. Someone do it!

Saving Throw (savingthrow.com). Pleasingly like "Stack Overflow" etc. Taken but being used by a 17 year old on his blog, I imagine the SE guys could bribe him easily :-)
