[MIK3]

very nice keefe...sounds profesional in a way!  Nice ring to it and I am surprised that that name is not already taken...now that name is gonna be for both Netsmog and HardwarePub right??

[vee_ess]

Yeah, I like that name too, very professional, yet contemporary...You can get not only TechwareLabs.com, but also TechwareLabs.info, TechwareLabs.net, & TechwareLabs.us and they are all open!

[MIK3]

yes that is true...but .com addresses are most common amongst general ppl on the net...so id hafta stick w/ .com and once it becomes popular...which i know it will..then we can convert to like .info or .net if yall wanna!  

TechwareLabs, seem looks like a lab checking on mobos and etc.. let's see how about TechWarePCMods? "Tech Ware for PC Mods"

[MIK3]

good idea keefe i like it and i hope that you stick w/ it!  Good luck on creating it...will NS totally change as well or will it only be HardwarePub? Also...updates us on when u plan on creating the site as well as reviews if u can...thanks!

Well, my 2 cents on the topic is that you should try to stick with a short name,  like two syllables, no one likes to type in a long-ass name. If you could remember it to start with.
The name " netsmog" was a good one, as it had only two syllables, was short and easy to type and remember. The name should somewhat reflect what you can do. There are 'techs' here to solve problems.

Savages and Wizbones posts had some like that.  Neither would I tie it down to one thing such as mods - actually not that many computer owners mod their machines, but thay all have computer problems of a sort. names like :

Actiontechs,
Supertechs,
Advancedtechs
Avidtechs,
Awaretechs,
Best-techs
Etc,

Don't overlook your position on the search engines, with displays of alphabetical listings, guess who is first ?
Also don't be in a hurry to saddle yourself with a name that could very easy be the forums demise.

Good advice, take it or leave it, doesn't make a hoot to me.

The search engine results will be up there.  

Also, with the alphabetical listings, you can always get alphatech.com or sumtin and just forward to the real thing!
