Last Chance — Top domain name: pauseforhelp.com. Speak now or forever hold your peace.

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 gaming.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 and Elevator Pitch / Tagline!"

Click here to contribute ideas and vote.

[original message text below]

Post your ideas for a dot-com domain name for this website, which captures the spirit and intent of the site, namely:

{name} is intended for expert and advanced gamers on all consoles and computers, including, but not limited to...

  • Windows PC
  • XBox and XBox 360
  • Playstation
  • Playstation Portable
  • Nintendo Wii
  • Nintendo DS

…

Please follow these guidelines:

  • Check to see if the domain is taken or squatted before making the name suggestion. Squatted and taken names, however clever, are not helpful. You can use whois.net to check availability.
  • Post one domain per answer. This makes the voting process much easier. If domains are very similar (e.g. "game" and "games"), they can be in the same answer.
  • Make sure the domain wasn't already suggested. To search within this question, use a search query such as: inquestion:1 "example.com" replacing example.com with the domain to search for.
  • When coming back to this question, make sure to sort the answers "newest first", as to not miss new proposals.

    @Robert - I posted the information as an answer because I couldn't edit the question - it's not Community Wiki

  • What happens when someone comes along and squats the best answers to this question? I don't think this is a good idea...

    Also, we are still in private beta. One would hope that we'll have decided on an answer before open.

    Aw, all the ones I wanted to suggest are registered. Does it have to be .com and not .net? Anyway, since they're taken but to get them off my chest anyway: killscreen.com, pausescreen.com, heylisten.com

    @Matt: I had thought of killscreen.com as well, and was very bummed to see it unavailable. It would certainly fit with the "failure" theme started by Stack Overflow and Server Fault.

    HeyListen would have been awesome. I just raided TVtropes for a few gaming trope suggestions, for a moment it was looking like all of them had been squatted though.

    What point is there in downvoting suggestions you don't like? Just upvote the ones you do like... yikes!

    @antony - that's a problem. I started a meta suggestion on this: meta.stackexchange.com/questions/56904/…

    -1: placeholder.com is taken, and it's also not gaming related. (yes, that was a joke.)

    sorry, maybe I'm slow, but what's the point of having "a link to link to the 0 vote answers"?

  • @Pop: Uhm, I wanted to leave a comment on the question explaining that, but either it got noise-flagged or I forgot (which is more likely...). The intention was being able to easily find suggestions that have not been voted on yet, whereas sorting by votes and jumping to the last site will jump to the downvoted ones.
