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.

    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.

Maybe it's not the best idea, just trying to get more ideas going. Keeping with the failure theme of StackOverflow and ServerFault, what about: (?)

MissingNo.com

Its short for "Missing number", a glitch in the original Pokemon games. Link.

["MissingNo." appears] when the game attempts to access data for a nonexistent Pokémon species.

Eh, I'm tryin' here. A glitch/screw-up, but then it's also, eh hem, "what appears in the absence of any other data".

-2

StackOfDoom.com

May be too TBS specific (or even civ specific), but just throwing out ideas.

-2

howdoimovethepaddleinpong.com

Another bad idea I had to put out.

-2

wizardneedsfoodbadly.com

It's squatted but not really used, and Joel just said, I quote:

"(1) if the domain is actively being used for something legit, it's probably not for sale. Don't even suggest it. (2) if the domain has a squatter on it, it's probably for sale. It may be super expensive or it may be $100. If you think it's a good domain, suggest it. (3) When you vote, vote SOLELY based on what you think an awesome name would be, without regard to availability."

I'm just not sure how many people will get the gauntlet reference.
