*** IMPORTANT *** POSSIBLE NAME CHANGE FOR JABBASWORLD
I feel that we have out grown what was a very quickly thought of name that seemed quite amusing at the time.
I had no idea that we would last more than a few weeks...and of course here we are over a year later with over 18,000 registered members.
"Jabbasworld" is also very tricky to explain to a non internet type of person...for example telling someone in a Ferrari dealership the other day.....was a bit.... shall we say...."complicated".
It is also very difficult to launch the web shop due to copyright issues with the "Jabba" name....so when considering an alternate name...think of wearing it on a T-Shirt for example....
Thinking of a good name is one thing, thinking of a good name that has not been registered yet is another.
Here are my two suggestions :
www.themotormouth.net
www.thecarzoo.net
I would be much happier wearing a cap or having a sticker on the lambo with www.thecarzoo.net on it rather than www.jabbasworld.net on it...but then thats just me.

Well I don't mind explaining the name to others the best of my abilities, i can see the problems the name causes you and others, but for me it just wouldn't feel right under another name

I knew this idea was going to be about as popular as a rattle snake in a lucky dip.

hmmmm i don't know really, I kind of think it does make the site stand out more from the other car sites on the net... usually involiving the word fast or racing Like in real life the name makes you or something an individual. But hey i'm only one member of the community and if others have a different view i'll be happy to visit still whatever the name...... so long as you make sure jabbasworld.net redirects to the new name LOL I know i'll forget for ages

Yep that is an extremely good pont about the name...its very unique.
I hate all the other clone car sites...that all have similar names that lack "personality"

I thought of patosworld.net , but we would have to increase the capacity of the server .... hahaa
So for me JW is the best name , if you change it i guess some of the magic of the site would be gone , think of it as you pub where all your friends come to share with you , and other leechs come to ask you for free beers

I know I haven't posted much so my opinion probably means jack to you guys, but I've been around for a while and has sort of gotten use to the name and would feel sry if it changed... well considering the alternatives anyway but couldn't you like arrange a thread with name suggestions and have a vote over them, so it's like a mutual decision.
