Before I post, I must admit that I have not read all the previous pages =/ I am with a sh!tload of stuff to do and I cant read all of the threads unfortunatelly.

When I first read the thread name, I couldnt believe my eyes. Never saw this coming. After reading your post, Jabba, I agree that the copyright stuff is a BIG letdown. I would love to have some merchandize that is directly connected to the place I spent the mos time in on Internet. I remember when you tried to do the shop and it was kind of a sad event hearing that we couldnt have the stickers.

There are good things and bad things about changing name. I think, though, that changing has more of an advantage. The only reason I like the current name, is because of its history... because this is what we started with. But for the good part of a change, we can buy merchandise with the sites name.

I would vote for a name change because that way, not only will we be able to have the merchandize, but I will be able to create new photoshops for the banner with the new address since, as you know, all my .PSD files were lost due to my computer hard drive failure. So if the name IS changed, I can start from scratch and this time backup the .PSD files.

See what i mean?
In that case we may as well just re-name JW then...and we dont want that.

I want to take on www.ferrarichat.com as IMO that is one of the best Ferrari resources on the net...but I know we can do much better.
Yeah come to think of it that wouldn't be to smart, but i like the branching off the site though.

maybe?

I like the name Jabbasworld. I haven't had a problem explaining it to people, but I suppose it's misleading somewhat. I'd prefer that it not change because I've grown accustomed to it. And besides, its rather unique to have a car site with a name that's not related to cars in anyway.

Howabout this one: www.cargasm.net , but that would also be difficult to explain and probably not suitable on the back of the Diablo.
