fyi, i've bolded all the proposed names that got stars. makes some of the long posts in the sidebar easier to read, you don't have to search for the name
if that's a problem for anyone (i don't think it is) let me know
gamehack.com, as opposed to gamehaq (i really hate the q thing)
Agreed. Easier it is to remember and tell people about the better . I know i hate telling people to go to gaming.stackexchange because it is long and easy to forget or mangle
Frankly I'd like to see gaming keeping the stackexchange branding, which has a lot of kudos and respect. To that end, I'd suggest "GSX" on gsx.stackexchange.com. It's a short, snappy name to refer to the site by, but doesn't throw away all that kudos. And it sounds "gamery" for whatever that's worth. No-one really worries what IGN stands for, do they? People still know it's a game site.
