    question about joining

    I am currently going through the planning and business stage of opening up a new gaming center.  I was planning on signing up as an honorary member to get access to everything, but i don't have a company name yet. I wanted to make sure it was okay to just put something down for now and if i can change it later.  Also, any suggestions ? Big Smile

    Re: question about joining

    as I understand (others will chime is if I am incorrect), you can join before all the details of your business are decided and then make changes as needed. You may have to put *something* down for now, but that doesn't mean it's set in stone.

    Do as extensive a search as you can for the names you like to see if any other centers have them already, or something too close to it. Since your website will probably be an important part of the business, see if the domain names are taken as well. A word of caution though: some domain providers alert their software to register names that get searched a lot in the hopes of squatting. If you see something you like and it's available, don't wait too long to register it.

    Re: question about joining

    The igames folks can answer about changing the name.  I think you can e-mail membership@igames.org for faster response.

    However I enjoy a naming challenge, so here are some available domains:

    beepyhollow.com

    bringitdigital.com

    gametilyoudrop.com

    fragsandflags.com

    digitaldingy.com

    cyberpanthers.com

    mooseclix.com

    fragbaby.com

    lanwanthankyoumam.com

    lighteninglounge.com

    bighousegaming.com

    gofragwin.com

    noobsolutions.com

    digitsdojo.com

    scrimmasters.com

    knightsofcyberspace.com

    LanLizards:

    This has "win" written all over it.  Would suck to get that done in neon though.

    Yes, you can change your nam at anytime.  For fun I think you should start with LAN War Thank You Man.  :)  Its a clear winner.

    Think about the keywords a potential customer will use to find you on the net, then incorporate some of those words into your name and the url you purchase.  Like many gamers find centers by searching for lan center that is why so many are named X LAN center.
