OK - pscates mentioned (in another thread -> link) about a new name for the site, since AppleInsider carries some baggage and also b/c of the similarity to the layout of the original AI.com ... not to mention the potential confusion amongst new users searching for info: "No, I saw it on AppleInsider.org, not .com".

Anyway, here's a thread where you can let fly with your suggestions for a new domain name.

There's no guarantee that it will be accepted - heck, I don't even know if the admins want one... but it could be fun to see what we all come up with.

with apologies to pscates for starting this thread in the first place without telling him I was going to do it

Well I guess I'm happy then.

A couple days ago, someone (I could check who, but I'm too lazy, and I'm trying to stay out of the revolution forum) suggested, inspired by the Fanta news site (thank you HOM, for those) "greenapple.com" I kind of like the idea for whatever reason. Sounds yummy I guess

That was ME!

I saw it on that Fanta thread and it struck me.

Looking at the suggestions above, I really like the "faction" one. A good triple-meaning, that one! Nice: fact, fiction and the word "faction" itself. Covers all the bases: news/info/discussion, rumors/speculation/mockups AND the forum/members themselves.

Good pull...gets my vote! Rolls off the tongue nicely too...AppleFaction. A good double-beat, repeated.

And I like a few of drewprops' ideas too, particularly the "confirmed" one. Anyone who's a true, loyal and devoted member should appreciate that one, silly as it is.

Again, all in fun...looks like the appleinsider name will be staying. This is just a back-up because you never know...

Why, we could even have a symbol too!
