View Full Version : Should this site have changed its name?

Most sites lose their appeal when things change either too soon or too often. People hear about a site, check it out, and learn the sites name, then suddenly they are told to change everything. THis is why other O&A R&F related sites have had bad luck (Frrrrrrunkis, for example) Just wanted to state my opinion, knowing it will have little effect on those in charge of the site, but maybe if they listen to the people who help MAKE their site, they will consider others opinions for future changes. Hope this site continues for a while

Tell me why the name of the site is such a distraction for you. I really can't fathom the logic behind this thread, but I'll give you a post or 2 to prove to me there is some.

i tried typing in the new name and I get that error screen and need to type the original name anyway. I fear that soon both addresses won't work and the site will be dead. I still say it was a stupid idea changing the name. If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

marketing 101 suggests changing the name so soon after the initial launch is a bad move, however if the change is done early enough and thus re-pushed with references / plugs / callers mentioning it on both shows then the damage can be minimized to a degree where it wont matter

and i always revert back to being the literary nerd that i am... Iambicpantameter turns me on and thus here's my opinion on the name change:

Juliet:
O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love
And I'll no longer be a Capulet.

Romeo:
[Aside] Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?

Juliet:
'Tis but thy name that is my enemy:
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague.
What's Montague? It is nor hand nor foot,
Nor arm nor face, nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet;
So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call'd,
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name,
and for thy name, which is no part of thee,
Take all myself.

a name is just a name, it will not change the reason for the site even being in existence, if you like the site, you will continue to come here whether or not the name is xmRadoGold or RadoGoldFans or IHeartRadioGold or any other idea.

why quote something that is lesser known to the majority when the greatest of the great is easily accessible for use at our disposal? Plus, the point is simple. A name is a name, the site is still the same, the people are still here. If you are a supporter you would suck it in, deal with the name change and continue to support.

Also, ever stop to think of what could be the Reason for the XM having been taken out of the title and the URL? Business laws are brutal. Its a fact of life

Believe me I am not thinking you are bitchy, and yo don't have to explain the reasons to me why XM is a problem. I am just saying, I don't really consider it geeky to quote common knowledge literature.

I do think a name change is necessary, I just think this name might hurt exposure. It is a little generalized and hard to remember, that is just my opinion.

Both names point here. It was done recent, so it is possible that the new name has not propagated to all the DNS servers in the world. This usually takes up to 48 hours but I have seen it take longer. It is possible some people can only connect with the old name currently.

We will leave both names redirected for the time being.
