I voted for using neocolours in the name, but actually I don't really care. I'd just like to get back to a top result when you put "neocolours" in google.
Someone suggested neonc.net before, and I think it's kinda nifty. It's like...neoneocolours. Or...neo neocolours community...or neo notorious crazies...or I don't know. That's my two cents.
But honestly, whatever the name is, we're still going to be neocolours. I'd just prefer to not change our name too much...as nifty as names like neocanvas are, I don't want to lose our identity entirely.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly get it.AngharadTy wrote:We'll still BE Neocolours, we just might not need it after the whole http deal. I don't think everyone quite gets that. ^_~
Doesn't make me like thenc any more as a URL.
However, I absolutely and without question vote against "The Neopian Canvas." Not that it's a bad name. It's a very nice name, in fact. But we're Neocolours.
.info is heavily associated with spam. There's a reason why it's so cheap - sales aren't going to well to a point where I've heard of at least one case of a domain being given away.
.info is a theoretical possibility, yes, but expect it to be avoided as well due to the spam issue and people's reluctance to visit because of that.

What exactly do you mean? If we're not using a hosting plan, who would be sending the spam? If no actual spam is being sent, then why would there be anymore problems than with any other address? I mean, I can't exactly imagine people refusing to visit the site because of the .info if we aren't actually full of spyware and spamming their emails.
Most of the .info domains refer to spam sites. Whenever people find a .info site in email, they much sooner assume that it is spam - in fact, I believe that many anti-spam services assign a higher spam score to an email, solely due to it coming from or linking to a .info domain. I know for sure that SpamAssassin does.
Looking at that - if you want even more problems because of our email being blocked at spam - you know, those that retrieve passwords and so on - sure, go for a .info domain. If you, however, want to help people receive them, do not go for a .info domain. It'll be a nightmare from a maintenance point of view alone.

I, personally, would go with "neocolours" and the original neocolours.something. This site and forums are known as neocolours, people would come back to it. TNT would know who we were rather than think we're complete new people.
However, if the previous owner of neocolours has some kind of copywrite over the name then I don't see how we'd be able to use it. I would jsut check into that. I would go with neocolours.blah until we found out we legally could not, and at that point I would worry about going with thenc.blah or whatever other choice we have. Otherwise, stick to what we're known as and loved for.
