If Doomworld had to change its name to something without the word "Doom" in the title, what would it be?

[Chezza]

If a company wanted to buy the domain, hypothetically how much do you think it's worth?

 

Waddb similar to modbb or is it taken?

bfgcentral maybe

 

[Tristan]

Slough of Despair.

[Ichor]

Lingworld, or Sausage Party.

[Empyre]

Some unpronounceable symbol that never existed before in any language. It would then be unofficially called "the site formerly known as Doomworld."

Cacoworld imo. Combined with the Cacoward brand, it'd be Cacoworld's Cacowards.

 

Or World of Cacos if you want to go cuter.

 

But yeah, cacos.

A few thoughts:

• It's not much use if your suggestion of xyz.com is already taken, and basically any other top level domain is off the table unless there's a very good reason to use it. By all means continue with your very clever jokes but do keep in mind that it's most helpful if it's also a legit suggestion.
• wadworld.com is the obvious one but it's already registered
• http://waddicted.com is lol but also maybe too cutesy / derivative of Quaddicted
• I also already own http://idtech.one from a prior instance of thinking about this

FreedoomWorld, now with more neon lights

Doomerworld??

[Empyre]

The fact that you want helpful suggestions implies that this is not hypothetical after all. Are they wanting the name for themselves, or are they protesting that your site about Doom has Doom in its name? Maybe DoomFan or DoomPlayer or Gerardo194's Doomerworld suggestion would be god enough for them even though they still have the word Doom in them because those names make it clear that you are not claiming to be an official site.

It is kind of tricky to make a name that is obviously about Doom without using the word Doom. I will think about it on the back burners of my mind as see if anything comes up.

I actually like the D!World suggestion as a retro reference :)

Im gonna go with Phobos Anomaly since it's a pretty iconic part of the game and also doesn't reference anything outside of the game.

 

Alternatively, Boomworld. Kick the ZDoomers and vanilla purists out reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I like referencing map names like Phobos Anomaly. Everyone interested in Doom will know what it is anyway. It may be just a  matter of finding out which mapname works best (ease of typing, length, uniqueness, etc.)

 

Or Episode names maybe:

 

Knee Deep (omitting in the death, since that‘d be a horribly long URL)

Shores of Hell

More thoughts:

• As I have stated in the past many times before, I do not own doomworld.com. It is "owned" by Fakename McFakerson as it has been for many years in the control of telefragged.com, our long time web host. My repeated attempts to contact the 2 people most likely to have the LEGAL POWER to transfer the domain name have been unsuccessful. The current state of affairs is that the domain registrar who administers doomworld.com is perfectly happy to continue taking my money to renew the domain in perpetuity, but they can not and will not allow me to own it or change it in any way, which means Doomworld is currently not capable of switching web hosts, or implementing Cloudflare or a similar content caching system. If something happens to Linode, Doomworld dies, end of story.
• "Doom" is a registered trademark of Bethesda etc etc. This will NEVER go away and NEVER change and the potential sword of Damocles of a trademark claim will always be there. This was somewhat less onerous when id Software was an independent game studio with an incredibly strong history of empowering its fans, and not owned by a notoriously cold and uncompromising corporation. It also means:
• I cannot sell merchandise or do anything of the sort to help fund this site or its potential development in any way that monetizes the NAME of the WEBSITE that I FOUNDED IN 1998.
• Marvel Studios has recently purchased the movie rights to a wide variety of Marvel properties they could not previously exploit, including the X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Dr. Doom. After 2019, when the Infinity War sequel is released, the first "cycle" of Marvel movies will be finished and a second one will begin, which is widely speculated to integrate the new intellectual properties that they now have access to. A recent story arc in the Marvel comics universe involved Dr. Doom stealing the vibranium supplies of Wakanda from Black Panther in pursuit of his perfect new world order officially called Doomworld. If this were ever to become important to Marvel Studios, I would instantly be turned into ash and die.
• The CW television show "Legends of Tomorrow," which is based off the DC Comics universe, had an episode last year called "Doomworld" based on the setting of the episode with the same name. If the CW or DC Comics decided that this was important to them, I would instantly be turned into ash and die.
• In short, Doomworld is not fully in control of its own destiny. As I have apparently decided to continue running this website for the rest of my life, this means that I would have to spend (an aspect of) my life not in control of my own destiny. Is that fair to me?
• Because I do not fully own doomworld.com that means I do not feel the full ownership interest, for good and for ill. That means I do not feel maximally motivated to fix lingering bugs or implement new features, because everything is on a website living a tenuous half-life. Is that fair to you?

Not the worst idea, but John Romero owns that... which... is... maybe... not... insurmountable....

What about iddqd.com? I think in context with the concerns you laid out earlier, it's a snappy retort. It appears to not be in use, but it may be getting camped on, which probably isn't much of an improvement. idtech.one is good too. 

 

Sorry about the shitheel post earlier. I didn't realize how serious the topic was until I read your post on the second page.
