jimdahl Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I'm cutting siouxsports.com, including the forum, over to a new server tonight. The transition is gradual over the course of up to a day or so, so there could be some weirdness as some people are on the old one and some on the new one. I'll keep an eye on things and hopefully all will be well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can now update the Wiki front page but when I go to the specific page ( 2018 FB Recruiting, for example), the third tab is "Show Pagesource" rather than "Edit This Page". It won't let me do anything. Thanks for looking into this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 After testing the waters 2 years ago (and reserving quite a few candidates), then debating with a few different groups of friends and supporters last Fall, I was actually just pondering a site name change this Summer. The problem still is that Hawks is such a common team name that all the really obvious Hawks-based domain names are in use. As a prize for reading an obscure thread in the admin forum, I'll let you in on some leading candidates... ndhawktalk.com was a leading favorite a couple years ago among people who wanted a more generic ND/UND association, and liked the rhyme. The primary complaint is that it's awkward to say (4 syllables). hawksperch.com is emerging this year as a leader among people who want a short, memorable name. The only real complaints about this one are that perch is sort of a funny word (and, sometimes, a fish). I have a dozen or so other candidates that most deem inferior to those two (e.g. once you get "fighting" in there, they become pretty unwieldy).

jimdahl Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 As I mentioned above, "Hawks" is such a common (generic) name that all the best variations are taken. hawksnest.com, for example, is taken. hawksperch.com is as close as we've been able to get.

FGHTNSX Hawkey14 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I think something with just North Dakota is best. As said previously, Hawks is generic, and all of the available names related sound kinda dumb. It would appeal (or at least not appall) fans of the Hawks name, Fans of no nickname (kinda me), fence sitters (also me), and also the militant Sioux forever type (me to a lesser extent).

I have some close--undhawksfans, undhawksports, undhawkstalk. Believe me, I've been testing these names on people for years. No one agrees, which is why I still haven't done anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
