jimdahl Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 (edited) I guess it's time.Though I have a few in my pocket, let me start by soliciting ideas from the community. BUT, you want to do this right so the name is actually available to us:1) Only suggest domain names that are available. You're not getting fightinghawksports.com, someone else did. I recommend searching here: http://www.internic.net/whois.html (if it returns a result, it's taken -- e.g. http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=siouxsports.com&type=domain ; if it says no match, it's available -- e.g. http://reports.internic.net/cgi/whois?whois_nic=xxsjelfkjsdlfakjdsf&type=domain )2) Make any such suggestions to me via private message. If you post something here, someone else could buy it.

ericpnelson Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Will siouxsports.com redirect to the new site, so I can silently protest like I do by making fightingsioux.com redirect to undsports.com for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Just call up Mayor Hawk and see if there is anything he hasn't registered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Oh, and if anyone is looking for some Roughrider-related domain names, I can let them go cheap. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiouxFanatic Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 Are you strictly only wanting to use a .com domain name? Could easily snatch up a .co domain... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 A few people have posted suggestions in the thread, so I'm hiding those as they occur, but I am still getting them!As I said above, better to PM me so someone else doesn't see your idea and buy it.

jimdahl Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Are you strictly only wanting to use a .com domain name? Could easily snatch up a .co domain....com is preferred, but not a requirement..co would worry me that it's so close that a lot of people would mess up and go to the .com instead. I could see other non-.com top level domains working, though. But, I also think we're likely to find a .com that we like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 (edited) I like SiouxSports.com...Already got that one I'll repeat something I said in a different thread...Not changing anything right now, the only reason I'm talking about it now is to lock in domain names (which will become scarcer now that the final name is known).If the day comes that UND students or new fans are likely to search for "Fighting Hawks message board" or "Fighting Hawks football", I want to be ready.

KSSioux Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I see no need to change the name of the site. It is not affiliated with the school, so there is no issue, and it fits the historical aspect of continuation of the name. You could have a blurb below the title to state that it is about the UND Fighting Hawks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let'sGoHawks! Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 How about user names? I would like to change my name to "Let'sGoHawks!" Is there a process for this other than just signing up with a new name? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yababy8 Posted December 3, 2015 Share Posted December 3, 2015 (edited) Already got that one I'll repeat something I said in a different thread...you're a good man Jim Dahl!Hopefully others will awake one day and realize what you have, that the reach of the NCAA goes no further than the sidelines of the sports surfaces of NCAA Universities.As I say, a nickname is what we choose to collectively call ourselves. Your respect for the preponderance of North Dakota fans who fancy themselves Sioux fans is well placed in my humble opinion.It's too bad your web site is so tanted by the shills and the sheep that follow them...I guess it was an obvious target from the beginning...Go Sioux!!

dakotadan Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I say that you go for a UND/NoDak/North Dakota name theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdahl Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 I say that you go for a UND/NoDak/North Dakota name theme. Yeah, I already have a few of those locked up from when I thought I might make a change back in the no-nickname days. Definitely a possibility if people stick to calling us "North Dakota" more than "Fighting Hawks". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
