Thinking Aloud - Possible Forum Name Change?

[Marc J]

As most of you are probably aware, the directory part of the MDD hasn't been working for some time now and is no longer maintained. Other directory sites have moved in to "fill the gap" and so, in my opinion, it's not worth the time developing a new directory site when it may not get much use.

As part off the on-going improvements / fixes for the forum, I plan on perhaps (in no particular order): -

• Moving the forum to the "root" domain i.e. www.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk
• Installing an SSL for HTTPS on all pages (this can't easily be done on the www.forum.mobilediscodirectory.co.uk subdomain)
• Upgrading the forum software to XenForo, a much more modern and mobile-friendly system

All forum members and content will be preserved and, obviously, whatever happens there'll be redirects put in place so that members / search engines won't have a problem finding / re-indexing the final destination if it changes.

So, with that, I was thinking about a possible name change as the "directory" part doesn't really apply any more. I've put the alternatives in the poll - it'd be great if you could vote, and let me know what you think (good or bad) in this thread

If there is a name change, I'd prefer Mobile DJ Forum.

That sounds like you'd prefer no change, though?

[DJ Jules]

Sounds like a plan if you're willing to invest the time in doing it.

I'm indifferent about it, to be honest.

It's not much, time-wise. There's a bit of a cost if we go to XenForo but I don't mind taking the hit for that.

With the forum names, just be aware that www.mobiledjforums.com is still on the go, albeit nobody uses it.
