Board Name?

There had been a few people asking about using Colt Power, and although I don't think it's a registered trademark, it is still someone else's intellectual property. I found the option to let me change the URL of the board, so if we come up with a great name, I can change that (and someone can get working on a sweet banner!)

I was wondering if something could have been done with a banner. Nice job on the white background and the "blue trimming" of course. The other "look" was a bit foreboding. So far, so good. It would be nice to get the rest of the gang over here and we can forget about Scout once and for all.

Everyone should bug the stragglers in PM and just stop posting there. The rest will follow!

So we are looking for a new forum name? Is that right?

Yep. I like the Blue Thunder name, especially if it holds value to the group from before CP.

Maybe we can come up with a few ideas and have a poll? Wait, can you do polls on this board?

As I said on Scout...

As far as the name goes, I'm for sticking with ColtPower,Until such a time it is proved that someone owns the name besides us members.

Agree with Rabid.

I'm with Bodey and Rabid. Keep the name until someone makes an issue of it. I think Scout has completely forgotten about the Colts site.

I am fine keeping CP, but there are some things to consider:

1) I would put my money on Scout having obtained rights to the name in any selling ET did back in the day. Even if they didn't, what I know about copyright law (which isn't much, to be frank) makes me think that Scout could have a case against us anyway.

2) The people who run message boards are usually delete first, ask questions later. I would hate to get 20,000 posts in and then the board just be gone one day (which has happened to boards I have been a part of in the past).

That said, I will take all the names here and have a bracket of sorts to determine the winner. ColtPower will definitely be included.

What if we have a new name and come up with some way to acknowledge where we came from? That way people can find us and know who we are.

A few more (a little more reflective of our, and the Colts, changes):

newagecolts
moderncolts

And with bluvolution, is it available bluevolution? As in the evolution of our fan board and the Colts? Just some more ideas.

No. Some jackass squatter has bluevolution.com. I would have registered that name right away if it was available.
