I think it's easiest to change our domain name, especially if we can keep the "board77" part.

Good question. I did a search, and it looks like he covered .com, .org, and .net. link to post

I also found this on the same page:

Well Lidless, let me know if you ever want to file for trademark protection for the term BOARD77.

That will make it easier to go after cybersquatters of Board77 or anyone else using BOARD77 or B77, or other variants, for example. It's amazing what a letter on law firm letterhead will do! Or that doesn't do the trick, ICANN has a nifty thing called the Uniform Domain Name Dispute Resolution Policy (UDRP), which enables people with valid rights to a mark (i.e., a term) to take a domain name with that term away from cybersquatters.

p.s. I'm a U.S. patent/trademark attorney and am NOT trying to solicit. :)
Something we should pursue? All things being equal, I'd prefer to hang on to our old name.

We can't transfer the domain? That's not cool.

Either way, I don't really mind whatever we do. I've never really been able to take part in running of the board due to real life stuff, so I'll go with whatever everyone else thinks is best.
