View Full Version : Pick a final site name. [Everyone please VOTE!]
Which would you brand this site as?
The sub head would read:
"The ultimate resource for Legacy enthusiasts."
edit:
I also just registered LegacyGT.com. Now how did that slip by me?

How about LegacyGT.com? Somehow I can't pick from those above. LegacySTi is speculation, B4 is only describing sedans, Spec-B we don't have, B4, again sedans, BetterBoxer is um, not my style, and Legacy Community is sort of bland IMO.
Just my take.
www.legacytouring.com looks to be available too. *shrug*
This is an international site, so Spec-B.com is perfectly valid.

I second Spec-B.com, it does have a nice ring to it.
Which ones are best for new owners googling to find out more about their car?
Top Google search is "subaru legacy forum" which we're #1 position. Im not sure its much better than that. The name isn't important for Google, as they search the data on the page.

Not to quibble, but we don't have a Spec B in the USDM, and this IS a USDM-based site. IMHO, Spec B would be posing. I'm with Sube on this one.
Of course, I don't see anything wrong with the current name.

I like LegacySTI myself. It gives us something to hope for and look forward to.
While this site is certainly slanted towards USDM, I'd like to think its has many international visitors and that we'll be pretty able to be of great help to those who do tend to get nicer Legacy's than we do.
Plus its a solid message to Subaru that the US wants and its ready for the Spec-B Legacy.

That is a good point made Tide.
If everyone takes a look at the Gear Ratios thread in 2.5GT Tech, you will see how the tires and gear ratios work themselves out. Spec B isn't all that different from the numbers.

Sorry, but naming a web board after a car does about as much to bring that car to fruition as clicking your heels together and saying "There's nothing like a Spec B...there's nothing like a Spec B."
The most effective way to ensure that future, hotted-up Legacies will show up is to buy Legacy GTs. Period.
I stand by the "posing" assessment of Spec B.com, or any permutations thereof, but I am the acknowledged curmudgeon/realist of the group.

It's not just 'naming a web board'. What I'm looking at is building a branded community to last the next 5-10, etc, years. That includes a bit of optimism ...
That being said, everyone here has a voice and the whichever was the community votes, we shall go!!!
:) :)
Also isn't specB supposed to the 'top of the range' or enthusiasts JDM car, so why not have a top of the range/enthusiasts site

Hey, gtguy... if you start a "curmudgeon" thread, I'll be sure to join. :) (good word usage BTW).
Legacysti.com works for me. Like someone has posted elsewhere, I can type it in my sleep. I know I can post it in my wife's sleep. Sometimes I type too loudly and she wakes up and threatens me with bodily harm if I don't go to sleep. :lol:
FYI, I just registered LegacyGT.com

I'm with Seth and Kev on this one. I don't think the Spec-B, or B4, or STi urls are very reflective of the site. What's in a name? More than you think.
Needless to say I voted for LegacyGT.com. :D

Drift this isn't the place to go OT, Tide is trying to get serious input regarding the name of this site.
There are old threads where various memebers talk a little politics....

I don't really care what the name is- I'm happy with it as is and wouldn't care if it were changed, as long as it's still the same people and useful info- this is a very good community- hopefully it will remain that way.

I second the motion that this is a great forum to interact with.
I would think a dual setup with LegacySTi.com and LegacyGT.com would be best. have one url re-direct to the other, and have the one site cater to all legacy fans and enthusiasts. GT might be the more applicable one now, but hopefully not for long... I like LegacySTi, and I am hoping Subaru will validate our URL for us... :D
I voted for legacyGT.com, because more people might be inclined to walk in off the net, if they have a GT, or have seen one, and like it.
Spec-b, b4, and the like are quite JDM, and while Japanese drivers, and enthusiasts around the world might know what that means, I would venture a guess that most N00bs outside of Japan probably won't make the connection.

I picked LegacyB4.com so not to seemingly exclude 2.5i (normally aspirated) owners
Even though it's a bit wordy, I wish subarulegacy.com was available. Some squatter picked it up though. http://www.inat.org/Images/Smilies/angryfire.gif
I just went with LegacyGT.com

.02: Part of me thinks that legacysti.com will be better advertising for some of our interests in which direction Subaru should go.....
We'll make the move officially in Sept to LegacyGT.com. Stickers and license plate frames have already shipped. :)

Sorry Guys, have been away on business the past few days so a bit behind the eightball here. The site name at the end of the day has to be reconised by all comers, meaning that for the site to grow, ppl have to be able to put Legacy or Subaru into a search engine and up we come. LegacySTi certainly drew me to this site as 1. I wanted to know more about Legacy/Liberties and 2. I wanted to know more about LegacySTi so it had me won, but it was easy to search and it was listed high on the search results.

Chad, you can actually have both sites registered as in LegacyGT.com & LegacySTi and have them as mirror sites so that they point to eachother. This could be a quick, cheap and simple fix.

They are linked to each other but if you notice, the pages are all linked to legacysti.com but I believe Chad wants to make everything link to legacygt.com.
