Hi, everybody! One of the things I’ve been doing is working with an awesome designer to help refresh the site’s appearance. One feedback he has provided (and one others have echo’ed) over the years is to not have the “.com” in the name. That might have been cool and trendy in the 90’s when this site started, but it isn’t so anymore. Even Expedia doesn’t advertise the .com in their name anymore. So, I was wondering - what about just going with KIRUPA in all caps? What do you all think? I don’t think it is too far fetched. That already matches the all caps logo this site has had for a billion years: [https://www.kirupa.com/ssi/newDesign/kcom\_logo\_white.svg](https://www.kirupa.com/ssi/newDesign/kcom_logo_white.svg) Plus, absolutely nothing would change in terms of the URL or anything else. My AOL IM screen name is kirupacom, but I haven’t logged into it in a really long time! Cheers, Kirupa (sentence cased!) 😛 ---

This is like changing zombocom to just zombo. I rest my case. .com doesn’t add any information, but it’s certainly nostalgic. I’m sure anything you do will look good. ---

Sounds reasonable to me. Internally I just think of this site as “k” “i” “enter” because those are the keys I type in the address bar to get here. ---

It’s “f” “o” “enter” for me ---

I’ve been to the website [http://www.ki.com/](http://www.ki.com/) a lot purely due to being lazy about trying to get here. What about you TC? Does ‘f’ ‘o’ tend to lead you to any particular random site? ---

It hasn’t actually. [fo.com](http://fo.com) looks pretty boring…
