    I want to start a forum about building links, traffic, domain names and so fourth, but I'm not sure on the domain name to use. I want to use something that I already have, but I certainly don't mind getting a new name.

    from a marketing standpoint is a shorter name or catchy name better? I think short and catchy is best.

    I have narrowed my choices to these domains, what do you think would be better? Do these all suck and I should go reg a new name.

    playboxx.com
    guardhound.com
    ec5.org
    dk99.com
    coralation.com
    rancidapple.com
    checkmyhead.com

    Please, your honest opinion, which would you go to? I put a poll at the top, but I am very interested in your written responses also.

    Agree. And there are some possibilities to work out a brand name... something like "electronic5" or sth... Definitely best amongst other available here.

    checkmyhead is pretty brandable and is somewhat creative

    playboxx.com is the best of those choices, but that's not saying much.

    I know, Im not that excited with any of them myself. I like ec5.org but I noticed quite a few people put .com - I wonder if that is something that would happen often.

    hehe, go ahead, sign up and get your own blog maybe cornstalk.checkmyhead.com

    I just added digg capability to the blogs, so I think it is going to get more popular quick.

    Even though it is on the list, I am not sure I want to do a forum there, I really like how it is setup now, and maybe a forum would be too much for it.

    Frankly I think they all suck [gotta admire my honesty!]
    I think you should go reg a new domain with the word FORUM in it, seeing as that's what you want to use it for.
