How many xen domains have you registered?

[PixelFX]

In anticipation for xenForo to come out, how many or what domains have you guys registered. To build future xen plugins/mods/other and or even fan sites?

 

[Peggy]

Got one so no-one else could. Don't intend on using it, though I may.

Why'd you get it if you're not intending to use it? Just so no one else could use it?

 

[Peggy]

I'd get 2 if I had the $, but don't so can't.

Send me a PM with which you're interested in.

Just bought XenAddict.com. Not sure what, if anything, I'm going to do with it.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

I have:

• xenforomod.com
• xenforostyle.com
• generationxenforo.com

Antony, XenForo is trademarked/copyrighted. I don't think using it in a domain name is immune from litigation. Better something more generic like Xen.

 

[FreshFroot]

No offense, but I think everyone is wasting money. That is unless they plan to make a customized mod and even then your taking a huge risk at it.

I'd rather see the community here have a mods section instead of a new xenforo.net org etc... Keep it all in one area instead of making various sites and what not.

I love having everything in one area, than having to go to one site for a design another for a mod etc.. etc..

I think that's the plan Kier and Mike have in mind.

I hope so, I know they learned a lot of positives and negatives from vBulletin. So I guess they will implement what they learned. I have a good feeling about the future here. Can't wait for it!

That all depends on whether Mike and Kier plan on going all anal like vbulletin did which killed their third party outlets, thus promoting their product on their behalf. I should say IB, as it was that point all the trademark infringements went out, thus killing off the majority of their third party industry.

Thats still ok... they are not in use. If it comes to me using them, I would be seeking permission from them regardless, just to make sure. I have lots of domains that redirect elsewhere already, so adding more to the equation is not an issue thankfully.

I was simply pointing out that they are likely to crack down on it should any domain come up with that full name, which is why I quoted your post.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

I do appreciate you pointing out their standing on it. I do remember reading that now you highlighted it again. Thanks... and always appreciated.

 

[MilesDB]

If you registered them less than 3 days ago you can ask for a full refund. That's how GoDaddy.com works.

 

[Anthony Parsons]

Na... there are still vbulletin domains running, you just need have permission to use it.

The only one I may venture towards later in time is generationxenforo.com, though I also have generationxen.com and xengeneration.com... depending on what I can use legally, what fits best, what I may have to use, at the time.

You can get permission from the trademark providers to use the name in a domain, which vbulletin allowed for a long time which certainly helped build them to who they are today, and still allow a few to use it who have permission. I couldn't imagine why xenforo would not approve people to use it on a case by case basis, as it would assist to build their brand providing the site was reputable / quality in nature to their brand. Xenforo themselves are the only deciders of that though... the worst they can ever say to anyone is no.

The sad part though is that even if he were to do that then somebody else would just grab them who may or may not respect the "XenForo" trademark nor the wishes of the XF team.

Personally I'd rather see those types of URLs redirected towards an actual site instead of being left out there to be grabbed by the squatters who try to cash in on the name and throw up commission link pages.

 

[Mikey]

Why'd you get it if you're not intending to use it? Just so no one else could use it?

I don't have immediate plans for the url, and I may not even use it at all, I got it 'Just in case'.

 

[Lucas]

True, having merged system like vs split like vb.com and vbulletin.org would be good. However depends on if the rules here allow for a section with commercial mods vs free mods. Or even how anything like that would even work.



Watches as Kevin formulates xenArcade

Actually it was already discussed in a thread in the OffTopic discussion. I think that Peggy mentioned Kier saying that they are planning on creating and allowing all type of modding/community development in this same forum. But we shall see.
