I'm sorry. I know you already work hard for us.

But please choose for this crucial, possible, eventual name change:

Should we be:

1 SpecialReserve.net
2 SpecialDirect.com
3 RedSplat.com
4 SRDN.com (Special Reserve Discount Network)

There can only be one.

Note that we don't own SpecialReserve.com (it's in USA hands) and we don't own SpecialReserve.co.uk as it was registered by the bloke who runs Computer Exchange to stop us getting it.

I disagree. We already use all of them, and I reckon Special Reserve is a beaut name. Changing it to Special Direct just makes it sound like some tacky mail-order company that comes with Readers Digest.

Fair enough Tony. I can just remember the topic about choosing the name and, yes, I see your point about redsplat. Ok, well in that case my comment stands. If the name has to be changed then you might as well start with everything new, including using SpecialDirect.com as a url.

> I'm still not convinced about Special Direct as a name. Why did you choose that over something else Tony?


Choices are quite limited. I chose it because I think its the type of name which will grow on us, as against Redsplat.com which I think would be tiring.

Then I thought, if we use Special Direct then what would our caption be, and that's why there is a caption competition in the Sony Forum. If you see a name with a good caption, it suddenly takes on a new aspect.

I'll take a look at the captions to see if anything stands out.
