Does anyone really expect the owner of this site to give up a domain name that has been paid for and then purchase a new domain name. Then there is the problem of having all links at various sites changed. Also consider the members that come here but do so infrequently. How do you expect them to find the new site? It's possible to have a redirect to a new site, but the redirect doesn't go on forever and there is a cost associated with that. In conclusion consider the cost and problems a new domain name would cost before deciding that you want a new name for this site.

I knew this would cause big trouble.

You let a woman have her say and all hell breaks loose, typical! look at the mess you made now ggadmirer
Ila i think most of us know it would be virtually impossible to change the name of the site now, its so well established as transladyboy and no doubt alot of people like the name but some clearly dont.
I just thought it would be interesting to hear peoples thoughts on the name of our site, who likes it and who doesn't, who would change it if possible and what to, its just interesting to hear the various views.
Im not exactly what you would call politically correct (i hate that word) but i can see where ggamidmirer is comming from.
I dont think the title transladyboy accurately reflects the love and respect a lot of people on this forum feel for the "third sex" and a lot of the ladys and transgender girls might be put off by it and its such a shame more girls and tgirls aren't on the forum.
Having said that what would you replace it with.
Its just so difficult to know the right words to use when talking about transsexuals without offending someone and its too late anyway.
I think most things about this site are just right, we've got a great little community, lots of friendly tlovers, great pics and posts and very little bickering and bitching that you see on alot of other forums but the title ive always been a little uneasy about, then ive never really liked the phrase ladyboy (even though i do use it occasionally) as its used as a derogatory remark alot of the time.
Still nothing perfect.
Mabey we should have a poll on whether its a good idea to have a poll on changing the site name
Oh dear! I think our leader shemale sex lover is going to be livid with me

Sorry oh great one
