MeetFighters News

Summary: The site's name is changing from AllFighters.info to MeetFighters.com soon.

AllFighters.info is a fine name, and served us well for 3 and a half years. The reasons for change are:

• The .info TLD is not well-known and .com is preferred.
• There is an allfighters.com site that is unaffiliated with us.

Why MeetFighters?

I wanted a name that:

• Is available.
• Ends with .com
• Similar to the old name somehow
• At most two words
• Doesn't have the word "global" in it. :)

There were some great ideas proposed by members, most of them failing the first criteria.

• totalfighters.com was suggested, and I think it's the best name. Unfortunately there is a totalfight.com site, and the two names are too similar for comfort.
• wordwidefighters.com is also good. It's three words and a bit too long.
• worldofgrapplers.com was also a good contender, again it's three words and longish.
• Countless other brilliant names were suggested that were unfortunately unavailable.

In the end, MeetFighters.com expresses what the site is about and is familiar enough.

When?

Sometime in July 2012.

Is anything else changing?

I am working on a new site design, hoping to improve both the look and the feel of the site.

Other than that, the site will be same as before.

What will I need to do?

Nothing. Once the new site is live, the old site will simply redirect you to it.
