I liked someones suggestion of PROforum, its catchy, sounds PROfessional, and evokes a positive image: ie PRO meaning something or someone who is top of their game or does something to very high stadards which FUD does.

There is also another tie in back to Ilia since his hosting related company was PROhost, so it makes sense PROforum runs best on PROhost. Cool

As for previous market recognition, it is easy to add a tag line saying: formerly known as FUDforum, this ties in your old established base and name recognition but doesn't take away from the user that newely discovers you.

I think the new name could help in general market adoption as well, as there is a certain pride in saying 'we are running PROforum' vs FUD forum, what does it mean. You may also leverage teh human nature when hearing PROforum, they go oh ya that sounds familiar, I think I have heard of that.

Thats my 2 cents worth, I know that in the past people in my organization have suggested we switch to other more common forum names like vBulletin, but I happen to think FUD or PRO is one of the best!

I did a quick search for PROforum and didn't find anything significant as a competitor that already had this name in use, but getting the domain PROfurom could be a whole other animal Surprised
