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

Though I agree with most of what you said about proforum being a good name, the dot com, dot net, and dot org for that domain name are already taken.

Dot com was registered in 1998 and would require a $69.95 fee for an attempt to purchase it and that only covers the evaluation and attempt, not the purchase price itself.

Dot net is owned by Linux redhat and the dot org domain name is for sale through a broker for $788.00 which leads me to believe that the dot com would cost a whole lot more. So, although it sounds like a viable alternative, as you said there is a problem with obtaining the domain names.

Naudefj thought firefly was a cool name and since naudefj is and has been doing the lion's share of the forums development, I trust his judgment.

That doesn't mean firefly has to be the name, the action I took was to guarantee the domain name would be available, if it was selected.

I also liked "Myforum" since FUDforum starts out titled My forum, my way! Yet once again those domains are taken.
