Is it a rebrand? Sounds like just matching the sign on the door to match what's inside. :)

Snap it up before the Namor or Aquaman rage-a-holics grab it.

Yep. Works for me. Way easier to type and to remember.

I know who Namor & Aquaman are, but I don't get the reference.

The reason I was entertaining this was that budgetauthenticity.org domain was registered for a site concept where I was going to work up tricks & tutorials on how to do period clothing on a shoestring budget. I ended up pouring that energy into other projects, and have realized that I will probably never do that site. As a domain it makes no particular sense to the mission of this site.

I could be mistaken but I believe it's a bottom feeder reference.

"mer" ranger, I think rather.

personally, I cant help but read the domain as "me ranger" ( you jane )... but I still like it. :)

Anyhow..renaming is a good idea i think.
.. I wonder if we might want broaden it a bit for the RA and Ember folks. "fantasy ranger" or suchlike?

Fantasy ranger, though correct in name, I think might not quite draw the right crowd.

As for the rebrand, I wouldn't mind it, though I'd prefer .org to be honest.

I am quoting this because it bears repeating, and might just be the best post so far.

And yeah, I agree .org is the win.
