Semi-importantish: Need some feedback on an idea.
So I've been working on a new feature that will allow you to default between different games by switching subdomains, for example. dota.tf2outpost.com and p2.tf2outpost.com. However, this has it's issues. Firstly, it isn't "tf2outpost" when you stick dota in front, it just doesn't sound right. So I'm proposing a rebrand of TF2 Outpost to simply Outpost.

This means that I have to get new domains to match this new brand. I've been searching for possible domains for a while now and have come up with a list of potentials. Here's a list:

- outpost.gg
- outpost.tf
- outpost.io (already registered, may not be obtainable)
- outpost.co (already registered, may not be obtainable)

I'd like you guys to take a few seconds to vote here: http://poll.pollcode.com/o3n6k3

I know that outpost.tf doesn't break the whole "tf2" theme, but it's a lot cleaner than what we have and retains some of what TF2 Outpost began as.

Thanks guys.


After some thinking I'm actually just going to stick with what we have and implement a system that saves your setting and allows you to change the filter quickly and easily. I'd rather not change the domain because there's actually a lot of migration work not only with the server but with underlying services and external applications.

I'd vote outpost.tf.

outpost.gg sounds awesome

outpost.tf wins the end bye everyone.

Nice idea
Capitanul Bestie 4 Feb, 2013 @ 10:23am 
I think that's a good idea
imclueless 4 Feb, 2013 @ 10:23am 
outpost.tf

I think nearly everyone is going to agree here that outpost.tf is your best option, especially if it hasn't been registered.

Outpost.tf

I think the outpost should be left the way it is, because some people actually will trade other games (and game related stuff) for tf2 items. Its good the way it is.

outpost.gg, because if you're going to add tf2. and the start tf2.outpost.tf would look silly.
Majin 4 Feb, 2013 @ 10:24am 
Voted for .tf but would be equally happy with .gg

Since what they will all have in common is the steam element, you could do something related to valve/steam for the domains that have already been taken. *.outpost.gg with outpost.tf redirecting to tf2.outpost.gg seems like it would be the most prudent though.

That means it's available. Also I don't want a new website just so dota users can trade, keep the domain and use what you originally thought of.
