View Full Version : Possible Forum Names
Okay, I am going to throw this out there for discussion... If we add the WK family to our forum I have a couple of choices:
1) Keep XK-Forum.com and make everyone use that domain regardless of vehicle owned
2) Purchase WK-Forum.com and direct it to our forum as well as XK-Forum.com
3) Change the name
The sky is the limit for changing the name but It needs to be something that search engines would hit often, something like theultimatejeep.com
What are your thoughts and/or suggestions?
(if you suggest a new name do a search and see if the name is available)
I don't have a name suggestion yet... but my $.02 is that most owners searching the internet for the first time don't know what XK or WK mean. So I would like to see a domain name that's more intuitive for those who aren't already full fledged enthusiasts like us.

If we don't use XK/WK, then it would be difficult to direct both models through the search engines. You might get a lot of flow from the Wrangler crowd if you go with "BigJeeps" or something alike.

I agree about the XK\WK thing I never knew what that meant until I joined a forum. I guess that means the word Jeep will have to be in the name some how. But considering its two different Jeeps that's going to be to hard.
I kind of like ultimatejeeps.com. ...

Lol that's actually why I signed up on the other forum first.... the name was more intuitive and I didn't know what XK meant.

before you get into a name change, think about how search engines work and the description in the header, not just forum name.
The name isnt as important as how someone finds it. Search terms.
If you do a name change, you could have trouble linking old searches. You might want to tie other names into this for the purpose of
search words.

So are you saying that XK-Forum.com should always be the main domain in the background if the name is changes and then link the other domains to xk-forum.com?

Also google charges money to get moved up in the search ranking quicker. You can also pay to be moved ahead of other sites when the criteria you state is searched for.

06-11-2011, 08:16 AM
Im my opinion, I would just keep the XK forum as it is and just have the WK join in....or have the WK as another domain and just link the two. It goes back to my origional comment about this. There are lots of jeep forums out there that include all types of jeep. There are very few forums that are meant just for the XK, which is why we are all here.
ped4599
06-11-2011, 08:17 AM
besides....i just got my XK forum stickers!!!!
My main issue with leaving the main "hub" of the web address as "xk-forum" is potentially discouraging wk members from signing up. Just as we're the red-headed stepchild on every other jeep forum out there, we don't want the WK members to feel like the stepchildren. It really should be a combined site if we're going to do it, IMO.
We can also add in thread prefixes that'll seperate an XK or WK specific thread (like custom bumpers for example).
LOL a great example of why im so for this change is a recent thread on JF. One of the members is having wandering/steering issues with his WK, well a Wrangler member jumped in and told him to check his track bar bushings because he had the same issues when his track bar went bad in his front end..... but.....we dont have track bars in the front... (in his defense, he may have thought the OP was posting an issue about a Wrangler and didn't realize that it was in the WK/XK forum).

I voted for my choices, but I think the WK guys need to sign up and vote for what would like to see and show some interest before we change this site all up. Lets say we change the name and add sub-forums for the WK crowd and there is no activity or WK members joining, then it was all for nothing.

You can only vote once... but in that vote you can choose as many of the names as possible.

I agree, it would be nice to get some WK guys signed up to vote. But at the same time, what came first.. the chicken or the egg? I don't expect to see a ton of WK activity right away, but over time I think it'll help the site grow.
The WK won't really need a lot of "sub forums" either. The entire point of this is that there is so much in common between the two platforms that we'll have the same forums. Maybe a sub forum for WK exterior & interior mods and XK exterior & interior mods... but drivetrain, suspension, wheeling, etc will all be shared.
I don't think any WK members will ever want to put an XK-Forum.com decal on their WK's... so are the votes for that site name from people who want to retain an XK only site?
I for one will keep the XK-Forum.com decal as no matter what we do that will still be the main domain URL, Any other name selected will be directed to XK-Forum.com.
If a new name is selected I will make new decals and then members can select which one they want to fly on their vehicle.
The new header would keep the XK-Forum icon and add the new one to share the space.
I played around with re-naming some of the threads today as a sample for us to look at and if needed additional sections can be added when there is a real need for them.
Those of you who know WK guys might want to suggest they pock their heads in here and make your thoughts known, it is never too late to go back to the way it was a month ago. :)
So will the new domain just be a phantom, once you hit "enter" it goes away and the address bar will say "xk-forum.com/...." for everything?
I sent a few PM's and some guys seemed interested.... how about you guys that wheeled with them, any luck?
Sorry if this was already said but we could buy wk forum and direct both it and our current forum to one of the new named sites.

Yes, this too could be done but it would require the purchase of 2 additional domains for a total of 3 (not a big expense).
Other than for the sake of typing in xk-forum and wk-forum, i don't see a point in adding the expense to buy the extra domain just to have it linked to a 3rd site... well, i guess it would make it easy to remember and we could have xk-forum and wk-forum specific stickers? I'd probably still get a (assuming this one wins) TheUltimateJeep.com sticker just so people that see it might actually check out the site.
TheOtherJeep.com is kind of funny as well.... might get even more people looking at the site to see what we're all about :cool:

Matt- if you used the 2 URL's one for WK and the other XK and point them to the same website, you just have to change the
banner to include wk's and include it in the search terms and divide into XK and WK sections.
And then we could change Sal to "The Grocery Getter"
.

This site was built because many of us got tired of a few bs members on the other site. "Real" Jeep guys know their Jeep's build code and will find the site just fine. When I bought my Commander I searched XK forums then found jeepcommander.com. I'd have to hope the WK guys we'd want here could do the same. So do you want to water down this site like what happened to the latter just to have ego boosting member numbers?
The poll should probably be updated a bit too..... maybe have a 2nd question that says:
Get wk-forum and direct both xk-forum and wk-forum to 3rd domain (chosen above)? Yes/No
I think xk-forum should be removed from the poll. .... we're not eliminating it regardless. We're basically voting on what the "combined" forum name should be.
And maybe after we have enough votes, we'll have a 2nd round of voting on the top 3 where we only get 1 vote?

I honestly don't think that will happen. I have met only a couple (as in 2) WK guys that have seriously pissed me off. I don't think they will come into this forum and water it down or make it something it is not. As for those 2 WK guys, one was banned and the other hasnt been around JF for quite a while.

Just want to make it more friendly to get the WK members who like modding their WKs involved.
We can still keep this place more Jeep oriented.... dont need "game" or "chat" forums. That's when you start getting watered down IMO.
Fwiw. .. neither Sal or I knew what XK meant so that's why we signed up on the other forum first. I guess we're not real Jeep guys. :(

Keep up the discussion, I really want to do what is best for XK-Forum so your input is VERY important. If the WK guys join us but we lose what we have then I will have made a big mistake.
I would love to see this forum grow, but only if growth is a good thing.
I am looking into the future and considering things like WC Camp Commander becoming something like WC Ultimate Jeep Camp and stuff like that, but any change needs to be supported my the majority and be inteh best interest of the group as a whole.

I should have clarified my statement. By watered down I mean members that ask before they use the search option or have nothing of value to add to discussion, but never the less like to say something just to feel apart of it. These are the same people that park their Commanders on yellow poles. Wow, I'm really having a bad day. I usually keep these as thoughts instead of words. Sorry, carry on.
Fwiw. .. neither Sal or I knew what XK meant so that's why we signed up on the other forum first.
I did not know what XK meant when I joined the "other" site either, there were many threads at that time trying to teach new members that the Commander was an XK as many owners did not know that Jeep has model desigantions along with model names.
I think it is important that we incourage members from the "other" forum to check us out too, esspecially the new guys who have not developed a sence of belonging yet.

Unfortunately that nearly impossible to avoid on the internet nowadays. Its really a careful balance, like Dan mentioned, to keep the site prosperous enough to keep going vs overdoing it for the sake of "member boosting" .

Having the one poster because he has an issue ya that dude sucks I agree. The content on here speaks for its self and the things were doing with our XK's aren't being done anywhere else so this is the only place to get the information. As the XK gets older younger people will be buying them and then looking for information on how to build it for off road use and we are way a head of the game. The WX\XK seem to get along just fine on jeep forum so I know us mixing the two together will be fine.

I think this site will grow with them added and I now do not have any issues changing the site name or whatever. I know there are a bunch of hardcore XK fans on here that will never let the XK name be put on the back burner, including myself. I will still rock the "XK-FORUMS.COM" sticker on my fairing and I'll even throw up the new name as well.

Beat me to it!
I think "GroceryGetter4x4.com" would be better than GG4x4.com for the simple fact that the window decals will draw more attention by saying "grocery getter" in the name.

That's because you were too busy throwing mud up onto your new skid to look like you went off-roading this past weekend.......

No, it is taken. I asked the guys at fullsizejeeeps.com if our jeep was considered a FSJ to be part of their club and was informed that our model is not included as it is too new.

Shoot, I thought it was good, and i think our Commanders should count, it is a fullsize frame and drive train. Oh well

So is this going anywhere or dwindling off? I've tried to get a few guys interested in coming over to get the ball rolling... but its hard to get something rolling uphill.

I made some sample areas but have not seen any WK owners jump in too provide their input, if they are not interested I did not want to spend much more time and money on it. It is up to them!
Changing the logo up at the top may help....
What are the sample areas you made? Ill try sending out some links.

So far no interest...............no point of changing anything.
I'm all for it but there are no fish biting.
Its like fishing with the wrong bait.... I try to put myself in their shoes. I would have a hard time posting and getting involved in a forum that was solely WKs based on the web address and a big "ultimate grand Cherokee" header.
BUT, if the Dan and Sal can't even get the guys that they hang out with and wheel with to post here to help the cause, maybe it isn't worth trying..... I figured they would be shoe-ins to the idea of having "our" own site instead of being step children on other Jeep forums.
But at least we tried. And we're not going anywhere. :)

I added a WK thread and modified some thread discriptions:
http://www.xk-forum.com/forumdisplay.php/93-General-Jeep-Grand-Cherokee-(WK)-Discussion
"New to XK-Forums.com? Come on in and tell us about yourself and your Jeep Commander or Grand Cherokee. Just get your new XK, XH or WK? Post about it in here! Here you will find the basic rules and great information to get you started."
So far no interest...............no point of changing anything.

It would cost money and time to change the header, no point in doing that if there is no interest.

I'm with ya on that... I've never managed a website so I didn't know how difficult some of these changes would be.

They are not really difficult, time and money are the main factors and with the limited paid members (thank you all by the way) it does not make sense to add domains and change the header for no return on investment.
I try to keep costs down to a bare minimum in order to make this forum about the Commander instead of about making money.

The interest isn't there from what I can see. Also it's summer time which is when were all out enjoying our jeeps and the mods we did over the winter. We have a strong group here and were constantly adding members so we might just want to stick with what we have.
On another note.... can we still change to GroceryGetter4x4??? Lol That domain really grew on me... and the sticker/t-shirts/accessory options are nearly endless. :)

If you buy the domain I give you permission to direct it to this site :)

How much is the domain?
I think its like $10/year.
But if its just a phantom domain that directs you to xk-forum.com and doesn't appear in the address bar/links/etc it kind of defeats the point.
