ramblas.org isn't available, unfortunately.

For anyone who wants to make enquiries about domain names, try Easily.

I take the hint about decision-making but I'd like to mull it over just a little more.

How about Virtual Runners? virtualrunners.com is available.

Definition of virtual (American Heritage Dictionary):



[INDENT]1. Existing in the mind, especially as a product of the imagination. [/INDENT][INDENT]
2. Computer created, simulated, or carried on by means of a computer or computer network: virtual conversations in a chatroom.


[/INDENT]#1 certainly applies to the athleticism and running routines of many of us. #2 needs no comment.

Shades of Hal Higdon's "V-team" admittedly, where the V I think stood for virtual, but hey, Hal and I go way back.


Edited to add:

I just reread all the previous comments. Good contribution from MLCM which I was too rude to acknowledge at the time. (I was going through my Dark Period back then...) There seems to be a feeling that we don't want/need to be a club in the formal sense, but are really just looking for a name as a kind of flag to glance up at from time to time, and to help give us a web identity. I'm OK with that. I must say I'm not that inspired by all the bureaucracy that usually surrounds 'proper clubs' i.e. the need to have roles and responsibilities. We're all too anarchic for that, surely.

Someone controversially suggested... runningcommentary, which might just do if we're not looking for a proper club name. So these are my latest suggestions -- runningcommentary and virtualrunners.com. A little anaemic admittedly, compared with Las Ramblas and Spanish Strollers. I don't dislike the latter suggestions incidentally, but was just wondering if this would put people off. On the other hand, perhaps we want to put off the sort of people who would be put off by names like this?

I'll just mention in passing that the software used for this forum, vBulletin, is extremely flexible and customisable. So we could think in terms of having the forum on the front page but with all the other stuff too. Or certainly links to them. When I get a chance later, I'll post some examples. .

Anyway, I'll invite a few more comments. In the meantime, must get back to work
