Here's how YOU can help this website!!!!

I want to rename this website.

I should not need to explain why I wan tto do this. However, there follows an explanation as to why, just in case you need one.


REASONS AS TO WHY:

1) This current name is shit.


This pretty much conveys my views in the subject.

I have always felt this name to be shit, but, back in the early days of this website (June 2005), it wasn't supposed to matter. This wasn't supposed to be a website, after all. (For the full and tedious story, view ths About page that no one looks at.) I ran with the first thing that came into my head, and this was the first thing that came into my head. It had some logic to it, too:

a - I am Sham, this is about Sports, and they both begin with S. Hooray!

b - If people out there know me, like me, and then find this website not through me, they might be all like "oh wow, clearly Sham made this! This makes me want to drop my trousers and look at this website!". (Note to sceptics - this has happened at least once.)

c - Not specifically mentioning the NBA - or even basketball - in the website's total left me able to do stuff about other sports, should I have wanted to. (And I nearly did for a while.)

d - I couldn't think of anything better.


Now, we're three years on, and this website is starting to get some attention. This is a good thing, with a bad aspect to it - I cringe every time I see the name. It looks weird, it sounds weird, it's a tough one to explain to people in my real life, and it can make me seem egotistical when I'm not. (Self depricating humour rules! I have a really small penis!) And so that's why I want to change it, before it becomes impossible to do so when I achieve the international acclaim that I consider to be inevitable. (Oh, wait, maybe I am egotistical, then.)

Unfortunately, we're three years on, and point D still applies. I can't think of anything.

I know what I'm looking for. I am looking for something that embodies the site, and its contents, that is also memorable. I need something that reflects the site's penchant for irreverance and zany madcap humour (or whatever you call it), while also remaining true to the subject of basketball. I need something that people will remember, but which will also reflect the site's policy of focusing on the bits of the NBA that don't get properly covered. I need something that doesn't publicise the increasingly aggressive acerbic NBA commentary that has come to define this website, but which also doesn't deny it. And I need something that I won't cringe at every time I see it elsewhere on the internet.

The best I could manage was michaelruffin.com.

And that's why I need your help.
