I have decided to build a new webpage. It will include 2 forums: 1 forum will be for the Midwest Xterra Gathering (much like gonemoab), and the other forum will be for the Midwest Xterra Owners. The main page will also include a link to a new member sign up form, a members list, a links page, and a modifications page. I need to know what domain name to use so please reply as soon as possible so I can get going on this! I already started the development of the website and I want to get the domain/webserver paid for and set-up in the next couple of days.

(These are not workable links, it just automaticaly set it up this way)
www.midwestxterraowners.com
www.midwestxterraowners.org
www.mxo.com
www.mxo.org
www.midwestxterraownersclub.com
www.midwestxterraownersclub.org
www.midwestxoc.com
www.midwestxoc.org
www.mwxoc.com
www.mwxoc.org

Midwest Xterra Owners

I kinda like www.midwestxterraowners.com or .org. I know Ian can be pretty touching on the use the XOC name, or things like that, and it's totally understandable...

We are Midwest Xterra Owners. I think that spells it out the best. I would say the .com is the simplest and most common, but .org would be more of what we are... I'm not real biased on that one way or the other.

Gone and gone.
All 3 letter domain names are spoken for, which is why I recommended mwxg.com earlier. I was rather surprised there were any 4 letter domains available.

mwxc.com is gone too but mwxc.org is available.

I would recommend mwxc.org or mwxoc.org, keeping it short and easy to remember.

I like midwestxoc.com myself. If you print it on anything you can make it standout like MidWestXOC.com or something.

These are my favorites, and seeing as www.mwxoc.org is available (according to Ian) and short that would be my choice over all of the others!

www.midwestxoc.com
www.midwestxoc.org
www.mwxoc.com
www.mwxoc.org

Not at all.

I would leave "xoc" out unless the club is actually "MidWest Xterra Owners Club", and not just "MidWest Xterra Club".
