    I know that you guys don't have the German umlauts but it would be uebertreffen in German (where ue stands for the umlaut 'ü').

    Is it common to spell the ue/ü as a u ? I had to read it twice to understand what it means.
    That's the end of that!

      Yeah my suggestion would be to steer clear of anything you need to explain.

        If you are known under taklfitness i would stick with that. You've created several of these type of threads and I just casted my vote: talk fitness.

        I myself own domains like wetalk.tv talkmozilla / talkbanners / talk * .com

                  Yeah I had meant it to be with the ü , but I have been thinking that this domain wouldn't really make a lot of sense to MANY people ... and I don't want to have to continually explain it..., but on the other hand it would be pretty unique I guess... It stands for "Surpass" am I right...?

                  Cool, yeah the thing is is that we want to be specifically a "bodybuilding" only kinda forum... hmm not sure what we should do...

                  I'm liking bodybuildingforums.net too cause of the keywords it has... what do you mean "not interested in any .org domain name" ?

                  So thanks to everyone who has voted so far... a lot of people are telling us to stay with talkfitness.org, but bodybuildingforums.net has a pretty good keywords to a forum on only "bodybuilding" , whereas talkfitness.org is more about general fitness which... we kinda want to switch from..

                    Get all the domain names and analyze which one gets the most traffic and make that the main url, and use the rest as alias.

                        Unless you have registered them, you probably should not have posted them here, as other people might decide that domain names on your list are so good that they will register them before you.

                            Go for the best keyword rich domain name (that suits the topic you cover), and contains the keywords you think people will use the most to find what your site covers. I'd agree that bodybuildingforums.net is a good choice, it's a long name but it has good keywords in it though, which will also help you get good adsense targeted ads displayed. I would image that may people looking for a bodybuilding forum to join, would use those two keywords to find them quite often.

                            Was "bodybuildingforum.net" not available, without the "s". That would be a better choice.

                            I registered "bodybuildingcommunity.com". But I really wanted "bodybuildingforum.com", but of course that was already taken, so I went with the first to get the ".com". Anyway, I finished up selling it after I got an email from a person wanting to buy it.
