If there was another one you liked, just shout it out. These are the ones that came to mind when I was making this.
Note: Fanpost.com is already taken. Sorry for the confusion.

I was thinking of adding a joke response, but I knew everyone would go with it.

Don't make me delete your mean and nastyness. Just 'cause you're an admin doesn't mean you can't get moderated.  |

Just because you're a Mod doesn't mean I can't ban you. 
I can ban now, too.  -shim |

thescoreboards.com eh? It's a little wordy and I'm struggling to find the significance in it, but I don't hate it either.
I actually voted for fanpost.com ... succinct and sensical.

I think the significance is just the play on words, or word in this case "boards". I had to read it a second time before it hit me.

I hate to have lost someone's vote, but FanPost.com is already taken. I don't know how I didn't see that when I checked. If you want to PM me your vote, I'll hold onto it. Sorry guys.

FanPost.com is taken according to my detective work. Jeremy needs to make another choice then.

thescoreboards.com eh? It's a little wordy and I'm struggling to find the significance in it, but I don't hate it either. Some random thoughts on why it would be a good name. Some of us started out posting together on a group of four ( five?) sites networked together (x-boards -- baseball, hockey, football, hoops, racing?). This would be like going back in time even before FanHome with the last part of the name. And as you know the purpose in games for every sport is to score. It's not a baseball only term. It's not a hockey only term. It's used in all four of the major sports. So no one is going to look at the name and think it's a football only board or a basketball only board. And man, have we got boards. |

I guess I'm also so used to seeing the name "The Score" associated with the Canadian TV station here, I'm having trouble getting used to our board being named so similarly. But I can see the sense in it.
Ty, give me a few minutes and I'll PM you my choice.

Maybe I missed this - but is HomeFan not an option?
For the URL it could just be HomeFanBoards.com or something like that.

You can verbally state it (as you've done), and it will be taken into consideration with the others.
I should also mention that the decision of this vote is not final.
It's basically being used to gauge the community for their choice for the new name and then the admin's will discuss the choice.

Thanks Jeremy.
I mentioned this to Test in private and he says that HomeFan.com is taken.
That being said, I really like the idea of going with something based on HomeFan because of the metaphorically quality. HomeFan is the reverse of FanHome and in a lot of ways the purpose of this board is to be the opposite of what FanHome has become. I like that it has some meaning.
Something like homefanboards.com, homefanonline, homefans.com etc...might we worth going with the extra words in order to capitalize on the FanHome roots.
ETA: homefan.net and homefan.org are both available.
