Lovey, I have not heard you say anything about filling the gap created this morning? Gap above, gaps below. Which get(s) filled first, I don't know. (That rhymes!)

If there is a single AFB2, neigh AFB board member that does not believe in the value of a brand, step forward and shoot me down now. Once set up, it is self propagating, and can be nurtured with very little effort. The old board had a brand, and it had come to mean something to the likes of Fortune Magazine, Time Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and many more.
If you do not think the import of the URL has great merit, I say au contraire, as the french would put it. The interwebs are quick, and we should be quicker, and more agile, then get back on topic.
It really is that easy.
50 bucks

I could care less about the "brand". I'm with Lovey, let's talk Apple, AAPL, TA, and investing.

We are cruising down the highway in the equivalent of a Ford Fiesta when we could be riding in a BMW, Ferrari or some other European brand! Yes we will eventually get there, but why not go in style??? I have spent what feels like half my life in forums (tech, enthusiast etc). vbulletin is awesome while phpBB isn't far behind. But I will be more than happy to stay right here. I do like Ferrari's though. :-) Waaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Baby steps, Rudyo!!!!! I just want to talk about AAPL and Apple and trading and charts! I don't want to build a business, or a brand. There's no wheeee factor there. I gotta have wheeeee. You don't have to do it all, nor should you! There are some VERY capable people here. Form a committee of interested souls and just direct the technicians to work their magic. It isn't all that difficult. For starters I would find a way to accept donations to offset the costs of the board. Easy to do and lets all of us contribute in our own individual way.

My vote goes to whatever ilovemyipad wants to do. I thought we were here to build our personal portfolios by leveraging the collective knowledge of the group, with exceptional results I might add. I didn't know that "building a brand" was on the agenda. icam, branding is not an agenda, it is a reality. Whether it is for two folks, or twenty million, all with the belief that the reason the board exists is to further the few, or the many that share similar interest! A good domain assists greatly in that effort, a short domain is even better, one that reflects the board, icing on the cake. Domains are very portable, and are not tied to any specific technology, or forum provider! 13 bucks. I agree 100% macentropist! You will wake up in 6 months or a year or 2 and will wish you had built the brand from the start...now is the time.

Just remember.
I've been on iPad's bad side.
It's almost like - let's keep things light. Or iPad's wrath upon us.

I too think a small stipend might go a long way, I also believe in the word "delegate" when one needs to do so.

Rudyo
I have a brand elsewhere, and no intentions here, other than the occasional missive. My only poker in the fire, is a place for those missives.
I relent now for those that know better.
