Piano World Home Page Forums Our Most Popular Forums Adult Beginners Forum Ideas needed for new name for recital site

Although some of the other suggestions are certainly more fun and creative, I like Bessel's suggestion, because it is unambiguous and straightforward. (And also because it has both PW and ABF in it.)

If I understand correctly, this is to replace the abf.make247.co.uk site? My question is, if all the old recital files are moved to the new one, won't that mess up all the links in the original recital threads? Also, will Sam have to change the index he is maintaining?

BTW, thanks so much LaValse, for taking care of all this for us!

If the links to the recordings change, then the ABF recital index links will not work anymore. Not only that, but the links in all the old recital posts in the ABF forum won't work anymore either. So if you looked up the old recitals at PW then you couldn't listen to any of the recordings.

But I'm guessing LaValse will take all this into consideration and use a redirect or something so the new site doesn't break all the old links.

Of course, if he builds a neat new site with all the recitals archived and indexed and searchable then my ABF recital index can fade away into internet history - and I'll have more time to practice!

If the site name ended in "red" then you would get the dot for free as there is already a dot in .com, for example abfred.com .

Is this the same as "October Piano Bar", the recital you are talking about moving?

No... the piano bars are monthly free-for-alls where people upload recordings to wherever and then post links in the piano bar threads. The recitals occur only quarterly, and they're more "official" or organized in the sense of the recordings being uploaded in a common format and placed into zip files, along with a streaming player, that makes it easier to listen to them all together.

Hope that makes sense. The easiest way to see the difference is to check out some of our past recitals; look for the link that's in the "Important Topics for AB Forum" thread stickied at the top of the AB forum page.

I like the ones that refer to Piano World and ABF.

Thnx Cathy, I got one vote at least

I vote that LaValse, who is doing all the work, take our input (perhaps weighted by our past submissions, which happens to be zero in my case) into consideration and then do whatever he wants.

ah ha ha ha! That's great!

I love all the creative, witty ideas but I agree with Bessel. I think something
simple and self explanitory would be good.

You could have the simple and self-explanatory name as the main one, with a red-dotty subtitle on the main page. Best of both worlds. (I'm not part of this, but couldn't resist throwing that in)

I say we just name it after me and be done with it! Sorta like the University of Phoenix Stadium, located in Glendale AZ of course!

The University of Super-Hunky Stadium and Beginner Recital Palace - yes, it has a certain cache.

someone who looks for solutions- I like it!
Btw... I have yet to play/post a recital peice. But now I think I obligated myself to do so by responding the this topic. Eeeek!

The super hunky red dot abf experience!
