Now, the next question is can we use simply iboats or must we always follow it with .com? I am serious . . . this is free and we should at least help build the brand properly

This post should be zapped, it's obviously a blatant free advertisement - which is not allowed

At least people aren't using this as an excuse to pad their posts.

I'm not a bit surprised by your survey however, you spelled the word boat correctly.

Re: Quiz...what's real spelling of this company's name?

Interesting question bv, I am sure I have mistakenly called it iBoats. However it was not intended to offend, simply a mental error on my part. In retrospect I suppose it could be due to the eye's misinterpitation of the red symbol at the company logo.<br /><br /> As for the dropping of the .com....Heck even you guy's do it in your "about us" sections when you are refering to yourselves. That part just comes natural I suppose in this computer age.<br /><br />Same reason we don't call it "iboats.com incorperated"<br /><br />But your question does raise one of my own, did someone register the misspellings trying to capitilize on your success. and if not perhaps you should snap up these common mispellings and link them to the correct site.

Re: Quiz...what's real spelling of this company's name?

I'm thinking this thread was created because I f'd up the title to my iboats.com quiz thread.<br /><br />So... sorry about that.

Re: Quiz...what's real spelling of this company's name?

We often refer to ourselves as "iboats" instead of iboats.com, both in writing and speaking about ourselves and our company. When we want to be more official, or to help people be able to find us online, we then add the .com<br /><br />It's certainly fine for all of us in these Forums to call us iboats.com or just iboats or even "hey you" <br /><br />BV

Re: Quiz...what's real spelling of this company's name?

I reckon you blokes should add a bit of punch and penazz to it and call it uboats. <br />Thats what I always call it.<br />You could all wear neat looking "corporate wardrobes", and "real" jewlery, nice shiny boots, and I reckon the hats would sell well. <br />I thing there is one member of the board that would snaffel up a complete outfit.<br />Just joking <br />(with a bit of luck i may get away with this while JB has his mind on other "things")<br />Cheers<br />Phillip
