I would like to donate to the forum a suitable "South African" domain for the web site. I need to know whether it should be www.lada.co.za or www.ladaniva.co.zaOnce we have sorted this out I will get the details registered @ Kobus - PM me the IP etc so that the new domain can have the info as part ot it.

Good idea Vincent
PM Kobus as he doesn't visit the forum regularly. Have you checked if those 3 are availible yet? before we decide on one and then cant have it cause someone else took it already??

lada.co.za is up for deletion. Its is currently being squatted on by some bloke in Canada. All others are available.

As it will be a Club specific site I would have to go for the LOCSA domain. But I won't break any bones about it.

I am not fussed any way. There is no law that ways you cannot have multiple domains pointing at the same site.

My thinking on this was for NEW members who now have a Lada and have not yet found LOCSA. I stumbled onto the site via Baxters site - It is quite possible that I would not have found LOCSA. Err let me rather rephrase that statement - Ronnie would have pointed me in the right direction :-)

Why not take all of them and use them to point to LOCSA as you say. Then we cover all the bases to capture new members.

As many domains pointing in one direction will be the best. My thoughts for ladaniva.co.za also helps because not many people will know to search for LOCSA. This helps us cast a wider net.

Darryn is right but I will vote for LOCSA - sentiment rules me on this one I can not see any reason why it all could not point/direct to the same thing. Marius

Darryn, that is some good points you have there. Especially regarding; "...not many people will know to search for LOCSA".
Well, the more the merrier. ;D

Hi guys
I think this is a brilliant gesture from Vincent. I suggest ladaniva.co.za
You will have a better chance to get people to the Locsa site that way because they will not search for Locsa if they are not aware of it. But they will surely search for Lada or Niva and end up at the Locsa site.

I also Like LADANIVA.co.za
The reason is that I wouldn't drive any LADA. Only a NIVA.
