Here it comes, I know I am going to get slammed. It is just that I like to check this site out at work and the this url is not really politically correct. I realize defender created a sort of mirror site with the vgdeals.com thing, but it still takes you back here. I had to ask. It sure would make google and target happy :wink:

CheapGamer says it all too.

It's relatively easy to make the vgdeals domain a complete alias - make the two completely equivalent. I'm sure you guys can figure it out (or not, if your hosting company sux0rs).

thriftygamer.com doesn't seem to be taken...that would be a better site name as it accurately describes what we're all about and it isn't offensive in the least.

I like the url as is. That's the site. We are cheapass gamers.

Where do you work were you can't say ASS? A kindergarten? I work for a very socially conservative govenment contractor that has strict online guidelines regarding where you go and ASS has not been an issue ever. This is in an atmosphere where people have been fired over the content of their online surfing. So I think you might be a little paranoid. You should worry more about the content of the avatars then the URL.

mind if i ask y it matters?

can't please everyone

so I say people that cant deal with a simple "unoffensive" word that even children can say should deal with it or find somewhere with a more "politically correct" focus

Look, the same deals can be found on fatwallet, and a myriad of other sites. I like cheapassgamer because it sets the tone for the true heart and soul of the site... the community. You can look and find equivalant deals multiple other places... but you won't find this community anywhere else.

actually a good idea. a few friends can't surf this site because the domain is NSFW. not a bad suggestion.

Forgive my ignorance, but if one uses www.vgdeals.com doesn't that mask the cag domain name?

It still downloads everything from cheapassgamer.com so any log files would still include the CAG name.

My college bans every damn thing.. it's rediculous. I can't even visit newgrounds anymore. :?

unfortunately not. If we could get the vgdeals to really mask the url it would be great. It could even be used as an alternative for advertising on google, etc.

For those at work, use an http proxy server, like a Megaproxy.com, that way the only thing logged it the proxy addy.

If possible (it may not be) I am for it. If nothing, it is a good suggestion.

I think Cheapassgamer.com is the best site especially when you tell people I like to go to cheapASSgamer.com. people remember this name because it's edgy and makes some people giggle or others mad. The first time that I heard about it was from a magazine, I forget which one but the name stuck and others didn't. So to CheapyD keep the ASS I like it. (nothing gay I just like ASS).

I wouldn't ever complain about it.. if I get in trouble for it, it's my problem, really. No reason to change the face of CAG for me.

Cheapy shouldn't change the name of the site just cause some people can't surf at work or school. If you can't view the site at those places then too bad - go home and view it there.

its not really necessary. how come people can't handle ass? its not blocked out on the radio, it really just means a donkey (though not in this context - :P) but still. its really mild and everything, too bad target can't handle it (or walmart or nething for that matter).

but if it was like, www.ingcheapassgamerbitch.com then i'd understand. but its not! so no don't change the name, its who we are. cheap asses.

Wait until you guys hear the announcement I make next week.
It's related to this issue and will blow your mind.

I'll say no more until then.
