REQUEST: Please rename the project

[adambair]

Don't get me wrong. I love and support The Pirate Bay... but... would it be possible to rename this project to something other than "openbay"?

I've poured the last two years of my life into my startup https://www.openbay.com which now has grown to 15 full time employees to whom I'm responsible.

I agree it's a great name, which is why we chose it over two years ago for our business. It's how our auto mechanics and customers have identified us for years.

SEO and brand recognition is an important part of our business and, as you could imagine, my inbox was flooded this morning with mentions of "openbay" that were not related to the business we've been growing. Quite disheartening, it was a rough morning :'(

I know this is a long shot... but please give it some consideration.

Thanks,
Adam Bair
CTO of Openbay

That's a bummer. :-|

@adambair With all respect your website needs some fixing. It's outrageous that I'm welcomed with:

Openbay isn't available yet in your country. We're growing every day, so keep checking back!

Give me about page, give me details of what you do etc. You're Your designer/engineer who decided to show that idiotic page instead of some real info dose not deserve it's beer.

Edit:
Regarding the rename... if project owners wold like, maybe a same like:

• OpenPB aka OpenPirateBay (naming idea comes from OpenGL, OpenAL, OpenCV etc)

@adambair This website showing "Openbay isn't available yet in your country" is really a no-go.

As an alternative name, I propose:

• OpenTPB (because TPB is a common abbreviation of "The Pirate Bay")
• FreeBay (downside: contains "eBay" in the name)

the same "Openbay isn't available yet in your country"

Thanks for the feedback! The country filter was left in place from our initial pilot period and is no longer necessary. I'll have it removed shortly.

OpenCove?
ThePirateLagoon? lol

[ddon]

Still getting "Openbay isn't available yet in your country"

This project could be called AvailableBay. (:

[peva3]

UpBay?

[jzjzjzj]

TPBB - ThePirateBayBe (as in "ThePirateBay" + "offspring/baby of TPB" + "to be").

Or simply - PeopleBay, since we're no pirates anymore and such...

[peva3]

ThePirateBae lol

[adambair]

@ddon Sorry, was getting a cup of coffee before I kicked off the deploy ;) You should be all set!

Country filter removed.

How about not referring to TPB at all?

This whole charade smells like a fishy marketing stunt by IsoHunt to piggyback on TPB's misfortune.
