    I have no clue what the new domain will be.  It might end up as a .COM/.ORG, it might be .MEN, or any other valid top level domain.  This URL will NOT go away anytime soon.  It would become a redirect to the new URL.  It will continue to work for as long as we want it to exist.  (It costs us about $15 a year to maintain it, so it's not overly expensive.)  Once the new site is ready, users can use either address to get here.  The browser bar however will show the new domain name.  
    Yes, this new address would be a "one stop shop" for everything.  We do not need to separate the forums from the review site.  It was done when there was a large amount of uncertainty around SOSTA/FESTA.  It's been more than a decade since then and the legal implications are much better understood.  I've had a lawyer review this and it was determined to not be a problem.  What's funny is that even if it was a problem...  if the government came after one site, they would have gotten both because both sites ran on the SAME server.  If they seized one, it would have taken both with it.  So in reality it was more about making the APPEARANCE of separation than what might happen if something was actually done about the review site.  
    Our challenge with the daddysreviews.com domain itself is that when Daddy died, we were never able to gain control of the domain name.  It was associated with an email account no one knew the password to get into.  As a result, we cannot make any changes to that domain.  We cannot point it to our site's servers, etc.  It's basically just sitting there pointing to something that does not exist anymore (meaning Daddy's old server that went offline last summer).  
    That domain name is set to expire in March of this year.  Specifically:
    Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2022-03-19T21:48:45Z
    Once it expires, the domain enters a "redemption period" where the owner can reclaim it.  After it's expired 30-90 days, it will eventually be released and anyone can buy it first come, first serve.  I'm going to try to grab it for historical sake and point it back similar to how I would point this URL to the new one.  But I don't know for sure if I'll be able to get it before someone else can.  Think of shopping on Black Friday with limited quantities of items...  its a gamble if you will be able to get the item you want.  
    So regardless...  it makes sense to continue with our new branding efforts with a new permanent domain.  All of our old domains will automatically push people into the new location and work transparently.  (Because there will be a domain change, you WILL need to save your password in your browser and login again for the first time once the new domain is live...  just like we did when I pointed everyone here following Daddy's death and the loss of his server.)

    Thank you to everyone that participated in the contest to help pick our New Site Name.    We had some absolutely fantastic submissions... to the point where it was nearly impossible for the moderators to cut the list down.  It fact as a result in the end, we've decided to make the vote be a Top 5 instead of a Top 3!  
    Without further ado...  for your consideration...  below are the entries we're going to ask you to pick from in selecting our future site name:

    Sessions  The Company of Men  The Hobbyist  Hire Path  man.date As a reminder, the winner of this poll will have their name chosen for our new site name AND receive a $100 cash prize!  All other finalists will receive a $25 cash prize.
    There were a number of other names that we loved as well and wanted to highlight as "honorable mentions".  While they are not up for consideration for our future site name, we did want to call them out as we liked them quite a bit!

    Menopedia  Don't Tell Momma  Cockpit  DearJohn Those names selected as an honorable mention will receive some sort of branded logo gear with our new name on it once the new logo is designed.  This could be a mug, hat, shirt, or something else.  Details to come later once we actually have a logo!    
    Below are some rules for the vote:
    Voting is open now through Feb 23, 2022 at 11:59 PM Eastern.  The poll will AUTOMATICALLY close at this time. The poll can be found in this thread at the top of page 1.  All votes must be cast in that poll.  Anything else will not be considered.  (So don't PM me your choice!) Each member may only vote for ONE name.   Once a selection is made, we are unable to change your vote.  (Please don't ask as the answer will be "no".)   The moderators reserve the right to disqualify votes if we find individuals attempting to create additional usernames to vote twice.  Yes...  I had to put the rules in small print.  Any sort of real contest rules are ALWAYS done in tiny print.  It's part of what makes it official!
    Again...  thank you to everyone who participated and good luck to all of our finalists!!

    I would suggest only including masseurs who advertise on MF/RM/A4A and even then, details about "extras" should not be very specific. Licensed professionals/spa workers, in the US at least, could have their reputations and/or licenses threatened. In these cases, I think vague forum comments and direct messages are best.

    He also talks a LOT so if that’s a deterrent then yes. I saw him because he was convenient for me as he lives close by but agree that are better masseurs out there.

    I think prior consensus was not to go down the rabbit hole.
