In case some of you didn't notice, 3DSpotlight is onw Techspot.com.....yeah I know, but it took me all day to finally notice !!!

:shrug: kinda weird, i dunno if i like it or if i hate it yet. Is the url for this site gonna change to techspot.com or will we be able to use 3dspotlight.com?

i am still wondering why it's changing name.

Be patient young lads All will be explained in time....

I believe its to do with the name reflecting the sites content encompassing more than just 3d/Video info, guides and reviews...

But I am sure Julio will post a news entry with full details soon enough

quite right. its a much more of an all encompassing technical one-stop. I dare say i'd have very little to write about or post on if it was just 3d cards and games....

What?!? We would get some peace and quiet
I'm sure we will all get to know and love the name just as we do with 3ds *sob*
When you consider how popular gamespot is this could be quite a good move for 3ds.
TechPlanet could also have been a good name.

www.techplanet.com site

I must say, the sudden name change caught me by surprise.

Precisely what I was thinking.

What was wrong with the old name?

I liked the old name though

But I suppose it will be saving me 3 keypresses to type in the new URL.

I didn't see it until after I'd checked 2 of the forums... And only then because the Opera Suddenly said "TechSpot OpenBoards"...

Guess I'm not that observant today...


As for the name change... I'd grown very much to like the name "3dspotlight"... But the new name doesn't sound that bad..

Just hope Julio keeps the old URL up as well, as many sites link to our guides, forum threads etc...

You Remember Julio said (before the contest) that a business deal was in the works; but couldn't announce it yet.

Nope, people would have to make do with your inferior intellect in place of my superior one.

I imagined it would be something similar.

Supposedly Techspot is a more growth potential name if I recall Julio correctly.
Makes sense, I mean like check our forums, we get 2 million or so hits a month (Last time I asked) but our Forums are still comparatively inactive. I mean, there's a good few sites out there in the few hundred thousands that seem to have much greater forum activity & all.

if i remember correctly, long long time ago, 3ds was a site for gaming news.
as time going on, it become more and more like a computer news site.

um... www.geekzone.com is open :shrug: I dont really mind the name change, at least they didnt change the format of the forums again, now THAT takes a while to get used to.

I think when Julio initially setup it was a Rendition fan site.

WOW, I feel better now that I know I wasn't the only one to miss the name change. Can't wait to hear the full explaination !!

Official announcement is now up... let me know of any questions you may have.
