IMO if we keep TC in the name, might just as well leave it like it is.

Thank you everyone for participating in this very important topic. Your ideas, suggestions, and input has been very helpful. Some of you obviously have put a lot of time and effort into it.
Unfortunately, we won't be awarding anyone $100. We've decided to go with a name I already owned. I think this topic shows how very difficult it is to come up with a name that's short, meaningful, memorable, and most importantly available. There were some great names here, but they were taken. Usually, not even in use by a site, but by someone hoping to sell it for a profit. With some of the prices they're asking, I can see why. From PCDoctor at 1.5 million, to SecurityExperts.com for $40K.
We decided to go with a name that didn't contain spyware, malware, or security. While the focus of this site is clearly computer security, and likely will be for a long time, there is also quality help provided in the Other Computer Problems forum. It is probably long overdue some more attention, and expansion. Also, while TomCoyote is a terrific "brand", the fact remains that we are changing the name of the site. Keeping TC in the name just didn't feel right.
TomCoyote.org will now be known as... WhatTheTech.com!
