Why dont you call it IT_trade or something people will remember ?<br>
Instead of some subluminal geeky_nerdy name prone to be forgotten in no
time? <br>
and if you are afraid people will use it as a commercial tool then stay
in control by making sure they understand it is only give away or trade
in/out e.g. no money.<br>
Just ideas, but a list like that seems to be more than needed. I am
just about to rubbish a PC and need some SODIMM in exchange.<br>
Cheers<br>

I'm with Mark here. Also, if a URL was to be obtained or considered, the
name should conceivably contain geek (given that we have .geek.nz
domains, but not .nerd.nz) :)
But geek/nerd + cycle may lead to some confusion as to the target
demographic. Few geeks and nerds I know are into cycling.
Freecycle use their name because it sounds like recycle, but
geek/nerd-cycle is a step removed from that pun. And if you choose to
stick to it anyway, I recommend investigating the trademark issues on
the name because Freecycle is part of a global network but they have a
TM on their logo:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.freecycle.org/">http://www.freecycle.org/</a>
<ianal>If your name is similar, that may have legal
implications.</ianal>
