> [@LurkMeister](#): > > Yes, that is the source of the name. There were, however, a few jesting comments made along the lines of “Who’s Bo and why are we asking him/her to do us?” It’s also some ancient mammoth kill site in Oklahoma, for those interested. I didn’t know that, though, when I registered the name. ---

[Moderator note] Just to reiterate what **Gfactor** said, let’s keep personal bickering out of this thread. And let’s keep any discussion related to the new board civil. Colibri Moderator ---

I’m totally down with the new site, but my perusal of this board and Domebo has about equalized. It’s a good alternative when the Dope seems a little dry at times. There’s a whole different vibe going on at Domebo, I wouldn’t say it’s better than what we have here (this’ll always be my MB home), it’s just different but familiar. Like going over a friend’s house for a little more fun and creativity. ---

Like going over a friend’s house for a little more fun and creativity. That is a great point. I am at [domebo.net](http://domebo.net) more at this point, but I am not giving up the Dope. I like too much about this place to give it up. I can’t keep up with all three boards though. I find I rarely visit Giraffe’s and it also looks good. ---

> [@Capt.Ridley\_s\_Shooting\_Party](#): > > Yeah, the DNS was changed yesterday, and it usually takes 48–72 hours to propagate throughout the Internet. Most people in Europe should be able to use the URL, and many American posters are also reporting that it’s working for them, now. I haven’t been able to access the domebo board for several days…is it the fact that I’m in France? I keep getting the message, “Language file ./language/fr/mods/notify\_moderators.php couldn’t be opened.” Any ideas, domebo folks? ---

I thought it was worth mentioning that Chat was added to Domebo last night and appears to be a big hit. All Dopers are more than welcome to come over and use it. I understand the existing chat room is pretty slow most of the time. The chat is at the bottom of the board index. ---

\If you have something of interest that’s related to another board, then you should post it on that other board.
