What do you feel about the name Trap17 .. What impression do you get about the site.

[wassie]

it depends,
because you get other understandings all over the world. because you have other languages.
in dutch "trap" means "stairs"
so you get something like 17 stairs

but in english you can understand trap as a snare
so there are 17 snares

little strange name if you ask me.
if you want more people to go here to look for hosting.
you gotta change it to www.hosting-for-posting.com
or something like that

"trap17" in itself has little meaning to me. Only when you dissect the two components will it make an impression.

It sounds devious because of the word "trap," which of course means to catch somebody or something unawares. "17" might connote something minor, since it's not 18

What exactly does it mean?

[Ariel]

I like this name, really, the first time that i saw i think in spiderman!!! (i dont know why!!!) but, i like this name!!!

[Etherion]

Pretty indifferent to most of the people here but I don't know...

Trap :

A device in which something (usually an animal) can be caught and penned
Drain consisting of a U-shaped section of drainpipe that holds liquid and so prevents a return flow of sewer gas
Something (often something deceptively attractive) that catches you unawares
A device to hurl clay pigeons into the air for trapshooters
The act of concealing yourself and lying in wait to attack by surprise
Informal terms for the mouth
A light two-wheeled carriage
A hazard on a golf course
Place in a confining or embarrassing position
Catch in or as if in a trap
Hold or catch as if in a trap
To hold fast or prevent from moving

[harad]

trap in polish - heh there is no such word :-)

be careful, because the name can be interpretated as Crap17 :-)

anyway - why 17? traphost or something similar would make the name easier to remember.

and sorry for my english

greetz.

[andyy15]

I think Harad is right the number might actually make your website harder to remember for some people. I suggest eliminating the number. If you do something like traphosting people will know right away what your website is about.

[harad]

first the admin should install ipb 2.0
that's for sure :-)

anyway better name trap17, than [insert your other hosts :-)]

[Neo]

17 yr old admin making some trap by asking to ****lick **ds . and then will dissapear soon. Hehe...

[Assassin]

Ahaha.Probably because spidey has a web which is also a trap to trap predators^^I am fine with this name.It doesn't matter about the name as long as the source is reliable.Name matters only when you are going to login xD Without a name to login no login for you^^So really,name dont matter to me^^

[Spectre]

I think that the name is fine. Personally, I wouldn't have chosen a name with any digits in it, but it seems to fit.

Out of curiosity, what does the name symbolize?

harad, Invision Power Board 1.3 is free. v2 is not. If you are offering to pay for it, then I'm sure the admin wouldn't mind.

[CodeName_88]

The name is fine with me, maybe the trap #17??

[twoq]

trap0~trap17 .......
trap18~trap48 .......

[znithy]

In chinese , 17 is similar to ALL in pronunciation.
so..trap all..I think...

[Florisjuh]

A Trap for all... since Znithy says 17 is all in chinese punctuation...

[neopetshelp2004]

I like it...
