Sorry for getting off on that tangent. Back to the night of our meeting. I spent some time that night coming up with some website names. Knowing something about trademark law, I knew we couldn't use Boggle in the name. But, I also knew that we really didn't want to use Boggle in our name. We wanted to create our own brand. We didn't want to limit our free, fun, exciting, competitive, addictive, and a way to end boredom site to just having a Boggle game. But, it had to have a .com ending. While wordrampage.com may not be the best, it was available as a .com name. And, it sounded good. And the definition of rampage sort of fit the dichotomy of what a game of boggle is like at times. Here are some definitions:
| 1. | violent or excited behavior that is reckless, uncontrolled, or destructive. |
| 2. | a state of violent anger or agitation: The smallest mistake sends him into a rampage. The river has gone on a rampage and flooded the countryside. |
| 3. | to rush, move, or act furiously or violently: a bull elephant rampaging through the jungle. |
Sure, you could argue that maybe a bull elephant rampaging through the jungle, has nothing to do with an online boggle game. And you probably would be arguing with yourself. Because I'm not going to be the devil's advocate and take that other side!!! But, here is a hint if anyone reads this other than maybe leap :) btw leap, thanks for the nice comment on my last entry! Anyway back to the bull elephant. Guess what, I checked all of the screen names, and THAT one is still available. So, I would suggest you register it while you can!!! It won't last forever, unless no-one reads this post! :) I guess even if the whole world, or every boggle playing addict read this site, that name still could last forever! :)
Below are a few other site names that I came up with that we didn't use. If you like any of these, feel free to get them.
Thanks for reading this and thanks for playing wordrampage.com!
wordslolam.com - This sort of describes the game pretty well. Definition of Slolam-
"any winding or zigzag course marked by obstacles or barriers"
Some .net sites

I saw you advertising my name and you should know boggle and tangleword and even weboggle have a bull_elephant!
I tried the site and thought it looked okay. I only tried because those women are always yammering on about what fun it is and how that Mike and JB and so very sweet -gag-. I think they are calling the gang the rampettes or something.
So the site is okay. No lag, chat for them that like to talk with the fingers and an easy to figure out system. Only thing is those women talk with their fingers so much it's hard to beat em. Bull_elephants like to win so I'll be back to win one.
Good work JB and Mike and this bull don't say that much. Recommend my old Tangleword schmoes come on over.
Hi guys! Wanted to say that this site's been up about 3 1/2 weeks now I think and it's better than before!
I like the added feature of choosing your own background color - that lets everyone choose what works for them, how cool is that? We also asked for some time between games and tada ~~ JB took care of that for us. Then you added time stamps to the chat! Wow - what next? Hmmm, could there be a computer bot in our future? That way even when no one was here we could play against "someone"....that might be cool. But don't program the bot to be too smart!
So hey! Anyone looking for a fun game that's fast (3 min), furious and filled with competitive players come on over! We love newbies, beginners, anyone really ~~ come join us!
