Due to unfortunate circumstances in the battle to keep the domain name "Mercedesshop.com", the webmaster has decided to change the name to www.peachparts.com.

You'll notice that the current page is now under the new domain name and all bookmarks for Mercedesshop.com will be redirected to peachparts.com

Kindly change your existing bookmarks for Mercedesshop to reflect the new name..........the redirect won't be around forever.

B.C.


p.s.: The existing stickies will be returned in several weeks. The importance of this situation takes precedence.

Can't fight the big boys I guess. At least not cost effectively.
We sure have been domain-name neutered........

I tell friends that I hang out at Mercedesshop.com. Peachparts.com just doesn't have the same ring........

Well, when you get right down to it, I'm just glad I still have this place to come to!!

PeachParts? There wasn't a better (how PanzerSD put it) less "gay" name available? Nothing even automotive related?

What about MercedeShop.com? How do they get to keep their domain name? They offer service and sell parts too!

Our german friends have way more money than Bill.........the little guy always loses.

Agreed with the Gay assessment.

MerzShop.com is available... Better grab it fast before someone does!

Oh, so it was a copyright thing with Mercedes Benz?? I would have to capitulate to that one. But seriously, something even remotely related at least??
Dreistern.com (tri-star in German) I suppose the ETM on another Mercedes website is next on the list for (c) infringement? Peachparts...almost sounds like a name for a porn site. MBShop.com is also available.

PS: CRAP, I remembered, I had the sign guy next door to my shop on the hook to make me cool smoked glass decals that say Mercedesshop.com! Hope he hasn't made them up yet, or I'm out $40.

And why is this posted only in the Diesel discussion??

I am eternally grateful for this site, whatever it is called.

Everything everyone has done, and everything that is does for me
are beyond any amount I could possibly ever offer.

And peachparts it is...... but even germancars.org could possibly have
worked.....

Maybe there is a story behind the name peachparts ?

At least we could get a chuckle.

Thanks to everyone.

I'm ecstatic you were able to save the forum, but how are we going to get new people with peachparts.com as the domain name... Has the internet really run out of domain names? I'm concerned the new domain name is going to put the future of the site in serious jeopardy.

OH peachy, now I have to turn in my grill badge???

How about GERMANIRON.COM ? Maybe we can all submit names and throw them into the hat and see what comes up.

You would think Mercedes Benz would be honored we hold their cars with such high regard.

Just think about all the people that come and go looking at this forum, some that have quit and might want to come back and register. we will never be found again .

How long has the mercedesshop.com name been used, since the forum started? took them long enough to put the kabosh on it.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works

It looks that way, I just ran a bunch of possible alternatives through a site checker....all taken. Yikes.


So is Daimler AG going to buy up/lock away the Mercedesshop.com domain?

MBAUTOPARTS.BIZ is available!

How about a ridiculous name....like "germanautoswithathreepointstaronthehood-shop.com" I checked, its available!!!
