What kind of domain..?

What kind of domain of domain do you go after when making an arcade site.

Currently I am planning my soon to be arcade sites. I tend to stray away from the word "arcade", "play", "games" and etc. I want to have brandable type domain. Out of the domains I own, four of them I plan to make arcade sites. And one of them, have the word "arcade" in it.

So what domains do you guys go after when making an arcade site?

I tend to go for the word "arcade", "play", "games" and etc...
Sorry couldnt resist

Your post is a tad cryptic. You can almost make anything brandable. Can you explain why your trying to stay away from a DN that wil lhave a KW in it?

The Middle School I went to would banned sites, by the domain name. If it had proxy, arcade and etc in the domain it would be banned.

But thats all they checked, they didnt check the content, title and etc.

I think you're right about choosing a domain that can be brandable and I too have heard that many schools block any domain with game etc in it.

I can't really explain what makes certain domains catchy or brandable. In my opinion out of all the sites I've owned, flashrehab.com is the best idea for a domain that I've ever typed into the godaddy search. Something about the name just seems really good to me as if it were a name that people will remember to visit again. The term "rehab" is used a lot in the news maybe?

I think brandable names might be a better idea than a variation of common terms if the words in the brandable name is good enough. Other examples of existing arcade sites with that type of domain would be gubug.com craverz.com newgrounds.com Those domains seem more brandable than generic flashgames.com. Someone that visits a site like flashgames.com could just as well be visiting another game domain as far as they're concerned. Nothing memorable about the title.
