Whats in a name?

With the new mini content release www.eq2llinks.com has over 50k items available, over 200k drop locations (collections included) I've been asked recently why did I start an item database site (www.eq2llinks.com). To be honest I said, why not? I missed www.eq2linky.com and wanted something that wasn't client side heavy as eq2idb. Recently I've seen a few other Item sites pop up... And I'm looking to expand eq2llinks.com to be the best site available site. But I am hitting a road block when it comes to content. I am currently the only one supporting the site and am unable to do content changes on the scale that is needed. So, whats in a name? Why did I choose eq2LLinks. Well... I have an affinity for double letters in user names, and I like the sound of eq2links, but alias that domain name was taken. What I really wanted to do was make a name that people would remember, and I think the LL makes it distinct enough that its hard to forget the domain (for me it is at least). To be fair I have some up and coming sites that do a very good job (in some ways better than my site) take the poll so I can figure out where I stand in the TINY world of in game item links. I'm actively looking for help. send an e-mail to webmaster(@)eq2llinks.com. Remove the ( around the ) @ to send the e-mail or just type out the real e-mail address. =) I think with a little more polish and some additional features, the website would be the best by far. =)

I use the eq2idb web interface and prefer it to any other program/site out there because of the nice advanced search parameters and the one button link copy (in Forefox too! not just ie)

When it first came out it was very laggy and required a lot of web traffic to get what was needed to search and whatnot. I do not know what it's like anymore =) That was over a year ago, i hope that the client has seen performance increases since then =)
