The whole value of the product, seems to me, is the low profile (compared to roller skates, inline skates, and skateboards, all of which are clunky). Product name should speak to that
OffLiners
HideGliders
Hide Rides
Stealth Rollers
Walk 'n Glides
Step 'n Rolls |

> OffLiners
You're kidding, right? Tell me you're kidding. The word 'blunder' is applicable here.
> HideGliders
> Hide Rides
Sounds like crappy knockoff names.
> Stealth Rollers
A name of another product entirely.
> Walk 'n Glides
> Step 'n Rolls
Kitschy beyond compare. |

Hold on. Wait a minute.
You RUN this site.....and you're flaming me?
...as I'm trying to offer help?
Gosh, maybe I'm not great at naming products. But you suck at running web sites. And I don't claim to be a product namer. |

No, if I had wanted to flame you, I would have called you a measly, insignificant goblin with a penchant for recto-cranial inversion. But I didn't.
Everyone has bad ideas from time to time, so don't be surprised when people start pointing them out. |

So, the name "Haileys" does suggest some appropriate qualities...
The very shoe you wear can make you a hero (or heroine)!
Here's some synonyms: ace, adventurer, celebrity, champion, combatant, conqueror, daredevil!
Looks like a perfect fit to me  |

Yeah Jimbo ..
Don't worry, slice wasn't flaming you. He's just a critic, in the professional sense. You should see what I get for my attempts at humor.

Considering that a steady rolling motion makes moving while shooting easier than the up-and-down motion of running, it's easy to see why.
In the immortal words of MC Hawking, all my shootings be drive-bys. |

Actually, I founded and run one of the Internet's best known and loved forums with well over a million participants. The way we grew to that size was by cultivating a friendly, respectful atmosphere, which attracts friendly respectful participants.
The altnerative is to foster the sort of atmosphere where angry little people (including sysops) scream "idiot" at each other from the anonymity of their computer monitor. Ick. Not my kind of thing. But to each his/her own.
Bye, all. |

I think he's pretending to be Jimbo Wales of Wikipedia. It's not working. Try again next life.
This guy sent me a bitchy PM asking why I wasn't keeping his email private when he made it available for anyone to click on, right in his profile. I obliged him and removed his email from the site entirely. GTFO. |
