You are attacking a good problem - organizing events. However, right now I'm hung up on the name - I can't picture someone recomending 'gutmeet' to their friends. It makes me think of the inside of a butcher shop.

Another vote on this one. Gutmeet makes me think of animal (me[e/a]t) guts

Agreed. My first thought was "is this a meetup site for 30+ year old looking to extend their already robust beer gut?"

hee. I was thinking of gut feeling and meeting people spontaneously. and Gut actually means GOOD in German. Just a bit bkgrnd information.

Dude, I am so old this site's name made me think of a Digital Underground album track:

http://www.amazon.com/Gutfest-89-Edit-LP-Version/dp/B001227I...

I also not like the name but as most good domains are taken is it not a case of go with what you can get?

Thanks for the advice~ I would changen it definitely. Gut doesn't sounds good with meet/meat.

Totally. It's a good area to tackle, but that name definitely has to go.
