EMSlife would be a more accurate forum name as there are many who are not "EMT's" that post on the forum. Just a suggestion.
EMTlife or EMSlife?

I registered the domain EMTLife back in 2001 as a place for me to blog my experience through the EMT-Basic program and life as an EMT.
In 2004 I created the EMTLife forum as a tool to gain employment as a EMT and the site grew slowly. Back when we started "The #1 Online Forum for EMS-Related Discussion" we were lucky to get one new thread a week, and we were a tiny community.
At this point it's just not possible to change the domain name to anything meaningful and short. All the good names are taken.
Just as important, with over 50% of our traffic coming from Google (more than 10,000 searches a week), I wouldn't want to lose the google content rankings that a new name would cause.
Lastly, and most importantly, EMTLife is a domain name. It doesn't necessarily define who we are or what we do. As an EMT I was a: stretcher fetcher, cleaner-upper, therapist, hand-holder, medical provider, Emergency Medical Technician, ambulance driver, and many other glamorous titles. A title doesn't make me who I am or define who we are.
We're the EMTLife community.

This thread was cleared out because after removing some non-polite posts, the rest didn't make sense.
