not bad, but you might get a better feel for the name if you ask the next fat guy you see, if he likes to be refered to as portly. My guess is he dosn't, hence the big&tall franchise

If you develop it and .us picks up maybe then it will be "good"

The name grew on me

Unfortunately, I think you overestimate the literacy of the general public. Big and Tall they will get. Portly they may not. imho.

As americans men get bigger and fatter, the need for larger size clothes becomes more of an issue. If! .us takes off and becomes "widely" accepted, then I believe "Portly.us has a good chance to gain invalue.

I just went to Portly.com, for the first time since my last post on Portly.us. Portly .com is a porn site for fat girls. Is this a negative or positive?

 

[DNS Kidd]

Sell it to them, it's a positive.

I agree with a previous poster. It would be more valuable to them than to be used as a portlyman's site IMO. Ppl prefer euphemisms like "full-figured" (women) or "big" (men) and portly is not one of these terms even though it just means wider at the stomach area (I Think). Chunky, chubby, doughboy etc are also not that great either.

I keep seeing on CNN news, about how americans are getting fatter all the time. Is this a positive for portly.us?

 

[namedropper]

No, that's a positive for fatter.com. Between picking an uncommon word and being a .us this just doesn't add up to anything.

The name sounds irritating if not outright offensive. But sometimes such names do click. So keep your fingers crossed.
