As explained before, Slamtv was formerly an acronym for Seattle Local Access Metal TV, chosen hastily back in early 2003. It was quick, it was fairly catchy, it was easy to remember.
And popular, as I found out in 2004 when I was approached to sell the dotcom domain to British Mobile Entertainment providers SLAMTV. Since the domain only represented a forum on this site that had gotten less than a hundred views since posting it. Done-- who doesn't like a windfall of quick Ca$h?
These days? Well, I tried to register with the name when I started the youtube channel and was denied. Denied? WTF? I thought, and did a search for Slamtv-- sure enough, there is a Slamtv channel designer, and his chosen content is Professional Wrestling.
How awesome is that? What a perfect use of the name!
There has never been any conflict as to entitlement for use of the name, between myself or any of the other people who use it. There never will be, at least not perpetuated by me. To me, it represents the beginning of an idea, and that idea has evolved over time. In that spirit, I will be completely dropping all reference to the acronym by 2008, in favor of VIDEOCRISY, which is currently the name of the youtube channel, and will act as the company name for all content produced for broadcasting on cable and on the web. There is a story behind Videocrisy, as well, and it involves Slipknot-- but another time...
