I like One Coin but "because videogames. . ." is the superior in-joke. Because it's older. Yes that's how it works.

Wondering if I would join such a forum.

i didn't have IC bookmarked, but after "www.i" firefox does the rest.

No, it's not the typing in that makes length a problem. Longer names just generally don't look as nice.

I'm not a huge fan of becausevideogames.com

It's too long and it's kind of awkward. And honestly I think onecoin.com would stand on its own a lot better. It's a lot catchier, anyway.

However if everyone else continues to be this enthusiastic about it I won't really have much of a choice will I.

edit: yeah, see what dmauro says. I'd like a URL that looks good in a banner and in a hyperlink.

Also it's an injoke... which I'm sort of opposed to in principle.

Whatever though. I'm not ruling it out. Does anyone have any other ideas just to humor me?

I really like the idea of linking forums.becausevideogames.com on my lollerjournal.

I think the winners here are hitbox and giantenemycrab.

They both have a lot of character!

becausevideogames is too long.

I dislike it. it lacks subtlety and it's long. it's too straightforward; it might as well be "I get the point"

focus groups are a poor means of deciding creative things.

Yeah but what is it with all these associations with money ?

Penny Arcade - Insert Credit - One Coin ?

Unless you guys what to make this move on purpose.

JamesE · Posted: Tue Nov 28, 2006 12:25 pm Post subject:

Save one coin for something you want to do, toups!

becausevideogames.com is really easy to say to someone and remember. That's a strength!

I feel pretty okay about "hitbox" but honestly it doesn't actually mean anything besides being a nice compact videogame word.

Becausevideogames is even worse than onecoinproject Sad

becausevideogames.com is catchy and isn't so horribly injoke. One-coin sounds like some MAME challenge project and giantenemycrab is old.

Anything can look nice in a banner, trust me.

konamicondom is the only other one I can think of.

becausevideogames is nice, except that the acronym is so uncool. Sad

gutomatic · . Joined: 25 Nov 2006 Posts: 34 Location: Curitiba, Brazil

It involves ASCII gay cats

It comes from the MMOGC, or this java chat program where you controlled an ascii cat. I coined that the cats were infact "gay cats" and it stuck. So it became know as Massive Multiplayer Online Gay Cats. It was this Japanese java chatting program. AS the rest of the english world got pass the link to the program, insert credit some how got translated as "one coin". So if you said you were with "one coin" the japanese posters would accept you and actually talk with you (versus if you were from 4chan or IGN boards).

EDIT:Sorry Shaper, TGQ, just getting around the wordfilter for the point.

oh, okay I guess I have heard that one. It's definitely too in-jokey, and doesn't sound very cool. Plus 1C is all like, what? 1CC?
