yeah, it's really pretty much perfect except for the length (which really isn't so bad). |

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. _________________

kinda though. more importantly though is that when it's mashed all up as one word, it's still legible. |

i guess the smart idea would be to make a bookmark but if you are a dumb guy like me and do not do that then you have to type www.becausevideogames.com/forums or whatever every time and i get tired after doing that like once
edit: oh yeah i forgot to say that AAAAAAAA I DONT LIKE TYPING THAT is kind of a dumb reason to dislike a name (it is not obscenely long either) so if that is the prevailing name then i say go for it.
what i mean is do not listen to me |

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

This is the only option.
Though I also could go with super-combo, bossrush, or life force. Anything but select button, I'm sorry. |

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? _________________ where were you when nana komatsu got a wii?

I think the winners here are hitbox and giantenemycrab.
They both have a lot of character!

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. _________________

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 _________________

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. _________________ I love how all of a sudden there are all these "newbies" starting threads about all the problems with the PS3 that they're having. Seems like a conspiracy to me. |

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. _________________
