Christ. Why?

Edit: To clarify, I thought the hate was dying down on me. I haven't done anything too stupid recently. Trying so very hard here.

Actually, I barely have any idea what's going on here. I went and played FFXII for a day and suddenly the forums have disintegrated.

sup ging.

plus there was that pedo thread.

i'll still be your friend, though.

edit: to be productive, i kinda like one coin and insert cartridge

What pedo thread? What the fuck? I don't even like Nippon Ichi!

Why you all gotta hate so much?

Edit: This is not the place for this discussion actually.

And man, sometimes I just wanna sleep forever or spend the rest of my life drugged up, but I'll try not to mention it ok.

i mean weren't you the guy who had a dream about a 14 year old anime character that made you all depressed?

it's cool, though. i liked your banner alright.

also, the character in my avatar wants to sleep forever but at least he's doing something about it.

EDIT please use mmogc as an alternate domain. i'll pay, even.

I tried to continue recommending that we do the rotating name and decentralized domain thing, but Toups doesn't think that it's a popular option. We'd need one centralized thing to refer to it as, right?

I figured that we shouldn't be limited to picking names that have domains available, since that forces us to get weird. A lot of these suggestions are really, really reaching! If we do the rotating, decentralized route, then we don't have to pick The One True Domain Name. I think that something vanilla like savepoint or ambiguous like [?] which have no .com would suck less than forcing everyone to bend to a single .com.

At this point all we're doing is digging up all the reasons to hate the lone domain that Toups is ultimately going to pick for us anyway.

But yeah, he feels pressured right now because we're itchin' to be postin' somewhere other than here. Ah well. He'll pick something.

I wasn't going to contribute to this, since I don't care, but the rotating name thing is a terrible, terrible, terrible idea. It would render the site incapable of bulding any brand identity and confuse new people just so some people can have the name they like. Frankly, I think Toups should've just named the damn thing without asking the community, said "Here it is" and then we would've all gotten on with our lives.

I also said that to him. If he's just going to ignore our input and go with his gut anyway, then why isn't this all said and done already?

Trying to make everyone happy. A noble goal, sure, but not a very obtainable one.

There would be a central name. It just wouldn't be the central domain. We should be able to pick any name, regardless of whether there's a domain available.

Anyway, he's trying to make everyone happy by starting a thread specifically designed to find out why people hate the domains we get to pick from. In hopes of picking the least hated domain, of course! Which doesn't seem to be working very well.

Okay, so becausevideogames is owned by Rud13 (technically), selectbutton is owned by 108, then hardtype is supposedly now owned by somebody on IRC (?). I think that onecoin is forgettable, but whatever.

I still think we should register mmogc.com to the same IP address. It'll be an inside joke that won't detract from the branding and we'll snicker a bit every time we type it in.

Psiga, the cost of registering and maintaining these domains for all the years this site will hopefully still be around for isn't worth the in-joke. It's cute and it will be pointless and annoying before the first month is out, seriously.

I'm all for the liberal approach to choosing a name. For that you need concrete goals though. People working in the same direction and argumentation based on logic so that everyone involved can follow. I mean, sure it's hard. You either like a name or you don't. The first reaction is a feeling and that is not something debatable. Still, how do marketing groups work this kind of thing out?

Making this a one man decision is bad in several ways... one being that the interests of the group won't be fairly represented. Another thing is the weight that is put on that one person that has to decide. But yeah, if you need quick decisions instead of a fair one then a leader is a very good idea.

It's just... Toups is contradicting himself a bit. And a mix between being liberal and a dictator is a bad idea in my eyes. Sorry Toups! But I know you think about that stuff as well and you are just interested in doing the right thing(R).

Are any of you going to stop following the community if you don't like the name? Be honest, here.

It's not that big of a deal.

Guys, let's not get too hung up on the name. Whatever happens happens, and we could probably get used to a bad one. Let's not take the arguing thing too far.

Yeah, what he said.

taking the arguing thing too far.

honestly. to some the name is not important, to some it is. to some the black background is not important, to others it is.

Now tell me: Those that do not care about the name. What should they do? Tell everyone else to also not care?

Edit: But yeah, I can see that things aren't of equal importance to everyone. It's not like anyone is saying "HAVE A STRONG OPINION ON THIS SHIT OR YOU AREN'T ALLOWED IN!" It's all relaxed and in good spirit. I for one like to think things through. Maybe I'll even be good at it one day?

Hey, why don't we call it the Toups Show? ToupsShow.com? ToupsShow.tv? We can sell merch to pay for bandwidth costs. I'd buy a T-Shirt.

I really don't know why people are discounting certain names because they "don't make much sense" or "need to be explained"

So?

Do they really need to make sense? I mean, is hardtype.com really better because some people know it is sort of refering to, like, FFIV or something? One Coin doesn't need to make sense. It sounds kind of cool and ii fits the community, so I like it. The others are lame.

I vote newgamesjournalism.com

Not select button or because videogames, though. Sorry Sad
