New Forum Names - Stage 1 - CLOSED (Discussion)

[Qwerty]

Thanks to triumvir approval, we are no longer to be focusing on dan-ball. As a general forum, we can obviously no longer be called the dan-ball forum.

This thread is to suggest new names. Later, I will make a second thread using the new names in a poll (only serious names, sorry, Nmagane). The poll will determine the new name.

Current names:

DBF (just DBF, not standing for anything)
Terribad Industries
Timesink Forum
DELTA (Design, Entertainment, Life, Technology, Artistics)
FFS Forums
Pointless Posts
INTREPID (Ideas, Networks, Technology, Recreation, Entertainment, Programming, Interaction, Debate)
The Supreme Porpoises
The Intense T's
Space Dog Alpha Patrol Unit One
Interior Crocodile Alligators
The Raging Weasels
The Unofficial Dave-Box Forums
The Vengeful Whiskers
Domination Rehabilitation Station
Galaxy Worms
The Dwarven Alliance
Quartz Code
Tourmaline Code
Ruby Code
Opensource forums
ALBOE
Galaxy Worms

This thread is no longer about new names. It is now soley for discussion of the name change.

Changing the name won't do anything. If we want to become a general forum, you'll need to actually do something I.E. building our forum from the ground up without any Dan-Ball influence.

You can't just change the name and say "oh look we're general now." This is just going to be like every other time where when we actually choose to do something nothing will get fucking done and people will complain.

Shame though because we are the only Forums that discuss Dan-Ball. Not much now but still a little bit. If I knew how I would make a new new DBF.

[Qwerty]

I'm gonna trim all names that are non-general or obviously a joke. Obviously we can't be the Bestiality forums...

[nmagain]

FUN
fuck you ni**ers

[Necrotising Fasciitis]

DBF is fine. We all know it as that and its not a damn weird name or anything

[nmagain]

Quartz Code
Tourmaline Code
Ruby Code (lol ruby)
Opensource forums
The Republic of Niger

[Qwerty]

I think I'll actually insert another stage between this and voting, in another thread. Each name will have to get at least two nominations (including the suggester) before they will be considered for the actual poll. The list is far too long to skip to the poll stage.

[priok]

P̈̈raskajablew Viiskätelle is the best name on this whole page. Or use something like Zharwelm Proskyjatera

We need to respect the other people...on this Universe.

[izacque]

I think you're joking priok! Even though other people speak other languages, most of us speak english. it is not fair to us to pay no respect to ourselves!

[Qwerty]

I'm limiting names to those easily pronounceable in English, sorry.

I am not joking about any of them.

[Qwerty]

When should I cut name suggestions and move to the second phase? Three days should be enough, right?

[Spark]

I have a suggestion!

New forum name suggestions are now closed. This thread is now for discussion of the new name only.

---

The other threads are for voting only, so I'll put my discussion and reasoning here.

DBF is fine. It doesn't need to be an acronym for anything. We wouldn't have to adjust to the habit of calling it by a new name or anything like that (And we WOULD keep calling it DBF some times, just out of habit), and we don't have to worry about a misleading name that makes us seem like we're a forum that we aren't (like QuartzCode). DELTA I'd be fine with, mostly cause of the related symbol and the fact that it keeps us in the Ds. INTREPID I'd be fine with it the acronym for it weren't long, misleading, redundant, and many other things an acronym should not be. Timesink is both general and accurately reflects the forum's effect, plus we could probably come up with a good logo for that involving time and a sink (maybe even a whole theme), so that's good.

EDIT: Teensy problem. Timesink Forum is taken. So is INTREPID. And Pointless Posts.. And Space Dog Alpha Patrol Unit One (nay, I jest).

So, yeah. We can't exactly use a forum name that is already being well-used. The AV system takes care of this if we decide to exclude those names that are taken.

[Fringe Pioneer]

Ok, Timesink Forum and INTREPID (accursed Rebel scum) have been taken, but Pointless Posts is a sub-forum in The SEO Bay's Forum much like General is a sub-forum in the Dan-Ball Forum. The name of a sub-forum is hardly grounds for dismissing a name, not that I voted for Pointless Posts anyways...
