Alright, the time has come to vote on new names for the forum. Each user may vote for one name - no more. Please also explain why you chose the name for which you're voting over the other names, else your vote won't be counted. Choose wisely, since this will label us for outsiders and will be the first impression of our forum. Thank you. EDIT: Instead of voting for only one name, you may vote for as many of the names as you like, provided that you rank them in order of preference. For those who already voted, you may either edit your existing post or post anew.In alphabetical order: - DBF
- Design, Entertainment, Life, Technology, Artistics
- Galaxy Worms
- Ideas, Networks, Technology, Recreation, Entertainment, Programming, Interaction, Debate
- Pointless Posts
- Quartz Code
- Space Dog Alpha Patrol Unit One
- Terribad Industries
- Timesink Forum
- The Unofficial Dave-Box Forums

We need a reason?
Anyway, DBF.
It's clean, simple, references our past, and just sounds generally cool.

DBF. I kinda wish we were using AV, as my vote feels rather unprotected without it. Too late to change?
EDIT: Thanky.

QuartzCode, it sounds very cool and can have a very nice layout made for it. It also sounds pretty general without being something like "Boring Stuff Forum." The look of the letters is also very good, one important thing to designing a name is to come up with an exciting word or phrase.

DBF. We're not a programming forum (yet), so it doesn't make sense to call ourselves one. I think DBF should be our name on everything. If anyone asks, we should say it stands for "Dave-Box Forums", but don't put "Dave-Box forums" on anything, it'll just look dumb.

QuartzCode as it matches the theme of the site and has a cool name.

INTREPID
I believe that INTREPID could be a symbol as well as a name. The definition for INTREPID describes the forum, and each individual word that the letters stand for will be what we do... INTREPID stands for the things that can sum up our forum. DELTA was another possible choice of mine, and even though others have gone against the "Programming" aspect, I chose the more in-depth set. Note that we are associated with programming, and do not necessarily have to be a programming forum... Simply another statement of mine.
Vs.:
DBF - I don't like the idea of DBF, as people would ask what DBF came from. Various responses would be given, and the opening to our forum's past might be given. I wish to begin anew as a different forum.
DELTA - Had I not voted for INTREPID, I would have voted for DELTA. DELTA is simpler, INTREPID is larger. In comparison, I believe they hold good probability as names.
Galaxy Worms - A nice idea, but I went for a more defining approach to our name.
Pointless Posts - I found this as another creative name, and an abstract name that might draw attention. However, as with "Galaxy Worms", I chose the more serious choice.
Quartz Code - I don't think that I fully understand the full potential of this name, or get it at first glance. The meaning is vague, and at first sight one might think that it is a programming forum, "Quartz Code Forum".
Space Dog Alpha Patrol Unit One - An interesting name, but I don't think that it gives us a name to live up to. It's just a bit strange.
Terribad Industries - I find this as another of my top picks, with its fitting creativity for a forum name.
Timesink Forum - The sound of it was okay, and I would put it as a 7/10, but not my top pick.
The Unofficial Dave-Box Forums - The Unofficial DBF, is what it sounds like to me. I don't like that. As well as the fact that Dave-Box has no definite link to anything, and is simply a place holder.
That is all.

QuartzCode Get rid of all Dan-Ball shit and everything related to DBF. Start something new and fresh. Also: quartzcode.com/ I think that site is dead, or it could be just starting.

Well, after some musing and a discussion with both FoxtrotZero and Nmagane, it seems I can go ahead to allow something else for the voting.
Instead of voting for only one name, you may vote for as many of the listed names as you want in order of preference. You may choose either to edit existing posts to do so or to make new ones instead...

Do we really need a name? Can't we just go as "The Forum"? We're pretty general if we talk about anything, and if there's conflict with another forum (which will arise, because of such a generic name...) then we'll cross that bridge when it comes. I don't particularly like any of the suggested names. I also don't have any decent suggestions...
[LAZY EDIT] I guess I'll throw a vote in for INTREPID, because why the hell not.

Well, you should have suggested the empty string or "The Forum" in the nominations thread. Since nominations are over, we have to vote for the nominated names...

I'm going to assume you meant "name," in which case I'm afraid to say that there's an overwhelming move to get a new name. You can vote for DBF, which is basically just the original name's acronym with the meaning behind it removed, but other than that it seems the current name reflects an interest that we decided doesn't really fit us anymore...
