COMMENTS REQUESTED: Changing the name and branding of this website

<< < (4/9) > >>

Gooseberry Clock:
Shouldn't be too hard to change the images depending on the domain, although I'm not quite sure what we're gonna do about the board. We could even go so far as to have two separate boards.

Calum:
no, that would be shit. people would not read one or the other and posts would be duplicated. Why reinvent the wheel?

voidmain:
I can't believe it, I actually understood the last few messages that Goose posted. Is he becoming civilized?  Maybe he's alright after all?  Shit, I hope I didn't just ruin it, now he'll probably go back to his old ways of posting incoherent drivel...

psyjax:
I don't care eather way. Whatever is in the best interest of the site I say. The only thing I would ask is that you still keep fuckmicrosoft as an alternet domain name. Just advertise the G-rated version.

I neab, even tho the MES is registered I still reffer to the site as fuckMicrosoft  :D

pkd_lives:
So here is a suggestion. Why don't you try to get some publicity first. Approach some magazines and explain your case, then at the end drop the info about the site name and alternatives. See what they think, how they react first. If it's negative see if they will consider you after a rename.

Try and get yourself into those site of the day type things, maybe after judging reaction by the general public you can decide if you want to change the name. When I told my roommates they laughed.

Your biggest barrier may not be the name, it may be the content. It may be seen as inflamatory, derogatory or insulting. Despite the fact that these forums contain useful comments, intelligent thought (from time to time) and often seem to attract a better class of discussion than many of the forums out there (I speak in general terms, there are of course exceptions).
