COMMENTS REQUESTED: Changing the name and branding of this website
Calum:
i think you could easy make at least a bit of money here, you'd have to sell stuff big time though...
I like the non-profanity new domain name idea, but i think that all "fuck microsoft" searches and current URLs should still be active, and i also think that the logos should stay as fuckmicrosoft if it was a fuck URL that got the person here in the first place. I like the whole fuckmicrosoft.com concept, but i think some people are a bit 19th century about it, or they have kids or whatever.
willysnout:
Some suggested names:
dumpmicrosoft
microsoftstinks
overthrowmicrosoft
nomicrosoft
I think your idea of removing the profanity is excellent. Some things to focus on:
- Privacy
- Linux for Dummies
- Microsoft's business practices
- Shareware, freeware and alternatives
Section off a part of the website for the wild comments, and focus the rest on non-Microsoft alternatives.
And one more thing: Do it for love, not money. In that regard, stay away from Silicon Valley and especially the venture capitalists. Take it from someone very experienced in that side of things: Silicon Valley is a nest of criminals at the top. The minute you start coveting those BMWs you are sliding into oblivion right with them.
Sun and Oracle are every bit as bad as Microsoft. Keep your independence. If you're good at what you do, eventually the money will come.
psyjax:
Please! Webmaster!! Don't ever turn off the profanity in the forums.
That is just unfair and contrary to the sites motive of freedom from opression and censorship. That which M$ stands for.
I want the right to say Fuck whenever I fucking please :D
Master of Reality:
they might mistake us for a charity fundraising research for multiple scerosis
sporkme:
::head explodes::
ok... so we pull off an about.com-style anti-ms angle, loose the fuck-face of the site, and pull in more open exchange of ideas where profanity is a concern. i think we just may reach the masses~~~
this will take help (volunteer work) from fuckmicrosoft people if you ask me...
oh, and i like the freemypc addy
keep it looking like the ms site for sure, the irony is not lost on anyone who has been there.
