Renaming the Comics forum
« on: January 08, 2009, 01:46:39 AM »
We want to rename this forum.

The reason we want to do this is because we want to rename 'Hosted Fora' to 'Comics', and then move this forum out of 'Geek Stuff' and into the newly renamed 'Comics' group. Nothing else will change about this sub-forum, just what it's grouped in with.

You can see how it would be a bit confusing if it were to keep its name.

So please post your suggestions for new names for this forum. We'll have a poll later, to choose a winner.

What happens if Zch ever ends up hosting a forum that's not a comic, then, out of curiosity?

As for suggestions...hm...

"The Pullbox" (possibly overused)
"ZetaCon" (no, ignore that one, it kind of freaks me out thinking about it)
"The Comic Bin" is kinda generic, but denotes a misc. bin of comics. Or "The Grab Bin" or something. Shit, I can't remember what most places call the boxes of misc. comics. Something along those lines.
"Sequential Addicts" perhaps? Though that probably only seems clever to me...

I have no idea, but am totally confident we would find a solution should that ever happen.

Maybe 'Sequential Art' as that is the best alternative name for comics I know of.

Yeah, but that would be kinda redundant...it'd be like saying "Comics" again. I think it needs to be something that defines it as "Everything that's not those other comics - don't you talk about those other comics here, you fucking son of a bitch."

...Hm. Could we call it that?

We could split it into a webcomics section and a deadtree section.

And/or call the other ones "Hosted Comics" or "Featured" comics, or some such.

How about it gets moved to the end of the list of comics and is entitled "None of the Above"?

Why not something as simple as "All Other Comics"; no need to be fancy.

If we want to raise our google hits we could always call it the "Tijuana Bible Miley Cyrus Olsen Twins Naked Busty Furry BSDM GLBT BBQ ASAP Natural Penis Enhancement Gang Bang" forum.

Or we could just create a seperate forum in which we dicuss all these things.

I think you're right cnu. The more words such as: cum, lick, fetish, asian, mansickle, bootylicious, hentai, bukakke, cunt, clit, hitler fan-fic, or sexeroid; the more hits this forum will get. But you shouldn't use those words because then the forum would just end up full of perverts. Nobody wants that.

I'm casting my vote with "Inkblot", that sounds nice and slick.

Simplify, simplify:

How about "comics discussion" or "general comics" or "about comics"?

I like General Comics, I find fancy names for fora to be flowery and non-useful.
