I liked that.

Here is something I offered in a recent thread at naturalselection.com, where blackjackel (from our NS server) was looking for a name for his server:

Quote:

I remember about seven or eight years ago listening to an analyst discuss names on the consumer's Internet, which was relatively young at the time.

At the time, both Amazon and Infoseek existed and sold competing services/products. Both were beginning to expand their target market into broader demographics with a wider array of product and service lines. I remember the analyst praising Amazon for its choice in naming itself, as, while the "Infoseek" name was very appropriate when dealing in books, it's not terribly appropriate when you're trying to deal in electronics, kitchen appliances, clothes, and whatever the hell else you can buy at Amazon today. Names like Yahoo, Google, eBay, Amazon... these allow the owner of the entity to go anywhere with the product or service being offered without having to redefine the name. I mean.. Amazon... you think... "BIG"... and that's exactly what it's become. Think abstract... something that will allow you to change with the times, just in case you decide it's necessary you do so.

Meh.. but it's just a name. If your server offers what a mass of players seeks, it will be active pretty much regardless of its name. Good luck finding a name with which you're satisfied.

A rose by any other name and such. I hope that helps.

You say that like it's some sort of insult.

* beats chest *

Damn straight I'm a geek. lol

nickhastapee · 03-10-2005, 04:04 PM

I think that you are a geek when you belong to a gaming community.(coughs the word "geeks") But of course this makes me a geek too.

so for a name it could be tactical geek, or maybe tactical gamer jr. lol

[D.I]WILDCHILD · 03-10-2005, 04:09 PM

well i am a uber-geek,so i only intended it in the "good" sense.two things need pointing out here nick
1.with a spray like that you must be a geek,don't kid yourself.
2.i don't see a name suggestion,at least not a serious one.

There's a possible unfavorable connotation? Lies!

**kormendi** · 03-10-2005, 05:10 PM

I think the word tactical should be avoided in the name suggestions. He's not trying to copy this community.

Its important to know what your target audience is. For example, if you are trying to appeal to an older audience Geriatric Gamer may be a good choice. Or perhaps you want to draw the l33test of the l33t, a name like p0wnZoR g4m1Ng might do the trick. If you want everyone to know that you are the best Gamer's Utopia or Utopian Gamer cant be beat. The hard part is choosing something that can appeal to anyone. And maybe dropping any indicator that its a gaming community is the way to go. If the community has something to offer people will join.

Yombi, Cumanity, Procrasti Nation, Warring Bits, Enter The Fray, Meet Locker, and Dishonorable Mention are just a few suggestions.

Im not sure if you are being sarcastic or not.... hard to tell in this type of forum. The suggestions I made at the bottom of my post were serious, while the middle paragraph was a joke to point of the importance of knowing your target audience.

[D.I]WILDCHILD · 03-11-2005, 02:45 AM

ya i was being sarcastic,but in a fun way.I understand the format of the suggestions you just layed out,also.thx for the help.
b.t.w. we are going for a all around gamer audience.
