Just an idea... i know the admins have been putting their own funds towards the forums so far. But if we're considering crowd sourcing the funds to buy the domain name, hosting, etc, maybe you only get to vote on the name if you donate $5 to the cause...
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Buying votes just...no. This makes things really sketchy.
When you put it that way it does sound bad! I wasn't thinking about it like that, was more worried about the drive by lurkers biasing the poll, Why do you get to name the website if you're not committed about the website? but now that I think about it we probably don't have too many drive bys on PB anyways.
And yes, I see the irony of me saying this, because I'm pushing for more mass involvement for site ideas, however, I strongly believe that branding and graphics is an area best left to professionals.
Nobody has ever designed anything clever and with a clear POV by trying to please everyone.
Oh, that is fantastic. This, this is wine. Look at what these idiots are drinking. Look at these dicks! I mean obviously, it's not really delicious, like hot chocolate or Coke, but for wine...brilliant.
After seeing your comments we've decided that after this poll we will take the top 3 choices from this poll and maybe 2 amazing name options that pop up in the comments and make a FINAL voting poll next week. Thoughts on this?
Personally, if I was fronting the money for a business I would be really careful about choosing a name and possibly wouldn't even put it up to a vote. But that's just me.
What frickin business??
Are we talkbg about having an Offboard or are we launching thebump part deaux?
I know Larry happened. Please do not try to convince me otherwise. Please don't talk to me about coffee. I don't drink it. I don't caffeine. When I state my opinion, that is me chiming in on a topic. This is not me saying you suck at life if you do or feel differently. If I want to say that, I will. If I want to speak on you, I will.

GDI McBenny. This is why I wanted you to read the other thread!

The admins will eventually make their money back, and to be honest, if you'd like to start a website, it should be out of your own pocket since you will eventually get revenue from it.
sure but they should be naming their own website too, not us.

They solicited our input, and that's what we're giving them.

I might be wrong here, but I took your comment as incredibly rude. I think it's awesome they care what we think and are letting us be a part of decisions like this. What site have you ever been on where you get a say in how things are run/done? I feel honored that we get to do things like this and are all able to be involved instead of them doing things behind closed doors and not communicating at all like The Dump.

We really want to see this community (and the website that will go alongside) to be something that represents all of us. That's why we've brought the name discussion to you guys. We didn't want to just pick a name willy nilly with no input from the people who are the entire reason that we are here.
At the end of the day, we hope that we'll be able to land on a name that the community likes and that we (the admins) feel is a good representation of what we are hoping to achieve. That name may not be the popular vote winner, but it won't be something out of left field either.

Yes.
So we will end up where we came! Fuck that! It's all kumbaya now but when motivation is driven by ads and content and marketing there will come a time when someone will say maybe you are not the right look or the right fit?!?!

Oh, that is fantastic. This, this is wine. Look at what these idiots are drinking. Look at these dicks! I mean obviously, it's not really delicious, like hot chocolate or Coke, but for wine...brilliant.

And I feel I should make the point again that we are trying to reverse the method of many other places- we want to serve the needs of a community first.
Big picture discussions are chaotic and loud because everyone is having a chance to respond, and that is messy. But we would rather bring more things to the group and have some mess than dictate to the group without input and actual communication.

Jesuwe we weren't even here 2 weeks before branding, marketing, ads etc have been brought up numerous times.

Obviously there is an agenda here. An end game? Cut the bull and lay the cards out. Sounds like the desired outcome is nt the vision of most. It's cool though, someone had a dream.
