Starting afresh gives us a chance to decide on things together, including something that’s usually locked in long before a site launches—the name.
While community.mostepic.win gives me a laugh, it could wear thin after awhile.
What do you think might make a good name?
Next challenge - the name must have a corresponding domain. You can do bulk domain searches through registrars like name.com, if you need to go shotgun on name ideas.
Hmmm, I’ve been trying to come up with different names to try and search, but offbeatgamer.com is just better than any of my ideas. I’ll try and come up with additional ones. Mostepic.win is cool, but a bit of a novelty name I feel.
Oh those are some really good points you are making. It is important to know exactly what our aim is.
My suggestion would be that we are gaming-centric. We are connected via our mutual love for games, we play games on different systems and for different reasons, but we all play games. As long as the context of anything we do is surrounding that idea, it should be great. The work “game” in the name should fit that idea then.
I also like the idea of it being gamer centric. However it may even be more geek centric and so include more people… well in a sense. Or it can be an all out general forum that mostly targets gamers?
I like offbeatgamer.com as well, but since Soli is mentioning “perhaps more geek centric”, something like offbeatgeek.com could also work (if there will be gadget discussions, toys, etc.)
Was in the shower and bouncing some ideas around, what y’all think of names:
GameStation
This could work in a few ways, specifically if we branch into YouTube/Twitch streaming and podcasts. Not to mention the name itself impkies a hub for games.
Gamers Platform
The idea is that of a train platform, all aboard the gamers train… No?
The idea of playing games and not platforms, to have a neutrality between games without being segregated between different platforms of choice.
Gamersboard
The idea was that of a circuit board, kind of an 8bit styled logo. I know Glordit was good at creating those.
i think Epic Win is brilliant and catchy also i you have a better chance of people stumbling upon epic win than offbeatgamer or off beat geek, i think epic win will resonate better on google search results which could lead to more traffic to the site which is what we want, im sure people are searching more for keywords that include epic and win (hell thats charlie sheen’s catchphrase epic winning).
