So as the site increases in popularity (We had 300 hits in one day the other week, so it's either that or Michael J. Fox was stuck on the refresh button), It's come to my attention that, well, 24 Hour Gamer is a popular name. A quick search on Google returns 24-HRGaming.com, 24HRGamer.com, and, perhaps the worst of them all, 24hourgamer.com, which all spell disaster for our little bastion of constant gaming when it comes to the inevitable task of getting a proper domain name, and possible clashes over intellectual properties in the future.
So, the burning question is; should we here at 24HG towers give up the name we've been lovingly referring to ourselves for over a year, confuse our Twitter followers and annoy the NowGamer forum staff into changing my user name once more, for the sake of keeping the future bright? I think, as much as it pains me, the answer is pointing to yes, swiftly followed by registering a domain name and copyrighting the fuck out of it. But what do we call ourselves then?
That's where you guys come in. I'll be having talks with my counterpart Trev about it, but every suggestion sent to the usual channels is wholly appreciated. 24hourgamer.co.uk is still open, but I think a bit of individuality goes a long way. That's all for now.
how about 24hourgamer-wk or gaming-wk... stick to an old theme?
ReplyDeleteI know what ya mean, it would be good to come up high on ze googles! Ones that have no hits are what I have looked for so far are.... Itsagamerlife and wearetheknightswhosaygames. They both suck yes.....but I shall think up more!
ReplyDeleteAnd Thelifeofgamer.....
ReplyDeleteI do like the Knights theme Trev, I feel it accurately convays the inner warriors we both harbour. Something a bit shorter would roll off the tongue a bit better. Something like Joystick Knights, only, y'know, not as gay.
ReplyDeleteGamerettaliation just a thought :D
ReplyDelete*retaliation
ReplyDelete24-7 gamer?
ReplyDeleteI do like that last one, it's not too different. Id actually thought of Gaming 24/7, so I'm surprised that didn't come to me. Trev, any thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI think if you're going to change the name you should go for something original that reflects both you and Trev as gamers. Apart from that I have no ideas :D
ReplyDeleteWhat, like Fantastically Attractive Gaming Studs? The abbreviation kinda lets it down a bit.
ReplyDeleteI think thats perfect....
ReplyDeleteWhat about STG, Seriously Tactful Gamers? Well whatever you can fit in the S and T lol. Like Sexually Transmitted Gamers. I love that one XD
ReplyDeleteLadies and gentlemen, my own wife calling me a fag.
ReplyDeleteTactful isn't really a word I'd use to describe my writing style (re: Micheal J. Fox), but I do like the abbreviation. Socially Troubled Gamers is more like it for me. I thought of 'The Dork Knights' earlier, but it's not overly obvious that it's gaming related.
Socially Troubled Gamers sounds actually pretty good!
ReplyDeleteSocially Deprived Gamers would be better, but that's SDG. Is the T important?
ReplyDeleteNo lol, I just thought a snappy 3 letter name that can be abbreviated would be good :-D
