    Quite. Soylentnews is on the list, I will be voting for that, so no need to respond to this.

    Although uyvouo6rc7rctf.com could be interesting. I hope the suggestions are sanitised. Democracy is good, but death by committee isn't

    I'll probably be voting for SoylentNews, but it entirely depends on what the choices are -- there might be something really clever.
    I've been trying to think of something clever, but have failed thus far...
    Would have been neat if the submissions included suggestions for the extra terms involved; i.e. the equivalencies for "Soyled", "Soylentors", etc

      What about "Soylenators"? It seems more dignified than "soylentils," although I don't object to that name.

        What about "Soylenators"?

        Love it! I was close with "Soylentors", but that extra 'a' makes all the difference.

        If SoylentNews survives the name-change-vote, this should be made the official term.

          I actually misread your earlier post at first, which is where I got "soylenators" from. Although I do like "soylentors" a bit better than "soylentils."

          Maybe after we decide on a site name, we should hold a vote to decide the common term for the community members.

            Good idea, though it does suggest the term "voters" :-)
            Seriously though leaving it to 'organically evolve' is probably better.

              Well, in another week or so, "lentils" makes less sense (for some).

      I say if it ain't broke don't fix it. Soylent is clever, short, and an inside joke for the geeks, all in all I think its a top notch name.

    Yes, they will have to remove some of the submissions, depending on what they get. There's no point in voting to change the site name to microsoft.com, 5lashd0t.org, or FreeSoyletOnlineGambling.org. I would be a bit curious to see the list of unusable suggestions though.

    Er...what is "uyvouo6rc7rctf" supposed to mean? It's not ROT13 and I can't parse it as leet-speak...and googling it only turns up your comment. Fourteen chars is too long a faceroll to remember.

      It's amazing, and scary, how google finds one string of characters someone in it's massive cache of the internet, and returns the result in milliseconds

        If you had bothered to read my comment, jackass, you'd see that I already tried that. Tried it again just now, with Safesearch off, and unhiding the duplicate results. I currently get 3 copies of the same original Slashdot comment that I replied to.

          You have no concept of cats do you?

          The tangical thought that google not only indexes every single word on the internet, but has access to it in milliseconds, is scary way beyond your inability to engage in polite conversation.

            Cats? I'm not sure what you're trying to say. If you can demonstrate a Google search that actually shows me what you claim it does, please do.

            The same Google also doesn't have a definition for the word "tangicle" either. Is this whole conversation some Absurdist metaphor? Or have I been misinterpreting your followup remarks as sarcasm when they're just off-the-cuff musings and bad spelling?
