SoylentNews is people

posted by mrcoolbp on Tuesday April 15 2014, @10:52PM   Printer-friendly
from the details-are-important dept.

I would like to clarify some points on the in-progress submission and voting process.

  • Ideally the name should be available in .com .org and .net
  • If not, we will still accept the submission
  • Suggestions left as comments on this site will not be added
  • If you are unable to submit a name through the formal process as a last resort the name can be submitted to suggestions@soylentnews.org or you can pester a staff member on IRC via a private message
  • Submissions close on Saturday at 06:50 UTC so I suggest getting them in by Friday at the latest

If you plan on making a submission then I also recommend you read the original article with full instructions. Unfortunately, if you did not register to vote before April 12, you are out of luck for this vote.

If you want more information about bounces, plain text email, or voting read this comment by audioguy.

    Then don't fix it. Soylent is both a clever twist and a statement that we are about the USER, not the business. Plus as a nice bonus its a geek joke and the kind of folks that are gonna hang out at a nerd site are by and large.....drumroll....geeks and nerds.

    But I don't like it and I am a user. And they promised to let us vote on it in the very beginning.

      My vote (for Soylent) cancels yours. Since the anonymous users are always uncountably common that means that my infinity cancels yours and it will have to just be the logged in users voting. Sort of like renormalization.

        borf... what's in a name anyway? (Shakespeare if need be [wikipedia.org]) the most important thing on the web is to have a unique searchable name. there's nothing worse than naming a site, app, or, program with something commonly held elsewhere. (and don't get me started on names like "R")

        soylentnews is as good a name as any of the other popular sitenames. and it anagrams to "only wetness".

    doesn't seem like very user-centric web design to me.

    hey-o

    I'd rather have the comments made more readable before trying to decide on what name soylent news will use. But perhaphs we'd grow our userbase too big to change at that point?

    This, this, this. I've become quite fond of it, because it's nerdy and geeky in all the right ways. And I can bloody remember it, too.

    And when I finally noticed the logo, it made me laugh. I'm still chuckling. :)

    I agree 100%. I think Soylent News is a great name. Why change it?
