Clarifying Some Points on the Name Vote

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.

    I hope that whatever name is chosen makes a clean break with Slashdot and Beta. This site is too good to be named after that old place. We should pick something original, not something secondary and derivative. I don't particularly like the current name either as it strikes me as a little childish for the long haul. Let's think up something new that will last and that we won't be embarrassed of in a year or two.

      You haven't heard?

      We're going to have a vote on that too.
