Clarifying Some Points on the Name Vote

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.

    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".
