Title: Wow, the site's new name is crap!
Post by: ShyGuy on November 14, 2006, 05:32:01 PM
I just wanted to be the first one to say it

Edit: Eh, it's not that bad, better than Wii. Yay team!

I think it's good enough.  I just think it's crap that the mods seem to think they can edit my posts and force people need to listen to the podcast in order to find out what it is.

Its ok, sounds really official.  Best thing is it wont go out of date in a generation.

Edit: So when do we make the switch, 'cause I kinda just swore off PGC forever

Vudu, go ahead and edit your post back if you want. No one will change it. Being a spoilsport retard isn't against the rules, otherwise we would've kicked you out a long time ago.

You shouldn't install iTunes on any computer. End of story.

See vudu's sig for the name.

If you HAD to keep the celestial body theme going in the new site name, why on Earth (see what I did right there?) would you not include some kind of hilarious "Uranus" pun that we all would have laughed at for years or seconds to come? For shame PGC Staff, for shame.

PlanetManNipples.com was taken?

NWR...I like that...

"W" has too many syllables.  I hate it.  You've ruined everything.
Title: RE: Wow, the site's new name is crap!
Post by: Zach on November 14, 2006, 08:42:47 PM
lol, the abbreviation only has one less syllable than the whole site name.
Title: RE: Wow, the site's new name is crap!
Post by: Svevan on November 14, 2006, 09:26:31 PM
You guys can come up with another nickname instead of NWR - in fact I encourage it. Start now! (Not "The Report," though, that was vetoed in advance)

nintendowiireport.com would have been better.  (Also, it looks like you guys have some competition.)

My bad.  I didn't think you guys were keeping the new name a secret.  I should have realized that you didn't want any traffic to the new site and it would be better if no one knew what the new name was.

Or perhaps your plan is to fill NWR with a bunch of Evan-loving mancakes who listen to the podcast on a regular basis.
Title: RE: Wow, the site's new name is crap!
Post by: NWR_DrewMG on November 15, 2006, 02:53:03 AM
I kind of like the new name, actually.

Title: RE: Wow, the site's new name is crap!
Post by: Rhoq on November 15, 2006, 02:58:55 AM
The new name is a bit odd - I thought for sure it would be an evolution of the "Planet GameCube" moniker. I was expecting something along the lines of "Planet Nintendo ________"

NWR isn't bad, it will take a little bit of time to get used to it, but I like. It's certainly future-proof. As long as Nintendo stays in business and doesn't change their name you guys are good to go forever.


*Edit - I fail because I abbreviated the new name as PWR*

People just don't like change.  I think the new name rocks.  Now people will actually know that we cover the DS and the Wii and everything that is Nintendo.

Post by: vudu on November 15, 2006, 07:48:50 AM
Out of curiosity, did you guys try to get planetnintendo.com from GameSpy?

It's not like they're really using it anymore; you can't even get to the DS channel from there.
Title: RE: Wow, the site's new name is crap!

NWR spoken Nickname.

NWAR!!!!!!!!!

Pronounced War with a N sound in front.

I can't speak for whether or not we tried to get it, as the name stuff is all senior staff shtuff, but based on my Internet experience, if one were to go to someone holding such a valuable domain name and ask for it, I don't think the owner would let it go at a bargain.  I'm sure the price would be at least 5 grand, and could be significantly higher if Gamespy wanted to be a prick about it.

Vudu, you didn't actually do anything wrong (the words "stupid" and "rude" may apply). Stan already admitted that editing your post was wrong - no one should have edited your post, and the most you'll get for an apology is Stan's response in the thread. So let's leave it at that.
Title: RE:Wow, the site's new name is crap!
Post by: vudu on November 15, 2006, 04:29:43 PM
I wasn't exactly looking for an apology.  If you bothered to check your talkbalk thread you'd see I apologized for posting the name of the new PGC.  As I said there, I realized after the fact that I was sort of stealing your thunder, which was not my intent.

Also, I would think that a mod such as yourself would know that hurling personal insults at formers (such as "spoilsport retard") is not only against the rules, it makes you look unprofessional and immature.

I'm not trying to start a war (mainly because I know I can't win).  I have a great deal of respect for what you do; I thoroughly enjoy your podcasts (I even like your preplanned monologs) and I find you clever and witty.  

I’m not trying to be a dick and I really don’t want to be that guy whose posts no one reads because they’re always long-winded and no one likes him anyway.

too late

Isn't GameSpy owned by News Corp (a/k/a Fox)?

Vudu, since we're in the funhouse I was hoping my words would be construed as humorous rib-jabbing, but apparently not. The respect is mutual; I don't mean to break that respect by being mean, and I apologize for it. I'll add a smiley next time.

Nintendo World Wiiport

(And while we're at it, Radio FWii Nintendo!)

No, I'm surprised at how it rolls off the (mental?) tongue... I've never said it aloud. And I won't right now, as I'm in a public place, and I would be embarassed to suddenly blurt out something so seemingly random and nonsensical.

I got it! For serious this time. NOR. The 'O' is like a world, which are round, see?

You could also go with NoR - with a lower case 'o' like the one in the word 'World.' But then people might think the name of the site was Nintendo of Romania or something.
