It's not like they're really using it anymore; you can't even get to the DS channel from there.

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.

you can always have www.meangreenrecords if you want I will sell it for a Wii and Zelda TP since I don't need that name anymore.

I take it the iTunes leveraging worked out? You got new subscribers?

Pryopizm · « **Reply #30 on:** November 15, 2006, 12:44:05 PM »

Hell yeah, and our Odeo listeners are through the roof (compared to our baseline).

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.

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.

vudu · « **Reply #32 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.

YELL IT LOUD YELL IT PROUD DECOYMAN

Oh, well if being mean in the funhouse is okay ... you smell.

Pale · « **Reply #40 on:** November 16, 2006, 03:34:42 AM »

I should register nintendo world wiiport and point it here just for fun. Five bucks a year is a small price to pay for a good joke!

Spak-Spang · « **Reply #41 on:** November 16, 2006, 04:00:44 AM »

Pale: I think that is a perfect link to THE FUNHOUSE!!! (of doom)

couchmonkey · « **Reply #42 on:** November 16, 2006, 05:35:37 AM »

I think that's a good idea. Especially if it annoys other staffers.

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)

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.

ShyGuy · « **Reply #44 on:** November 16, 2006, 07:35:12 PM »

N

R

We need a globe emoticon then all will be right in the world.
