Well guys, I'm getting ready to register a domain except first we need a name.

Here are a few ideas to get the ball rolling, I'll give you all a chance to think of other ideas and then we'll have a poll.

1. www.sctactics.com (http://www.sctactics.com) (a lot of people seem to want this. its pretty cool imo but wont really have much to do with the site, just part of it)

2. www.starcraftmania.com (http://www.starcraftmania.com) (simple, cool looking, easy to remember/type and it covers all bases)

3. www.broodwar-central.net (http://www.broodwar-central.net)

4. www.gosu-gamers.net (http://www.gosu-gamers.net)

anything else?

www.sctactics.com I like.


Personally though, I think we should see how Warboards works out.

I like tactics but you have a point with it not covering all the bases, but a names a name. I really dont like mania, it sounds too fan boyish, but then again, here I am trying to argue about it.

smaq

I realize some of you aren't interested in a move, but please atleast give your opinions on a name anyway.

Ardent
08-18-2004, 12:10 AM
I like sctactics.com

But I have another choice.

ChatCraft.com / .org / .net / or w/e you get the picture :)


That is if the domain is available.

Ok it can not be ChatCraft.com cause some dirty porn ppl have it... but we could still use .org or .net or another extension

it's.. interesting.heh aja, really sorry about this...but we have nowhere else at the moment. Also, I promise other than these few polls, no advertising will be done, nor will we try and take members from warboards.

By the time the site is up, everyone will have forgotten about these posts.

I'm not really sure what you would be able to do with your planned new site that you can't do here...

now, if only we could convert them away from money maps and bloodbath crap -_-

sctactics sounds good to me, but i agree we should check this out first. the only reason i like a new site better is because of the integrated chat thing thats planned for it

I'm glad you can say that after one post -_-

Uhh, if you guys just need a chatroom, just get a channel on IRC. Warboards is already on irc.enterthegame.com, just go to #etg and register #tactics or #sctactics.

Jorix
08-18-2004, 6:22 PM
i use irc all the time, but it seems like no one else from scs ever has, so =/

Cpt.Chronic
08-18-2004, 6:28 PM
Yeah, I say we just stop posting in the Strategy forum at BF altogether. They obviously have no respect for us nor does it even seem that they want us there at all. Why post somewhere you're unwanted and where mods that admittedly don't care about the forum are unjustly moderating it? The regulars here at WB have been very welcoming so far and I say we give this place a chance before saying crap like you don't like it after just 1 post :/

Jorix
08-18-2004, 6:30 PM
8882 has problems saying exactly what he means sometimes...what he said when i was talking to him on sc was that he didnt like the look or layout, i dont think he had anything against wb

Darko
08-18-2004, 7:37 PM
I don't exactly like the look or layout either. The gray just looks so dead. What can I say, I like vibrant colours. But whatever. If the entire community decides to move here, I guess I'll get used to it. After all, there had to be a reason eventually as to why I made an account here the first day this board opened. ~_~

Ardent
08-18-2004, 7:55 PM
How about, BlizzGamers.com!

That is if a new site is chosen to be made.

From what it looks like 1/2 the people are happy with the current warboards.
And yet another 1/2 would like to see a new site.

As for me... I'm still undecided.

A new site sounds nice. But, you have to remember the costs of putting up a site and I'm not just talking about cash. It cost time / effort in building and maintaining a Web site. I'd also like to see a site were it just isn't forums.

It also sounds nice to stay here at Warboards. They seem like a nice group of people. Plus they already have a site up and running. :P

I personally think it is better to have a broad name than a limiting one like sctactics. We don't have to cover all blizz games just cus blizz is in the title, but at the same time we don't have to cover just "sc tactics".

Jorix
08-18-2004, 8:55 PM

Cpt.Chronic
08-18-2004, 9:03 PM
I don't understand why y'all want to go thru the trouble of creating a new site when this place is perfectly fine. Not only will there be less initial members, but it will draw less new members as well. This place is already established and connected to a well-known Blizzard gaming fansite that will constantly draw new members in. What's the fun in having a forum where everyone already knows everything? Seems to me that it would be an extremely boring forum.

Jorix
08-18-2004, 9:03 PM
im all for staying here, i have no problems with WB

Staind
08-18-2004, 9:05 PM
Yea, lack of new members is my biggest fear of our own site. This would atleast have the potential to replace old / dead members.

assassin_666
08-18-2004, 9:19 PM
the new place has more potential then this but if it didnt work out we could always come back here

Well, welcome to Warboards. The staff does a very good job, so I don't think you will see the problem you guys had in bf.

Blood bath is the most awesome map ever made. Real men play blood bath.

I agree. Everyone here seems to want us.. so why not stay? I've never had a single problem with a single moderator or admin at this forum, and you guys know how I am with staff.

In any case, I like the sctactics.com name because that was always the name of our forum... and I still call it SC Tactics even though twotimer had the name changed to SC Strategy for some unknown reason. But in any case I would like to stay here. Actually, I'll be here anyhow.. it's just that if you guys make a new site i'll have to visit 2 sites.. :)

I say we move to the channel "warboards". And that's were I will be, warboards. Come join me!

okplayer

if we were going to change channels it would have to be 'op csc' or 'op cutesmallcat' so i could ban all retards.

Ardent
08-20-2004, 9:36 PM
Or we can change it to op NoOneCanHaveOpsBecauseThisAccountNameIsToLong. hehe

But anyway no one should have no ops cause then we'd have to get mods and what not and that's something that no one wants to deal with... cause then you know some one will go and abuse their power and all hell would break lose. :\

I am not too big on the theme and layout either, but I have been able to tolerate it for the past 8 1/2 months. It isn't the look of the website that matters to me, it is the company within the site.

There are plans for a darker theme for WB, however the senior staff are pressed for time with bigger projects at the moment.

i dont like the idea of a new site, we really need a fresh supply of noobs every now and then to either flame them or play games with them and let them admire our ownage.

does this site have a pretty active sc forum? many new members joining?
i really dont know

btw, i think we should keep channel blizzforums, dont know why, i just still see us as bf people, although we all post on wb now cuz we were banned from bf.
were in exile or smth.

oh, and we should also let those nerds at bf see that we were by far the most active forum (this is a fact, ive been monitoring the number of ppl that visit the forums the last few days), and we brought the most new people in (which is also a fact).
they should regret it that they just didnt leave us on our own and started acting like a bunch of bitches.

oh, and we should try to get TT and his bo archive to here, noobs swarmed around that like uhm.
i dont know something with winnie the pooh and honey

i dont like the idea of a new site, we really need a fresh supply of noobs every now and then to either flame them or play games with them and let them admire our ownage.The difference is that noobs from BF get aggravated and think that they're "all that," and so they challenge good players to games (getting their asses handed to them on a platter), whereas noobs from WB (like me ;) ) will happily listen to good tactics without resorting to flaming or 'omg h4x' :p

Anyways, hopefully you guys'll stay a while at WB :)
