This reminds me of American Idol. *rolls eyes* All right.
A few have been removed for no comments on liking them, and two others for the following:
roastpadawan - it could attract the wrong sort of people to our site, and we don't want that. I originally put it thinking Anakin in Epi III, but not everyone's going to get that...
snrk - sorry, MEI, but that one's being removed on the following. It sounds rude to anyone who doesn't know what it means. And you have two admins who place it as their least favorite. (Celebrian being the other admin... heh... she didn't post, but we were discussing domains RL. THANK YOU, MOMMY!)
Now. This does mean we won't be on proboards anymore, to those wondering. Ech0 has offered kindly to host us on his own domain. See the locked thread in the End of All Things (archive) for the full details.
I would like to admin-ly express my cons against otherwiseinsanity.net and insanityprevailing.net. Though they sound great, MEI's no longer... insane. And it could attract the wrong sort of "insane".
Vote for your favorite, post WHY it's your favorite and also list them in the order you like them best, if you wouldn't mind. I will do this after a couple more people post. Now that some have been ruled out... yeah.
Also do remember we will have email with the domain name, possibly, and a site tag on...

Would you care to explain how MEI isn't insane? That's what I came here for, and if its becoming a everyday "normal" site it looses my interest.
#1 insanity-prevailing.net
#2 middle-galaxy.net
#3 minionsofxendor.net
Worst: hobbit-squadron.net
((we need a lot more people to come to these polls and vote!))

It's not a "normal everyday site". It's just not as insane as it was before. That's my opinion. Not that there's anything wrong with insanityprevailing as a domain name...
And moving away from proboards pushes us to having more access from other sites, and stuff. We'll look more official. That's all. The old MEI will remain on proboards, worry not... just the forum main will become on the domain, and the proboards will slip away, never to be seen by any but us oldbies...

Will all the posts be transfered to the Domain?

Any and all that can be. Probably just the important threads, depending on how much the mods want to copy and paste... and if any members will help us out. Heh.
For the world to now know, minionsofxendor.net is my favorite. I will now proceed to list mine in favorite order.
minionsofxendor.net. And I don't know WHY that one is my favorite. I just really like it...
middle-galaxy.net. It's a really decent compromise of insanity and crossovers, I think.
iamyourfather.net. It dreadfully amuses me to think of the email possibilities...
pixel-jedi.net. It's amusing.
insanityprevailing.net. Runs smoothly, and sounds cool, and encompasses the idea of the site, relatively.
hobbit-squadron.net. It's just cool sounding, in my mind.
orderoftheparadox.net. I think it's sweet. We are the Paradox Order. Heh heh heh.
otherwiseinsanity.net is my now least favorite. It's not smooth enough.
There. NOW YOU KNOW!

I think I like insanity prevailing best.
I don't entirely know whats going on. I like proboards and it might get too complicated for me to switch all my old stuff to a whole new message forum. Is this automatically done? Or do we have to follow the ME:I site and add everything in ouselves?
I think we are quite established here and it will get so confusing to have to start all over again. I will be...confused...

EDIT: Before you all get confused, I posted as the wrong alias. Heh... I being Eowyn, of course. There. You all know.  <-- he's my fwiend... * It'll be quite a pain, yes. But it'll take a while, it won't be an immediate switch. And the old MEI will still exist, I'm just going to disable signups and try to keep it for the oldbies, I think. And remove some of the boards. I don't know. *shrugs* We won't be all moving just our own posts, beyond perhaps in RPG. What we'll be doing is deciding what threads to copy and paste over then just do that. I know we're very established here, and who knows, it might not work. But the pros of having a real domain name are a lot greater... and we have all admins in agreement. I don't really think there's a way to automatically do it, no. So yes, it'll be a pain. I'll probably end up doing most of the copy and pasting myself, myself and possibly ech0, and I'll just set the old post counts in the profiles, I guess. I know it'll be confusing... *sighs* But it's a decided preference to do. Look at it this way-- at least most of you only have under 500 posts... Jandalf and I have over 2000+ each to move... in less than 100 I'll be passing 4000!! Heh... (not to mention my aliases) But I'm not going to start from scratch. We'll just be moving MEI over... Now-- WHICH DOMAINS DO YOU ALL NOT LIKE! *grins* Just to rule out... |

Hmmm...I don't know...pixel-jedi is a neat idea, but I don't particularly care for it. otherwiseinsanity, orderoftheparadox, and middle-galaxy are all sort of middle-ground to me... The rest I like. (shrugs)

This time around, I voted orderoftheparadox.net, because it flows so TERRIBLY smoothly. I just love that - and sure, it's long, but aren't we all used to typing a long address anyhow? So that's my favorite, followed by
(#2) iamyourfather.net and
(#3)insanityprevailing.net
My LEAST favorite would have to otherwiseinsanity.net... don't know why. Any of the others I can live with... BTW, I also am willing to help move stuff around, if you need me.

I think iamyourfather may attract some of the wrong people as well. I don't know *shrugs*
I'm still not too happy with the whole idea. It'll just be too complicated for me to move everything over to a new forum especially since I'm already on like 6 or 7. To have to check one more will just make my life more complicated, so I will probably just stay here at the original site. Oh well, what 'r ya gonna do...

NINE WHOLE DOMAIN NAMES ON THE WALL! NINE WHOLE DOMAIN NAMES!! TAKE ONE DOWN, KICK IT AROUND, EIGHT WHOLE DOMAIN NAMES ON THE WALL!!!
*dies from the idea of moving all of her posts* That would not be pleasant, precious. No, it wouldn't. Painful for my head, it would be....
My first would have to be minionsofxexor, simply because it sounds cool. It really doesn't have a whole lot to do with the site, but I like it.
I also like insanityprevailing and orderoftheparadox. Leastly, I like otherwiseinsanity, for it's choppi-ness and difficulty to say.

I went with middle-galaxy.net, because it sounds wepic.
Though insanityprevailing.net is wepic too.
I dispise pixel-jedi.net, however. To me it makes little sense, and doesn't flow right with the site.

Hmm... hobbit-squadron and otherwiseinsanity I think will be making it out of the picture now...
Wow, three people karmaed my alias. *laughs*
Okay. Silver, don't worry-- you won't have to worry about this. Just switch your link once we have the new site put up and the main posts moved and stuff. You won't have to worry about checking both forums because HOPEFULLY we'll be able to completely move over to the phpBB site. Really. I know there's some of you not too happy about this... but... *shrugs helplessly* What am I to do? The majority's okay with it, and I'll be able to, I think, get volunteers for moving posts... myself and CR and Mekka have already decided to, so there's a start...
*contemplates* I think the final round will consist of minionsofxendor, insanityprevailing, and middle-galaxy. Would that be all right? I'd carry over pixel-jedi and iamyourfather, but they've both had negatives and positives... meh.
*hugs Silver* Don't worry, it shouldn't be that bad...
