I think I like minionsofxendor.net the best... it seems the least likely to stereotype us. I don't know about Sith but I am an admin too.

Not at all. (winks) Xendor was the first Dark Jedi, that's all. They had to start somewhere...heh.
But the expression Minions of Xendor is made out to be just that — an expression. Perhaps there will be a little misunderstanding, but there isn't any way we can completely avoid that with anything else, either. Besides which, Xendor is one of the more obscure SW characters, taking into consideration that his only appearance that might be considered "canon" is the expression Minions of Xendor in a book trilogy. So while it's derived from SW, it doesn't have to declare to all and sundry that this is only a SW site (which it's not, of course). If we wanted to focus solely upon SW, we could always have chosen an expression more recognisably SW like "Sithspawn" or something. Heh.

The difference in opinion between minionsofxendor and insanityprevailing does mean that if I pick either of them, half of the site won't appreciate it much. *shrugs*
I am going to suggest the following... a new poll be made and we take middle-galaxy.net, and perhaps crossoversonline.net. Because they sort of fit us without stereotyping us. In fact, I'm switching allegiance over to middle-galaxy anyway, because it's a very in between and compromisal choice.
*shrugs*

I like compromise. Heh. Jandalf's explanation makes sense though...get my vote by saying some name's obscure. k/j First dark Jedi...alright then.

(considers) Ummm...we'll have that run by me again...
...After much deliberating...yes, I agree with the above statement. (cackles) I also agree with a few others in this thread that my preference still lies with minionsofxendor. And if you were referring to something else entirely, Padawan...well...ummm...
(goes to check once more)
...I can't milk anything else out of that post, so yup. I'm done. (grins and runs off)

I like Minions best too, but are you all right with going with a conpromise and using middle-galaxy or crossoversonline?
Because the level of different opinions and dislike to insanity and minions... is very strong. I think if we used either one, people might get a bit annoyed.

i like middle galaxy. I like is becuase it sounds nice and thats where i am in the galaxy sort of. Cuz i'm bob. but I dont think my opinion counts for much since i've been here for (adds 1+1) 2 days and thats not much, i think.

The only problem, of course with this, is post count...
I can't edit post count in on phpBB. We'd all be starting at 0 again... *grimaces* Unless we wanted to all repost our posts... which might make for a pain, but would work...

Oh geesh, I can't even remember where I've posted. That could cause a problem, but I don't really care too much about post counts anyway. Hehehe, if ya all went back down to zero we'd all be starting right at the same level *smirks*

Maybe we could manage it, if people were concerned about it. How far back does the post record go? *goes off to experiment*

I still don't like middle-galaxy...it sounds clumsy somehow. (shrugs) Crossoversonline sounds better...
(revives a headache from thinking about transferring all her posts) And my poor Padawan is about 1000 ahead of me, yet...heh. Although without all the games/pointless posting, especially in the early days...

I've been trying hard to think up names that would be good. I just don't know SW very well, so I can't really get anything. LOL, I say we go totally off the cuff and call it like "pickles-anonymus" or something like that. LOL How about "Dyed-Garlic.net" Hehehehe...Idk, but I'm cracking up. Too much sugar for tonight....

*cackles for a while*
You too, eh? *cackling*
Okay. Sorry... I... tried to come up with something less clunky. And as for the post count thing... I found a mod for edit post count. So far, I haven't been able to get it to work. *mutters* Perhaps ech0 will.
ANYWAY. As middle-galaxy is decidedly choppy (even in my opinion), I went with another Middle-earthianish domain possibility to check out... crownlessfear.net.
Shall I put that one up as a possibility now?

Hmmm...tis an interesting suggestion for sure. I do agree Middle-Galaxy is a bit too choppy though. I would be willing to go with Crownless fear, though I don't see what that has to do with SW or LOTR - not that I care whether or not it has to do with either. I'd rather not see it having to do with just one though. I know there has to be a ton of good suggestions out there, we just all have to put our heads togethers and think real hard.

Crownless is a reference to Aragorn's riddle "Out of the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring. Renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king." Fear is an obvious referencing to Nazgul, Sith, and Darth Vader types...
I think that may be the one to go with because it's very vauge... I mean, all of us have these different perseptions, though. So yeah.
crownlessfear.net Or perhaps, thinktoohard.net. *snrk* That was sarcastic, that one...
All right...
What sort of words would go best into our domain name? Come up with a list of various things you think might go cool in a site name for THIS site...
