Identity
So, it's sort of come up in discussion a few times now over the last couple of months about what this forum actually is. As we've said recently, FT is a thing of the past and the FT sections here are fairly dead and those that do post in them usually just ask noob questions and then never return or get banned. Now someone mentioned to me a while back about perhaps changing our name and I kinda dismissed it but am now taking it seriously. The question is, what if we weren't flash trek the unofficial forum anymore? Is it a better idea to disassociate ourselves with FT now, perhaps keep it in the archives and focus more on say media and general discussion? A whole slew of questions have to be asked about this though. Does changing our name/identity mean much to us, like even though we're not really interested in FT anymore, is FT a major part of our identity anyways? A good chunk of the reason we're still FT:TUF is because it gets good hits on google, however, being active to begin with, this place might very well do good on a google search no matter what our name is. Do we still go with this sci-fi theme? I'm kinda toying with an idea that uses white and black (in a sleek manner that is) for a design scheme when I download the photoshop trial for CS5 (probably tonight). Finally, if we do change our name/look/theme/focus, what do we change to? What would be a name that suits us? It might be a good opportunity to come up with something cool for a name other than this bland title. I personally think it's time to leave FT to the little noob forums out there and try and focus on more relevant focuses. I dunno, thoughts anyone?
Re: Identity
Well... We could still keep the name, but, I do believe we should move away from FlashTrek...
I mean... FT was a hit back then, but, not even it's hard die fans are that interested in it...
I think we should send the FT section into the permantent storage, and never look back at it...
People here are more interested in RPing and talking about life than before...
This means, no more flash, more photoshop, more movies, less childish things...

Re: Identity
whoa, hold on a sec, i never said anything about no more flash, photoshop movies etc. They are not childish things considering most people who are pros at them are in their late 40s or older. In my opinion, we'd need to focus more on some of that stuff than we do now. And if we put the FT sections in permanent storage, why keep the name FT:TUF?
Re: Identity
It should have a name that isn't pinned to any particular project or medium. Calling it a simple name like 'the community' would work.

I guess I meant another thing... No more FlashTrek, / less flash games production, / MORE Photoshop, / MORE movies, / LESS Childish things...
Gosh, does this means I have invented a language to program Darkwing? XD (Programers Dry Joke)
Re: Identity
no no, brain dead was describing what I'm experiencing at the moment, not a suggested title

yes, very dry, very very dry
Re: Identity
I wasted all at school, so it's normal the dry ones start to exit... and you know what I mean by dry...
We should keep the URL, but it would be a nice idea to change the name and logo...

Re: Identity
well, i'd keep the url the same for a while, but would eventually change it once we're all accustomed to the newness of it all
Re: Identity
The only 3 names I can think of right now are "The Conclave," "The Commune," or "The Group of people that are mildly interested in Flash Trek."
Re: Identity
I LIKE THE LAST ONE!
But i like "The Commune" to, it sounds good, i see 4 Options, in order of how i like them
1. "The Commune" (As stated by Toa Kaita)
2. "The Flash Cafe"
3. "The Group of Men and like 3 Women that talk about random things"
4. "Flash, Music, Videos, and Geniral Chat Forum that is mildly into Flash trak and hate people that are annoying"

Re: Identity
no no, those names are too bland. I'm thinking like Universe's End or something cool like that
Re: Identity
maybe something a little easier to say, something a little snappier, universe's is kinda hard to say or not quite smooth/sleek enough
Re: Identity
after i just said about foreboding
no no, something kinda cool and classy. Especially if i go with a black and white kind of scheme

Re: Identity
Jaguar's Peak
A jaguar is black, namely the car and the cat, and adding peak to it just sounds cool.....but it doesent have to be peak, i dont like peak as much as i like Jaguar's Claw..or something like that....
Here is what i think it should be if you want it to do with black, and stuff, and be slick and cool
(These are in order of when i come up with them)
1. Jaguar's Claw
2. Endless Universe
3. Flash Bored
4. Dark Scare (i have no idea)
5. I am out of ideas.....

Yeah, be a little serious folks, we're talking about changing the name of the forum perhaps for ever. Make your opinion count, because you won't have another chance.

Re: Identity
I'm putting my oar in for 'The Enclave'. It's like the conclave, but means 'an area wholly surrounded by another'. It sort of sums us up - a group of people from many countries and backgrounds, but united by this forum.

Re: Identity
just so you all know, conclave is on my bottom list. There wil be a vote, but the vote won't be the deciding factor, it'll help, but i'm not going with conclave or enclave or anything cave
Re: Identity
how about calling it universe, its kinda sci-fi and it would go with a black and white theme

Re: Identity
Hm... i think galactic void sounds like a place where things disappear, unless that's what you mean by?
Re: Identity
Well i mean Large place, like the one episode on startrek voyager, things end up there all the time....
