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?

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...

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?

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...

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.....
