Name The ChatRoom!!

[vilehelm]

Yep, this sucker needs a name. Let's throw some out there.

If you haven't dropped by the engine, do so first. It's really more than a chatroom. And with our usual troop of loonies at the wheel lord knows how it hasn't ended upside down in a ditch yet.

Take a minute and blurt out five names. Also if you have some big idea behind it expound a little NOT A LOT.

For instance "The Tree - A place where squirrels and penguins can live together without shame or fear of judgement, if only the penguin could fly high enough and the branches could hold up that squirrel" :rolleyes:

ok seriously try not to over think it and the same brainstorm rules apply. no judgements. not a place for flames to startup. be silly, have some fun, let's do it!

1. scriptland
2. onBabble
3. onChat
4. level10
5. gotoChat

ok obviously i was on a little idea track there, i just cracked open the F5Bible and away i went.

NEXT!

[IFZen]

ok vilehelm, I ain't got your hairs but I'll try some chat names :

1- flash2flash
2 -flash lux
3- are you talking to me ?
4- blah blah blah
5 -photon torpedo

oh pallys, give us some insperation
and BZen

[Ricod]

1 - Flashchat
2 - The hive
***

I'm reserving the right here to come with more suggestions once I can think of any ... :)

[vilehelm]

6. _root.chat
7. passingArguments
8. jimmy
9. flashChatter
10. flash[chat]

I was gonna say "as.chat" but that looks awfully close to "ass.chat" and i don't think we want that...or do we (quirks a brow).

[pixelwit]

ActionScripts.org should have ActionChat.

ChatSplat sounds goofy enough.

Install Chatterbox on your system today.

Computer-aided Highly Intelligent Talkers >>> CHIT Chat

FastChat sounds efficient.

Those are my suggestions for now.

mmmmm...let's see...

ActionScriptChat
AchatS
FlaChat

mmm...brain damage...im out of ideas...

:cool:

[red penguin]

After being exposed to the engine now for just a few short weeks, I feel as if it's another world. A place to meet all y'all and discuss, listen to music, make gimlets, etc. It's NOT just a chat room...

So, I would suggest any name that doesn't include "chat" in it, rather a name of a PLACE, like Gotham City, or Oz, or Middle Earth. They are all fictitious places but carry some weight. For some reason...gotoAndChat just doesn't have that oomph...

I like jimmy...heheh, that's funny, Vile. I suppose I should shut my beak now and come up with something...

[pinkaboo]

Hey! That's what I said to you (and Vile and 20 ToN), Pengie!!! boooooo! Came here to put that conversation in "hard copy" on the forum only to find you stole the words from my mouth! :p
Anyhow, totally agree, needs to be a place name, not a label. But what?! Still thinking on that one! (sorry!)

[vilehelm]

11. chat-schmat
12. deletia (douglas coupland ripoff)
13. theHomeOffice
14. babel
15 theCampus

[Tink]

i know exactly what ur saying pengy and pinky!

although i still think the name ought to have some reflection to flash

such as _level10, some1 else suggestion but _level10 is a place isn't it?

there must be other places that are created in flash such as depths etc................

just milling over ideas! (still not had a chance to connect to the thing yet :()

BLEEDA

[pinkaboo]

Hey, don't worry Bleeda, we're not saying that we don't think that the name should be Flash or Forum inspired, just that it should maybe conjure up images of a location setting. But even so, that is only an opinion we are airing!

[still thinking! but so far I have:

1. Alefnull
2. Perplex(c)ity ]

[red penguin]

1. Flatland...(based on the book by Edwin A. Abbott)

The first line from the book...
"I call our world Flatland, not because we call it so,
but to make its nature clearer to you, my happy readers,
who are privileged to live in Space."

You can find a full copy of the book for free at Project Gutenberg (http://promo.net/pg/)
It's a short book...but it has depth...or maybe not!

Red Penguin laughs.

[slowpoke]

Afternoon one and all, don't mind me just thought I'd drop off a few suggestions and then I'll be out of your hair.

1: Flashturbation (fnup fnar)
2: hyper super giga mega chat (my personal favourite)
3: diaTribe
4: _theVernacularSociety
5: Vernacular Spectacular (just watched Moulin Rouge, sorry)

anyhoot, toodle pip.

Hyper Giga Mega Slow.

[pixelwit]

Okay I just reread this thread and thought to myself, I know what it should be called, and then I said "Nope, that could be taken as an insult", then I said "When has that ever stopped anyone here?"

Points:
1) It sholuld be a location
2) We're mostly kids at heart and will never grow up.
3) The project involves a virtual environment/fantasy-land.
4) The project is taking a while to complete.

I vote for Never-Never Land.

[JHallam]

LOL Pixel!

I like a few names suggested, some are very funny!

What about something like;

chat._root

maybe not so great but WHEN the HELL is this chat program going to commence? lol

*/*Update*\*
Program? I must of read wrong, It's this chat forum, right!

Sweet

[Billy T]

I like _level10 - sort of conjures up images of being part of a "bigger place" (ie the entire flash community) where you can go and hang out

"Hey Bob, when you finish that important project, let's go down to level10 for some cigars and port"...

*Billy T really needs to get out of his study and find a REAL job!*

[20 Ton Squirrel]

I'm with BillyT-san. I rather like _level10. Has a nice ring to it. So, rather than supplying my own suggestions (which suck) I'll just put my vote on his. Nyar.

[Tink]

well i'm sure i voted _level10 a while ago. sounds kewl i reckon.
