who cares though + who actually tells peope in real life about this place anyways?

it doesn't have to be irl people you're referring to the site. also that was more of a hypothetical situation should this place ever improve and you wanted to tell someone about it. like if i'm on irc and wanted to tell someone about this cool site with interesting people, i'd hesitate with a name as dumb as saltw. at the very least i'd have to preface it by saying "i know the name is stupid, just ignore it, trust me." i know it's not an issue right now, and hasn't been for this place in many years, but if the people in charge are serious about turning this place around then the name issue is definitely something that would hold it back.

ever see that simpsons episode when you were a kid that was about ned opening a store for left-handed people? and then homer encounters people during the day who could use left-handed products but hesitates to tell them about the store because he hates ned? saltw is ned.

im the last carefucker standing.

My suggestion:

step one: Collect all the (serious) name suggestions. Use common sense, shrug your shoulders/roll your eyes if someone manages to 'sneak' in a joke name. Use names that you can find in an this topic and perhaps a future dedicated topic just for name suggestions or just have people PM you name suggestions for a time period.

step two: Set up a poll, I'd argue make it multiple choice if there are a lot of suggested names. Maybe have it so people have have a "first choice", "second choice" etc. that would effect the weight of their individual votes (Is this possible? I wish it was). Have the poll last at least a week and pin it in general for all to see. Hide results until the end of the poll. Consider locking it.

step three: Set up one last poll that includes the top three results of the first one, keep it up for a day or two, the winning name of this poll gets to be the name of the site.

Why 2 polls? When people see the remaining 3 options its possible they may reconsider there favorite names and vote for something else among the top results.

This is how I'd do it at least. This'll do a decent job of avoiding future discussions about the friggin' name of the site because most people should be at least somewhat ok with the name. (given that it was a name they voted as a second or third choice if that type of poll is manageable)

I thought we already decided on bitbusterclub. what the hell are you people talking about??

step 1: Find the one website name suggestion that is the absolute farthest separated from possibly revealing that it represents a website formerly known as "gaming world".

step 2: Use that name.

Takes your post seriously: Still too broad. People will still bring up the name or something and complain. We need to end this discussion by coming up with a concrete name and putting it to as fair a vote as possible.

it would help if anyone even knew what this place was supposed to be. assuming there will never be a mainsite and another misguided attempt at a revival, if it were up to me i'd just change the name to "gw" or create some new backronym that fits those two letters.
