Okay, should this site really be called "Era of Manipulation", or rather something else (similar perhaps, but not quite the same as the original site)?

Please note that I will not base my decision solely on this poll. But before I make any decision about it I want to get a better idea how important this question might be to how many people.

If you vote "yes" for a change of name, please also post here with one or two suggestions, if you have any. I have one or two ideas of my own that I think might work, but a little brainstorming might still be a good idea.

I suggest something not so suggestive, but creative. Something with initials would be preferable.


I suggest....

Hmm.

Age of Exploit?

Libertine Age/Era?

Given that most people don't seem to care too much - and the Yes and No camp is split evenly - I am keeping the EoM name for now.

If any new arguments either Pro or Con come up, just let me know and I'll reconsider.

The latest news on the naming question:

Rhea has ask me if I would be kind enough to change the name, and, as I have once told her I would if she asked for it, we are looking at a name change somewhere in the close future (within a week or two, I'd say).

Any more suggestions what the site could be named?

To be honest, I've no clue. Era of Manipulation never fit the site, in my opinion. But I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions, either.

Something in Latin? :P It's not like we're searchable, anyway, so it's not really like it makes a difference what we change the name to.

Oh, please nothing in Latin. I was an abyssmal failure at Latin in school, and my skills haven't improved since then. I, for one, would like to understand what the title means without need for a dictionary. :P

Plus, the no-advertising policy may change one day. I don't intend to change it today or tomorrow, maybe never, but it can't hurt to have something that will be "marketable", just in case.

The more I think about it, the more I like Modrid's "Libertine" suggestion.
–noun
1. a person who is morally or sexually unrestrained, especially a dissolute man; a profligate; rake.
2. a freethinker in religious matters.
3. a person freed from slavery in ancient Rome.

It's not entirely unfitting, I would say, but more suggestions would still be very welcome. The more the better. :)

Throw in another vote for the Libertine idea from a morally unrestrained rake.

Give me time Dev, give me time. Though I do not see how it is relevant to the topic.

Okay, so Libertine Age it will be from now on. Welcome to LA. :D

It'll take me a moment to hunt down the most obvious references to "EoM", but I'll try to catch them all. ;) If - by Monday - someone still spots a reference to "Era of Manipulation" anywhere outside a regular post (i.e. in any 'official' "about the forum" post), please point me to it.

Whoa cool!! I named the site! This is sweet.
-accepts little statue-

I'd like to thank the admin, for voting me in, and Dev and Illzt'rak for not saying "no" or bashing the idea.... and my parents! For raising such a smart, and clever daughter... You like me! You really, really like me!



Regardless. I'm pumped. Can I also suggest a background change to LA?

....Oooh. That had a nice ring to it.

Feel free to suggest a change to the background if you must. But please something that is generic enough to not emphasize any specific aspect of the forum (like future, fantasy, master/slave), as it's a pretty mixed setting that doesn't lend itself easily to one specific image. And it has to be something that works with both themes (and possible future themes), and something that repeats easily for people on different monitor sizes... and ...

Not saying I am opposed to a change of background. Just saying it might not be easy to find one that works well.
