Alright, the site rename is down to two names - Virtual Life Universe and Pixel Lives being the final two candidates. Which do you prefer. At this point, unless someone else comes up with a great name that also IS AVAILABLE (most of the suggestions made have not been available as .com domain), then it will be one of these two. VLU is the obvious transition, but Pixel Lives is more distinctive.

LeenaSerevi · 06-13-2008, 06:44 AM

I'm not keen on either, but I voted for VLU as it sounds more mature that Pixel Lives.

Fox Stirling · 06-13-2008, 06:51 AM

If I had to choose, VLU. Its easy to remember, and it feels like a more natural transition from SLU.

WarKirby Magojiro · 06-13-2008, 06:54 AM

how about Cristiano's House ?

Chalice Yao · 06-13-2008, 07:03 AM

Gridfest. You want Gridfest. *sagenod*

Not sure about .com availability tho ;P

Actually voting for PL tho in the poll above. Dunno. Virtual Life Universe sounds -too- transitional for me :|

Walker Moore · 06-13-2008, 07:05 AM

I find this really difficult.

Losing the SLUniverse/SLU identity that is.

Pixel Lives is far superior to Virtual Life Universe in my opinion. It's less cumbersome and has a much nicer bite. A shame it doesn't contract as well as Virtual Life Universe... but that's the only thing I can think of in VLU's favour.

Daman · 06-13-2008, 08:15 AM

Virtual Life Universe sounds too forced for me.

Pixel Lives, for sure. Has a much more fluid feel to it.

FlipperPA Peregrine · 06-13-2008, 08:49 AM

I really don't care, as long as it is the same crowd.

prinţesă nină · 06-13-2008, 08:51 AM

i reckon id try to keep my branding.
theslu.com or whatnot

Ann Launay · 06-13-2008, 09:22 AM

Pixel Lives sounds sort of soap opera-y to me...I don't love VLU, but I prefer it over the other.

What does pixel lives even mean? Meaningless = forgettable.

Didn't Joshua say he'd quit if it was VLU or something? That's a point in it's favour right there!

Joshua Nightshade · 06-13-2008, 09:38 AM

I said I'd quit if he renamed it to "virtualworldly". So did 18 others.

Cris wants to rename SLU to virtualworldly.com

Sarah Nerd · 06-13-2008, 09:39 AM

Pixel Lives FTW!!!

Aodhan McDunnough · 06-13-2008, 09:41 AM

I find VLU slicker. PixelLives for some reason never appealed to me in the least.

Love · 06-13-2008, 09:41 AM

Cris,

May I humbly suggest "virtualworldly.com"?

It's VERY least of evils for me. Virtual Life Universe is klunky and I agree Pixel Lives is too dramatic. SL Universe is the best of the three, but if you must drop it then go with VLU

Melodie Baxton · 06-13-2008, 10:51 AM

I like, voted, and stuff. Or something.

Things.

Cristiano · 06-13-2008, 10:53 AM

Keep one thing in mind - Virtual Life Universe will be vluniverse.com . It comes down to a difference of one letter.

Dnate Mars · 06-13-2008, 10:54 AM

It looks like it is going to be a dead heat. Cris, just pick.

So tempted to say "V is for..."

Yeah, I'm going to have to. Bah. I should have gone with my original idea of SexBox360.
