I prefer metazen to metazens.

I just think the domain would be better focusing on what the place is about, instead of trying to pigeonhole its citizens directly... which will always come off a bit cheesy.

ETA: Ah, but I see metazen.com has gone. Never mind.

cough virtualmentality.com splutter, cough.. hiccup

Pigeonhole its metazens you mean!

Joshua Nightshade · 06-13-2008, 03:17 PM

Off of the theme meta- these were all the suggestions I gave Cris.

Now I'm really not enthused on any of them but I hate them less than this or vulvaverse.

metaverbal.com
metamentality.com

But like I told him he might as well just register box.com and let that be the end of it.

Well, in the singular form, I read it as meta + zen as in enlightenment.

In the plural, I read it as meta + zens as in citizens.

I like Metazens. It sounds more dignified than Pixel Lives. Or you could just put dashes between S, L, and U and call it a day.

I like metamentality.com.

The reason I like virtualmentality.com so much is because it's an obvious spin on virtualreality, and if this place is to become a forum for virtual worlds in general... well it describes our common interest, or mentality.

OK, my explanation went the way of cheese, but what the hell.

Joshua Nightshade · 06-13-2008, 03:21 PM

I don't like meta but I dislike virtual more.

Ayu Sura · 06-13-2008, 03:23 PM

So... anything involving people who participate in virtual worlds looks like fair game.

Too bad Metapolitan isn't available. I like that.

I don't think I can take this kind of rejection.

Ayu Sura · 06-13-2008, 03:25 PM

Metapolity?

(Julian May uses "polity" a lot in some of her books...)

(oh darn nvm, it's political)

Walker Moore · 06-13-2008, 03:26 PM

OK, I'm with josh.

We're never going to help Cris make his mind up.

I think he should go ahead with what he likes best.

Or box.com

That sounds kind of naughty. It bounces all over the place.

I like it.

FlipperPA Peregrine · 06-13-2008, 03:29 PM

How about naming is something like, I dunno, maybe Second Citizen?

I had to log back in when I saw where this poll was going.

When I get back next week if this place is called metazens, I will be..... disappointed.

I use that term the way the mafia does, btw.

HOW ABOUT META-THAMPHETAMINES.COM??

Ayu Sura · 06-13-2008, 03:42 PM

Saucey Barbecue · 06-13-2008, 03:46 PM

I voted for "PixelLives".

Reason being, Pixel was the name of the kitten in the book The Cat Who Walks Through Walls by Robert A. Heinlein.

I can't help but readin' it as "Pixel Lives".
