Thoughts on the name

[Infirnex]

I think it's catchy honestly.
To make it better, we could have like a Zandronum pill in the port that does sometihng :P

One of my first thoughts was "I don't care for it"... The main issue being that it's a little obtuse to pronounce/spell without reading multiple times. Compare "Vavoom", which sounds incredibly silly (like some sort of all-purpose cleaner) but "clicks" immediately.

Changing it right now has two obstacles:

• Have we already crossed the "everyone knows it as that" threshold?
• Is it worth the funds for another domain registry?

[spoiler]Popups? Toggle buttons? I already despise the BBCode system on this forum kit.

Granted, most of the smileys seem to be animated for the hell of it. I've found animated smileys are even more likely to be used without reason other than "this gets attention".

Can we have a "gripe about the forum software" thread? :P[/spoiler]

I find it hard to remember and embarrassing to say out loud.

When I first heard the name, I was honestly at a loss as to why something so strange got chosen.
Then I realized once you've read/said/typed it a few times, there's no way you can forget it.
So I suppose it's kind of catchy, and considering a domain's already registered and everyone already knows it as such, I don't think there's really any turning back.

Man the current Doomsphere is so cool though. Perhaps a ZA pill could replace the Hellstone in possession?

The name sounds wierd to me, and it's not easy to remember.
When I first come in this site, I thought that I was in the wrong place. Name and outfit is totally non-Doom-related!
There is no sign of Doom! Where are all cacodemon images? and that website icon is totally misleading!

So, you want opinions on the name? Ok. Well, Im glad we got some change goin around here. I especially like the fact we are able to post again and our development team is actually able to function without "prior consent" from the "headmaster". Now that the head has been severed and you are able to work as a team, this port should grow very nicely now. Site looks great, love that most the servers have switched over already

The name? Well, I'm not going to say I hate it, because I don't. I initially didn't like it much, but it has started growing on me. No one could agree on a certain name, so the random choice works well I think. I say keep it, tho. What's done is done.

However, I think the logo could so some spicing up. Here's something I drew out in DoomBuilder in 5 minutes; its not perfect but an idea.

Thoughts?

Thoughts?

I'm digging that. I just think the one there atm looks too much like something from Descent.

[Catastrophe]

Why not just name it Jenova and get $1,000. It sounds cooler too...

[Samurai]

The name seems like a rip-off of zdaemon. Personally I think the staff should have taken a little more time of coming up with a name, as zandronum sounds pretty bad.

[The Toxic Avenger]

Actually, the Z came from Zdoom.

[Captain Ventris]

This is one of those things that anybody with a modicum of reason will get over within a couple weeks. If it's seriously that hard to remember, then just call it Zan and get it over with :P

[Torr Samaho]

Thoughts?

That's pretty good!

[Medicris]

Thoughts?

YES

With a high-res Zandronum helmet icon thing being the O, or filling the hole in the O?

[Krispy]

I find the name hard to remember and embarrassing to say out loud. It's got all the characteristics of a bad choice. If it was fine, would there be so much controversy?

Posts must be approved in here. So do not double post.

Because Internet.

[President People]

The name's not easy to remember at first (kept thinking of Zabutom, some old chiptune artist), but I think memorizing my user title helped a bit. ("Zan-dro-num. Remember it.")
