You guys can still express your feelings towards the name or come up with new ones etc. but it will not get changed. Just an FYI.

That's right, maybe we should come up with a nickname that we all agree with, just like ST, instead of a name for the port... personally I already got used to the name... even though I found out today

How 'bout ZM?

I didn't like the name at first, but it's something we'll all find a way to live with eventually.

I'm late too, and I thought that Zandronum was stupid. After reading over "Infernum" and "Gavil," I can safely stick with Zandronum. It's starting to grow on me anyways :P

Btw, I first read it as Zanbronum for some reason.

"Zamboni" was another suggested name, to a slightly hilarious effect.

re: "Zamboni" Hrm... That would lead to...

Protip to the lexdysic Zambronies out there: To keep from transposing the O and R to make Zandorum, add Zandronum to your dictionaries.

It's pretty hard to think of a new is as good as Skulltag (see essel's post). I kinda dislike the current name, which to me, sounds more like some kind of fantasy game than a Doom source port, really. And while Skulltag is easy to remember (it's such an easy name that if your interested in playing you will most certainly remember it), Zandronum is way too complicated (even as I speak I have to look around the page to see if I'm spelling it right, lol). I disagree here with people saying that the name doesn't matter once people get used to it. I think it does matter though, not for the people already here, but for the new people. If a friend would say to me that he found an online Doom source port. Skulltag will be a lot easier to remember than Zandronum.

But I guess we just have to live with it. As it's already too late to come up with something else. And as said, people will probably get used to it and forget about this discussion.

Most people I've spoken to still regard, and call this port Skulltag anyway. I don't think I can get used to a port that is a rip-off name of ZDaemon anyway.

The port name sounds like a medicine.
