After the oldest game.

Yay for my lack of imagination.

Just call it /quest/.

Guys

The names not stupid (well, it is, but that's not the point)

The changing of the name is stupid. This is tgchan, and has always been tgchan. It always will be tgchan, even if it says something different in the address bar, because that's what people are used to it being. If we change the name, and people hear the new name and are like "what's that?" the answer won't be to describe the site, it'll be "that's tgchan". And then if somebody requires additional clarification, it'll be explained what tgchan is. The "official" change in name serves only to instill confusion among those who don't know what tgchan is.

tl;dr: This has always been tgchan, and thus always will be, regardless of domain changes.

I just want to say that I, personally, consider us a chan as long as we use any futaba-like software.

I mean, 4chan was named 4chan because the software was similar to 2ch and 2chan.

What Cruxador says is pretty much the truth. Maybe it was a mistake to call it tgchan, I think the decision was between tgchan and questchan , but changing it now will do more harm than good.
Pretty silly when the site's called quest.yiff or whatever and the IRC channels #tgchan and #rubyquest.
Also other references and pictures that use the original name.

And it is an image-board, being slow and way less frequent pruning of posts is pretty common for niche boards. The only somewhat special thing here are the archives.

If we really have to change it, here's a suggestion:

infinitepsyche.org

That's a reference to one of our most pervasive and iconic cultural traits, the Orb of Infinite Psyche. Less generic than "quest".

But for the record, I'm still against any change from tgchan.org, including this suggestion.

>>6350
The Orb of Infinite Psyche in unrelated quests is really dumb and should not be encouraged to start up again. Infinitepsyche.org is long, unwieldy, nondescript, and gay as fuck.

>>6352
And here I find myself agreeing with Lawyer Dog.
That's really not something that should happen to someone who tries to maintain at least the appearance of some personal dignity.

Also, what do you guys think about yiffy-cyoas.cx?

>>6352
>Gay as fuck
I thought you were trying to discourage it for a second there. <3

>>6320
>Storyboard
I forget if I suggested that or just seconded it, but I continue to suggest/support it.

>>6352
It's far from the worst that's been suggested, honestly.

>>6359
>>6320
Seems far less representative of what we are than any of the other serious suggestions.

I liked Questan.org

>>6359
Seconding this.

Storyboard sounds awesome. It doesn't even have 'quest' in it so we can say "Storyboard(SB?) quest" and not sound awkward. Besides, questan sounds like a verb! I dislike naming objects and places after verbs.

My 2 cents.

storyboard.what
Don't make me hurt you.

Supporting storyboard

questchan.org

Storyboard sounds like some pretentious animation community.

>>6373
I actually have to agree with Numbers on something. Besides, Storyboard's taken on all the legit TLDs.

Call it yif.fi people will know what to expect and half the site is from Finland anyways.

>>6373
Yep. That's what I was thinking when I posted>>6360
Because sure, we all have stories (even Gnoll, at the moment) and it's on a board, but Storyboard is a word that surpasses its composite to mean something else, and thus the ohsoclever pun becomes merely a confusion.

Questgponysitechanboardstory.tits

It bears mentioning that this site was meant to be connected to /tg/ when it was created. Remember the old slogan, "Like /tg/, but with more cutebolds"? If there's a lack of /tg/ content, I'd rather focus more on it than abandon it.

>>6391
I thought it was more like "/tg/, but with mods"

>>6391
Uh, not all of us were under that impression. I didn't think the /tg/ board would ever take off because a large portion of the userbase hanging around #rubyquest was there for, y'know, Ruby Quest, as opposed to /tg/ content, which is why I advocated for "not tgchan," and the subsequent history of the site has pretty much proven my hunch correct.

Ok fine, how about questcentral?

So, what, is this horrid redirect here to stay?

I'm still going to call it tgchan, damnit. Pointless political renames are for infighting open source projects.

>>6408
Along with project forks and entirely new development teams.

That's a good idea. As of this moment I hereby announce the founding of tgrubyquestboardchan.lv which is exactly the same thing except in slightly darker colors. It's obviously the superior version.

tgchan.org

tgchan.org

tgchan.org

Since I guess now we're just listing the name we want

bob.org

...

Shit, already taken.

Bob.co.uk is still available, though

quest.an sounds good

>>7140
Local presence in the Netherlands is required.

There is really no reason to do anything but tgchan.org. Also quest.lv sounds like some dubious spammer website and people refuse to click links of it.

>>7141
Clearly, the only option is to move to the bloody Netherlands.

Someone must be hiding a dutchman somewhere.

thatquestsite is growing on me. We can abbreviate it to TQS.

I do think we should be a .org and a shorter name is ALWAYS better, which is why I don't like thatquestsite.

>>7148
thatquestsite and tgchan are the same number of syllables!

>>7156
Not if you pronounce it the cool way.

>>7156
I don't care how long it is to say. Why would that matter? It's twice as many letters.

It's worth noting that people on /quest/ are still making references to the original name, even after the change.

If reverting to TGChan isn't an option, I'd prefer we keep the new name we've got now, since we've got it already.

>>7178
>If reverting to TGChan isn't an option
Of course it's an option. It's also looking to be the more popular option, based on posts in this thread. Something else could be more popular based on the vocalizing of people on IRC (I haven't had time to be on much lately) but if so then it's looking like that would be a case of a vocal minority.

And people call it tgchan because that's its actual name. That's just how names work, they don't necessarily correlate to "official" names.

I have to admit that pronouncing it 'quest la vie' grew on me fast enough that I can see that picking up after a while.

I'd love to see being reverted to TGChan again. Since as it was mentioned. It grew to us and other people are still referring to it as TGChan.

>>7196
I was going to say I wanted tgchan back but I didn't even think of pronouncing it like that. So now I'm fine with either.

So, it looks like it's been set up so that we can use either tgchan.org or quest.lv (or ponychan.info) without being redirected. I agree that's probably the best way to do it.
