Wait, that fart stuff was no joke? And you're really serious??
Well, of course, it's your decision, but just don't expect us to think it's a good decision.
Unreal Software may not be the best name, but Funky Farts? ugh...
Followed the whole Thread since the beginning. I understand why DC didn't want to go with any of the suggestions - but Funky Fart? Understatement doesn't have to make something bad. Or at least not that much. You wouldn't call it Crap Games, Shit Soft or something like that. I see why you don't want to stick to something "epic"... Names containing godlike or apocalypse or likewise often sound like an attention seeking 5-year-old came up with that name for his "world shaking" and so innovative studio... And yeah, unreal goes a bit in that direction...
IMHO, generic already provides a classy level of understatement. Where do you live, what street? What's your favourite food? The name of the hill you like to run up? A catch phrase people in your neighbourhood use... Where do you go for a swim..? There are so many everyday questions to which perhaps one answer might be the generic part of the name you're looking for
I personally don't mind the Funky part at the beginning but Fart is just not so appealing whatsoever, you could've chosen something else than that. Maybe you can open a poll with lots of names which start with Funky (excluding Fart) and have different lasting names. In this way you can let the community decide which name for the website would suffice. My two cents anyways.
I beg to differ. Unreal Software is really misleading to the point that some (or a few) newcomers think it has to do with Unreal series games by Epic Games which is of course not true.
Seems like, DC can't really get over the fact that community dislikes his idea. Wow. That's actually childish. Being angry at people and saying how genius you are and they are not, because They don't understand your briliant idea.
In my opinion, You're making a mistake letting them belive that they would actually have a serious impact on your decisions.
It's your site. These are your games. You made the unreal software. If You want to change the name to funkyfart, just do it. You like it and that's literally the most important thing. There's really no need for behaving like offended dad, because his kids didn't like the idea of going fishing on sunday's morning. You're the father, which sounds weird, of this entire community and You have the power. Do what you want. Instead of letting people shitpost here and letting them try to convince you to change your mind, close the topic. Prepare a new one with a logo, some fancy words, present it as a bright future for upcoming changes and improvements. Funkyfart will sell then.
Unless it's just a huge joke and You're laughing at everyone getting so pissed, because You've decided to go with such a childish name.
Although, I have a feeling You're serious about it.
Anyway, remember that the only opinion that actually matter is your own. Do what you want.
However, You will have to be able to face all the consequences of rushing with decision like that. You will have to have balls to face all the hate and moaning people. You will never be able to please everyone.
I'm disappointed with the name really, sounds like some comedy studio or something. Please make a poll just to see if people like it before making it official.
I also have to say I'd also be disappointed with the name Funky Fart. Even just typing it makes me want to leave.
I fear that if this were the name it would guarentee only kids would bother checking it out. We all love a good fart joke from time to time, but there's no way in hell I'd be able to convince any of my non-CS2D friends to take the game seriously with that name. Stranded, sure, but not an online shooter. And we really need new players to take CS2D seriously.
In the end, I suppose something with "fart" in it would be perfect for vaporware.
@ DC: If you are really serious with the name Funky Fart, then I suppose we must have a poll to decide whether to use it. In this post you can see the majority of us(the ones posted) oppose to the idea. You are the website owner, the name change is in your disposal. But the name would really deter new comers as they can hardly relate a fart to a community dedicated to gaming and such.
