Hey there, Forumwarriorz! Log in to see images!
As you might’ve heard, we’re going to be building an auction house where users can bid on and buy each others’ crap.
We’re trying to come up with a name for it. We’ve often parodied existing web services in the past, but we don’t have to this time. And while a lot of our stuff has gay/racist/generally evil themes, we don’t necessarily want to go down that road this time.
Please vote on what you think would work best, or write in your own suggestions. It should look good visually, be easy to identify, and fit in with the rest of the Forumwarz milieu.
If you want to explain your choice, post here! Log in to see images! |

But…I like eGay Log in to see images!
That said, “Affirmative Auction” makes it easily identifiable for new players who come in after it’s up and running. It’s also sorta clever, with mild racist overtones. My vote. Fingerz edited this message on 12/24/2008 10:33AM |

Can I make a write in for “Maybe now you whiners will STFU for five minutes.” It isn’t catchy, but I feel it captures the spirit of the thing. Log in to see images!
EDIT: I went with Affirmative Auction, but like Full of Sale, too. scully edited this message on 12/24/2008 11:00AM |

I’m torn between Full of Sale and SWIBT… even though I would have spelled the latter “CWIBT”.
Also, doesn’t ‘kyoubai’ sound more like ‘k, yo buy’? (why yes, I’m a nitpicking weeaboo Log in to see images! |

It probably would have, but we already have a gay-themed service (Bruce Bear) and it’s just a bit too obvious for our taste. There’s also a popular site in the UK called eGay already…according to my “research.” |

if there isn’t a landslide victory, i suggest run-off voting on the top 2-3 because that’s a lot of choices |

You could just call it beGay, in that case. Fingerz edited this message on 12/24/2008 11:56AM |

Of the choices, I like Bidsquid, because it makes no sense and would have a cool logo. I like Contrabid better. |
