Re: What's in a name, they said. Reply #66 – December 21, 2012, 11:32:46 pm Could be an old cache file, I moved some of the inline stuff to the css cuz I was board and I'm going to mess with some other stuff cuz I'm still board

Re: What's in a name, they said. Reply #68 – December 22, 2012, 10:30:26 am Granted if I can do something dodgy in CSS or better hide some stuff in the sources to annoy him ... well it goes to the top of my list

Re: What's in a name, they said. Reply #70 – December 22, 2012, 10:34:49 pm I let a few days pass on this... let them idle in the back of the mind... with the dark intention to see which sticks.Result... There's one that comes back to mind immediately: elkarte.It feels right. I think it might be slightly unusual for English-American speakers because of its sound (hey it's Basque). Slightly unusual is something that sticks to mind, though...Coming together, grouping, association, community, circle of friends. It's rarely used, and apart the use for professional associations there's another on a "gourmets club" lol on the interwebz... But very very rare overall, IMHO we can let it mean what fits for us freely...It's not the only one, there are a few others which I remember without reading the topic... keskomunya (!)... melong... I think kusema doesn't count (for me) cuz the experiment of idle thoughts failed on that one (had it open in a tab)... agora of course but well.
Re: What's in a name, they said. Reply #71 – December 23, 2012, 07:41:23 pm Well we settled on Elkarte so the site moved to the domain while we could get it www.elkarte.net will bring up the site ... don't use the old dialogo site any longer ... I can't get it to redirect correctly for some reason so the handful of us will have to deal with it for a day
Re: What's in a name, they said. Reply #73 – December 25, 2012, 02:53:32 am I leave for a few days and come back to see that elkarte is the new name... I hate it. Its not catchy, it isn't easy to pronounce. Hell it even makes me think its a Spanich word for "the cart". Not a good choice at all IMO. Oh well...
