New Beginnings
So - we have our own server now. Finally, we are in control of our own destiny.
Unfortunately, growth usually doesn't happen without some kind of pain, and in keeping with this, we're having trouble getting our old domain name (blogblok.com) back.
BUT - since all you good people have been complaining about our name anyway - let us make lemonade and choose a new one.
Give me your suggestions, and I'll systematically go through them to check that they are available. If we choose yours you win... NOTHING! But you'll feel pretty good about yourself. So go on then - show us how easy it is to find a cool, available name.

Adminguy
OH, God...here we go again....JUST CHOOSE ALREADY AND GET IT DONE...it makes no REAL difference, anyway. We're not going to up and leave cos we don't like the frikken name....
NOSSIE JY MOET KONSENTREER!
Look up. See the date this was posted.
Blush.
As you were.
*DOH*
Aaaa...I see... the header....Fuuuuuck, this cold medicine is gooooood stuff...mixed with a little something else...which I was expressly told NOT to do.....oh, well, you only live once...
haha.
oh man this is funny.
adminguy
... are you aiming to increase the number of bloggers here? i remember the good old days, when i had an article that had 3821 reads ... written under a pseudonym, what's the big deal about replicunts, anyway? i need a couple of personae to express myself, and that's just in real life...
blog name
sheesh, i was so busy, i missed this whole discussion. are we stumped?
i kinda liked "onelongminute"
new nmae for blog
.. just realised the name needs to be short, so that bloggers can be something along the lines of "blogmarkers" (not onelong minuters ...)
OMJ
how much pinotage have you had this afternoon?
dex
clearly not enough, 'cos then i fall off my chair, and stop making a right tosser of myself ...
going home now. cheers.
omj
you should see me and Duthty carrying on some nights - trust me, this is nothing!
Dekth
I had to go to a tax seminar on Friday morning.
I swear my fumes intoxicated the poor oke sitting in front of me.
Pinotage? Hmm. OK. Must go do something now. Bye.
Maybe a merlot?
admin guy
love the new header!
uber cool.
OMJ
onelongminute is what came out of this whole discussion.
(Dex gave a magnificent sales pitch with bells, whistles and threats of witholding privileges if we refused him. I kinda like OLM too.)
haha dm
i thought it had been onelongmnute for ages ...
okay, you caught me speed-reading, trying to catch up. had madly busy week, didn't really touch sides ...
oops!
oh, and it's omj, i'm definitely a lower-case kind of person(a)
Oi Adminoke
it's not a fucken democracy.
make a decision. something you like.
Fuck the populace.
If we don't like it, what are we gonna do? Leave?
Duuuuh!
Said the crack whore to her dealer.
I don't think so!
ah, Dolce.
i laff you.
Okay scatterlings
ja I like it. Any objections?
you guys going to piggy back on
on the iscatterlings.com blog?
clever.
990 reads!
how about jabberblog.com?
it is all people seem to do here. jabber, jabber, jabber...
Aslam
People also chirp here alot but you dont see anyone wanting to call it blogchirp, now do you? Pffttt
blogchirp
now i like that.
no need to get so worked up. love the jabber. yours in particular.
they say flattery will get you everywhere
and you have such pretty toes.
Flattery Aslam
Is not getting you anywhere near my toes!
thanx though
really?
i will woe you with my poetry
Poetry, shmoetry
It will take more than that so I dont even suggest you try.
oh! oh! oh!
what about Ass-slam.com? You'd like that one, wouldn't you?
having fantasies
about me again are you?
for the last time!
i am not that kind of guy. ok.
wordspanner.com
I think that's the one I like.
Yes.
Getting kinda irritated with this now, and don't really feel like making lists and so on and so forth.
So if there aren't any major objections....
Um Aminguy
if I tell my friends where I blog, they gonna laugh at me.
Ag Thleaf
they already do so what's the harm?
Vapour
No they don't !! but now they will :(
Sies Vapour
Be nice to Liefling.
I OBJECT
it sucks.
but, whatever.
Neither do I
Also dont like it but I guess whatever you name it wont stop me coming back.
don't like it either
'Ja-write' was cool.
but
it's fine, eitherway.
mm - but arb
Ja Write makes us sound like a bunch of stoned Jamaicans....
awww c'mon guys
work with me here... And i also dont thing "ja-write" will work so well.
Ja
write. Perhaps one just needs to become more corporate and succumb to "Blogville".
okay FINE
we'll keep deliberating then.
i think
that wrist-gnawing aziwhotsit had some cool ideas.
but for fucksake don't tell him i said that. in fact - admindude - delete this comment.
no can do.
and i thought they kinda sucked, anyway.
scatterlings
it felt like that for a while after those fuckers at amashitheads left us out all adrift. homeless.
hmm. okay i'll make the list
of the nominations when I have some time. Or someone else could make it... someone ELSE.... a VOLUNTEER... who feels like HELPING ME A LITTLE....
quite like the Scatterlings.com one, i think...
grrrr...
okay i'll just do it my damn self then.
fuck.
Scatterlings
is the best name I have ever heard for a blog site in my life. !!!! It also rhymes with Liefling which sorta is the feeling of deep seated love for one another that floats throughout this site.
err Vhaypour
it SO doesn't rhyme you friggen rooinek. Lieflieng?? Sheesh.
Dekshroom
ja you are write. But I am serious I really do like scatterlings and by the way I am not a rooinek!! Soutpiel!
oops
here we go again. Wenablog?
fuck off vapour
go smoke a joint.
No KC
that won't work its too long.
anything then Dex
is fine.
Dex

Wordspanner

Some other suggestions:
Motleyblog (mots is the french word for words)
Motleycrew
Motleyscribes
mirabilis - Year of wonders (latin) - could also possibly be BlogusMirabilis.
BlogusMaximus
Scribetrybe
Scrybetribe
Cyberscribes
And the winner is...
ta da daaaaaaaa.......
adminguy!
Closing in on 200 comments in just over 12 hours. Yho.

I know this is off the topic...
but can anyone suggest a good show/live event to go to. Feel like being all cultural (??) and going to a show/live event?
sems
go to www.jozi.org.za or check out computicket. i have some free tickets for something or other, but it ain't all that cultural.
now - stop deviating from the topic.
Sorry Dwergie
I have checked out computicket but dont know whats good. Any recommendations? Anyone? Anyone?
Doesnt have to be cultural.... at this point I will even go for Kurt Darren just to get out.
I'll check out the jozi site. Thanx.
Oops.... sorry!
*goes to the corner with the dunce cap*
sems
Apparently the Lion King is excellent. A person who's opinion I value said it was better than the London version.
And the London version was good.
ya - lion king is good
but i think it's over? a friend of mine is the director and he said they were off to china in Jan with the production.
The Write Company is having a little get together this evening...
Dwergie
Think its ending in Feb... so a few more weeks. Yep... 17 Feb as per computicket.
Thanks Dolce
I also heard it was very good. Will put it on my list. Think its only showing here till 17 Feb or something so will have to check it out in the next couple weeks.
- Kurt Darren
- Steve Hofmeyer (sp?)
- Lion King
Hey I see they have a 'James and the Giant Peach' play and something about life on the Cape Flats :)
What the hell is wrong with you people?
you set up this big 'get to know your fellow blogger' convention, and then you want to go out somewhere where you can't talk?
w
e
i
r
d.
Dex, in the words of Dusty...
jy moet konsentreer boet!
This was a question I asked because I want to get out. Was just looking for recommendations to add some culture and spice to my existence.
We are having our 'get to know your fellow blogger' convention this evening and it is definitely at some place we can talk and laugh and get drunk and just fly away with it all.
Jaja Semi
I realised that a little too late.
I'll just be quiet for a little while now.
Dex
Here's the 'dunce' cap thats been going around today. Seems like you've earned it.
Go sit in the corner.
...
ok semi.
Dex
*pats Dex on the head* I like a guy who is all meek and subservient and who listens.
good boy
do NOT
push your luck now, little girl.
Sorry Dex
:(
Semi
*pats Semi on the ass* I like a girl who is all meek and subservient and who listens.
good girl
Haha
oops.
I'm blushing now.
No need to correct me... i know i know....
dex
I before E, except after C.
However Dwergie
Weird is one of those rare words where it works both ways....
weird or wierd .... but I think wierd just looks weird :)
This whole name thing
Have decided i don't give a rat's arse.
i like you folk, with a handful of exceptions. you could call it any damn thing under the sun and i'll be here.
well dwergie
I know I am a handful so who are the exceptions? Come on don't hold back just tell.
Dwergie's Kill List
Adminguy
Thleaf
Azixael
Plus a bunch of other lamers who I can't even be bothered to list.
Are we any
closer to a short list yet, Adminguy????
My vote still "Ja-Write"....
Idea Noss
A short list (of about 5 names) that admin guy thinks could work and that is still available and we all vote. The name with the highest vote is the winner. Thats a democratic process.
Not yet Nos
We have lots of time, no need to make a rash decision.
WritersBlog
I like that suggestion of Noss but since its taken maybe a variation.... or a variation of the other favourites that are taken.... like change a letter in the word or something. I also like Noss's bloglab. That sounds dangerously close to exploding.
My 2 cents - WritersBlok, Blogbiz, whizzblog, BlogCorner.
Woah! WRITERSBLOK???????
That is just stupid.
go stand in the corner with a dunce cap on your head.
Right Dwergie
and your suggestions have been really amazing. Pffttt!!! You suffer from 'small lady' syndrome, right?
Well pass me the cap then... *mutters under breathe*
semi-stooopid
listen - i had Blogwiser.
careful chick. i may be short, but i have sharp things in my bag.
Dwergie
Oh... one smart suggestion and that makes you Einstein?
Hmmmm..... is that where you keep your wit?
lol dwergie
my other name for sems is semi dealyed but i like your one better. now sems i was chatting to you on the other side please reply...you have to save me this weekend...
Fuck you Ally
.
hahaaaaa
i love you tooo, pfffft.
EVERYONE
JUST CALL IT WHIZZDANGPOPZING.COM...jeeez, whatever...we aint going anywere, anyway....
Wordpimp?
wordpimp.com
VAPS - PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE
get your rocks off soon!
;)
Arbs
you mean boulders!
Ok got it!
Skabanga.com.
What no takers?
What about Budablog? You know like budabling budablog?
Blogwiser
...
Nuts and pretzels
with that Dwergie? I like that.
Dex. You and me, outside.
where is my Dwergie nick?
huh?
i was getting quite fond of that.
*poof*
that's where it's at.
dexshroom
pistols at dawn dude.
i am telling you.
Oiy - Chas???
Aren't you bitches gonna tell us about your evening?
And where the hell are the bloody feet pics?
sod off arb
that's only tonight.
Oh....ok - just thought after all the hype.....you know....
my mistake.....*GRIN*
The list of suggestions
is without a doubt, some of the saddest shit I have ever read.
err... Arb
you contributed, like half.
hehe.
err....Dextra
I know plumcakes.....
but the best is YET to come:
BlogSnap!
*taa daa*
Velly nice Cheekin
and I like the presentation too:
*taa daa*
you could sell the hair off a dog, you!
Dex.....you didn't see the half of it
It was furthermore presented with the following additional perks:
- Crack of long wooden pointer on the desk
- Cheesy grin
- Full tilt bow
- Left boob popping clear out of the top of corset (on administering bow)
- R50 note following left boob
- Cheesy grin numero 2
Well
that's me!
Where do I sign?
Right here liscious....
on my right buttock! Oooooooooooh....and please use a SHARP pencil...
690BLOG
...
Sounds kind of Irish
Makes me think of that Irish internationational soccer player that hit the crossbar or three consecutive penalties...
What was his name again?
Oh yes, Rick O Shea...
Like the Irish Electrician
Sean D'Lear.
aai
jaai
jaai.
We don't need
the word "blog" to form part of the name in my opinion. If you searched for the word blog, it would be drowned out by millions of search results. The real pulling power of a blog will come from key words that search engines find in our blog.
Jaja Gaz
I realised that too. Somewhere in all these comments.
smartass.
OIY!!!!!!! Don't we have to have the word BLOG in it!!!
to attract new meat?
What about BlogNoveau or BlogXchange
or Blogmarket or BlogWharts or BlogWars
blogworts... cool arbs
its quite possible to enter this space as a queen and leave transformed into something small and unsavory!
blogwarts
please.
can nobody see that there is a problem with this?
Yes KChas....it's too much about
YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU......ya know?
Always YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU, YOU
*sigh*...
arbie - if you have genital warts,
i see no need to paint the rest of us with the same brush.
x.
ouch Chaz - eeeuuuuuuwww
I don't think I like your tone, gnome! Now back into the garden!
K "See Me!"
that's nasty.
Stand on a chair, you'd be much more visible.
Like Hogwarts?
yikes.
yes....something like that....
only less cool.
Like KC, Morty?
oh no, wait. She was always like that.
Then we can also go with BlogMosh
I dunno!
Arbie
As in "mosh-pit"??? BlogMarsh?
As in mosh pit.....
Moshing comes in many forms.....1. The bodyslam - this is achieved by launching yourself into the air by jumping (so can be used in combination with pogoing easily and making physical contact with another mosher using the upper part of your body.
2. Another method is to shove and push people in the pit. Using you palms of your hands, remember of course that moshing is controlled agression and it's not the point to inflict harm deliberately on people. Then simply give them a gentle shove.
See - like we like to do here!
*errr...where's my meds*
BlogMosh
I agree arbs.
It's exactly what we do here!
WILL SOMEONE JUST FUCKING CALL FRALLIE?
Irritating trog that she is - she will have something utterly perfect.
Dolce - I know you can do this.
So, Adminguy
What's on you "short list"?
err well
nothing yet - have only checked availability here and there. Will need a little time for that.
but no blogbuddies or crotchblog or anything to do with shrooms.
here-be-tygers.com
?
or dragons or whatever.
pixelhated.com ?
?
piranhaspot
,
k chas
i kinda like piranhaspot!
unfortunately - if we want to attract prospective bloggers on the search engines - it is wise to keep 'blog' in the name, yes?
pity though, because its constrictive.
How about
BlogPiranha(s)?
PiranhaBlog?
yeah nos
quite apt, i reckon - blogpredators - for the newbies.
Mort!
Thank heavens - some class at last!
C'm mort, blow us away...
Dusty
We are collectively "Mortified" at that comment.....what are we chopped liver???
Yeah Mort
Get up to speed quick and give us your thoughts.
BTW Adminguy & MR X
Ta for all your efforts to keep us periodic prima-donnas happy. I'm sure a lot of work went into pulling all this off. Cheers.
i am off to meetings
best nobody makes a decision while i am gone.
someone phone frallie - i know one you has her number.
Ahhhh
what about......Yeawrite.com
