"Revora" sucks. What the hell is a "revora"? Older networks like eclipse and fedNET used cool names, or names that actually meant something. This network uses a random assortment of letters, and anyone who hasnt been here would never guess it was a modding community...

The closest thing to "Revora" is "remora". Here's dictionary.com's entry for remora.

"Any of several marine fishes of the family Echeneidae, having on the head a sucking disk with which they attach themselves to sharks, whales, sea turtles, or the hulls of ships. Also called shark sucker, suckerfish, suckfish."

We dont want this network's name to sound close to the name for a SUCKfish, do we? I think not. :grin:

Yknow, Prime, lemme tell you something. I've had this argument out with D and the other staffers before. And I brought up the remora argument.

Thing is, D refused to compromise. :grin: Funny, yknow...that's quite a common trend here. Anyway, I digress.

I'd like it changed too. Aurora would have been cool IMO. But still. You should've seen the OTHER names D came up with. I've even said this to him...the main method D uses for coming up with names is to hit his head on the keyboard to see what comes up. That's how he came up with Revora, but he's not admitting to it...comes up with something about the sun that makes no sense :) Again, I digress.


What would you like it changed to? Don't say Primenet. :) If we can get a bit of support behind it, it might make a few heads turn. I have never liked the name either, to tell you the truth. Same goes for Ralert.

Well I think Revora is a good name. I don't know what it means, or what remora means, but I like 'Revora'.

I agree with Prime on this one.

Blaat, if you'd read the first post, Prime defined remora. :grin:

I know that, but I didn't know what it ment before he said it.
But one could likely say that house and mouse are the same words, also only one character different. Revora is something different than remora, as is a house from a mouse.
Besides, we're all used to ' Revora' (at least the most of us I think), why suddenly, after more than a year, change its name?

Blaat, "Revora" sucks. It has no meaning. We ought to just name it eclipse...

@CJ -

Aurora is a good name, but not for a modding network name.
How does "Conquerer Studios", or "United Gaming"? "United" kind of plays on the "Unity is One" theme.

I like Eclipse, though. :grin:

The sun rises and falls, revolving round the earth.
The sun gives out light, like an aura.
revo + ra = revora


When picking a name, you should follow some guidelines:
- It can't already exist. The Eclipse Modding Studio exists, so you can call Revora Eclipse.
- The domain must be free. No point calling it eclipse if the domain eclipse.com is already taken.
- It also helps if the name is unique and can build into a brand.
My own personal rule:
- Must not be a word. "David" is a name. "Revora" is a name. "Fenring" is a name. "Prime" is a word. "Nation" is a word. "Aurora" is a word.


It is almost impossable for a group of people to decide on a name, as names are so personal.

We are NOT a modding network. We are a CREATIVE network. Get it through your 12 year old skull that we are not changing the network to suit your idea of perfection. I think I should have banned you for longer.

Well, when it comes to writing an expository essay about counter-insurgent tactics, I'm of the old school. First you tell them how you're going to kill them. Then you kill them. Then you tell them how you just killed them.

So D, you're saying revora is short for 'revolving aura'? Sounds... psychedelical to be honest.

Dude, chill... :grin:
I was just making a suggestion... I never said that the NETWORK should be changed, and I was using "modding network" as an example. So just back off. I honestly think you're TRYING to find some tiny bit of an insult in every one of my posts, just to give you some reason to ban me longer.

Okay, here's something useful: Get a decent site name. Not one that sounds like it came from someone who's been doing shrooms for ten years.

Hey, maybe you're right for a change. You got on my bad side, and now I am going to find any little excuse to ban you. Get used to it, and stop being a twit.
