Uzmakk,
Not that it's my call, but it sounds good. It's needs an apostrophe, though.

978. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 1:11:27 AM

Quite right, Dantheman.

979. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 1:12:33 AM

Ofcourse, we will fancy up the typography a bit.

980. CalGal - 2/3/2000 1:38:21 AM

Uz,

I'm not happy with referring to our discussions as "chat". I think that gives the wrong impression?

But I might have an atypical response to the word.

981. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 2:46:18 AM

I pondered that very point, Cal. "Talk", ofcourse, was the alternative word. But "chat" seems to be the generic term for what goes on at sites like ours. I don't think that it will be that off putting to the socially challeged, egocentric, arrogant, self-promoting, nerdy bastards that we are trying to attract. Remember, its only to bring them in. Whether they decide to stay, well, that's another question.

982. CalGal - 2/3/2000 2:48:58 AM

Oh, I do think it will be offputting to that group, which is a key demographic for us.

It wouldn't be offputting to the more friendly sorts who don't think "chat" is a perjorative.

983. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 2:53:51 AM

Talk so good it's news. Sounds like a talk-radio commercial, but the meaning would be obvious enough with the web address.

984. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 2:55:44 AM

ehwwww!!! A talk-radio commercial. That makes "talk" a perjorative.

985. CalGal - 2/3/2000 3:04:13 AM

Yeah, I agree--talk doesn't work. Discussion is too long; it needs to be one syllable. Hmm. I shall chew.

986. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 3:12:20 AM

How about "Be Part of a New Equation" for the Spence types.

987. CalGal - 2/3/2000 3:14:32 AM

Hey, I like that better. Obscure but catchy.

988. Uzmakk - 2/3/2000 5:57:08 AM

I recall you guys were throwing out slogans a while back. I liked--

"Come for the character assassination, stay for the mental abuse."

989. CalGal - 2/3/2000 6:48:46 AM

Yes, I think that's good too. Maybe a bit milder, though, so as not to scare the timid?

(Just "practicing", to see if I've got the linking instructions right.)

Here is a link to "The Daily Howler".

You are an excellent student, grasshopper.
