If you could rename Keenspace, what would you rename it as?

Remember, we're being asked for a list, not one vote.

So, in the spirit of brainstorming:

Asylum
NotSpace
Geocities*
Noodle-something
Wild American Nuns Gyrating (WANG)
Pickle-something or something-pickle

*not really a vote

We'll just list it multiple times, then

*kidding* But if it appeals to a lot of people, I guess the probabilty of it appealing to the Fab4 is higher.

All that said, be careful, guys, and don't get too attached to a name that might not be chosen, or implemented if the idea doesn't work out.

More names!

Oh, Rubber Chicken? Queasy Quail!

how about inksots

seriously, i like inkspace, but it looks like someone's parked on it.

i'd like something that says art or implies it in the name

I had no idea Inkspace would be that popular.

Are we looking for a new NAME or a new NAME and DOMAIN? Would we be able to keep Keenspace.com if we have an entirely different name for it? Or would the big guys want a domain to go with our new name? Many excellent domains are taken.

I would think the name would be enough, perhaps with inkspace.keenspot.com and inkspace.keenspace.com pointing to the keenspace.com homepage. But that's just me.

Let's name our site after a forumer, we could be VileTerror.com

I was about to suggest K-space.
But then i thought it's better to leave it or K-Dawg would claim ownership of all our comics!

Bekka · Post by **Bekka** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 7:09 am

Or Kwikispace, like the Kwikimart in the Simpsons!

Inkspace

Very cool. Really like that one.

And I really hope all they change is the name of the site, not the domain. Otherwise...that's a LOT of rebuilding the rest of us have to do. Drop-downs, listings in places like Onlincomics and Buzzcomix, links we send to friends.

And if we absolutely want to keep the K in there somewhere, why not have it be the "KS-(insert new name here)", with the KS being Keenspot.

My name ideas:

Bedlam (because if you get involved in the forums, it is)
the Webcomic Melting Pot
Openspace
Studiospace

CW

Ooh! How about Keensput?

That'll clear up the confusion!

Um...

Doublespace?

They're more likely to budge than the good folk at space.com, though.

My vote goes to Kinkspace.

Barring that, uh, Keepspace? Kilnspace? Coinspace? KMallet in honor of Kisai or Kelly?

Evil Jamie! · Post by **Evil Jamie!** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 9:31 am

FreeSpace
ComicDrop (I dunno.)
Give us a chance, we're still learning
CreamCookie
Smashed Swan
It's 3:30am and I should be asleep
Digital somethingsomething

On a side note, I really wish the New Ninja Turtles series wasn't on in the morning. I'm never awake in the morning.

Vorticus · Post by **Vorticus** » Tue Sep 07, 2004 10:04 am

Let's see:

CosmicCarnival
KeenUniverse
InkAsylum

Maybe more later.

Inkspace and Openspace are GREAT names, but the dotcoms have been snatched already.

We can't seriously consider a name unless we're ready to pry the parked name loose with whatever funds are necessary to buy it.

As an alternative, here's one name not taken: Comic Commons

Commons are (according to wikipedia.com):

Commons are any sets of resources that a community recognizes as being accessible to any member of that community. The nature of commons is different in different communities, but they often include cultural resources and natural resources. An example of a cultural resource is a place "where everybody knows your name" (as in the TV program, Cheers); Ref. the book The Great Good Place by Ray Oldenburg.

Comic Genesis Forums

If you could rename Keenspace, what would you rename it as?
