I didn't realize people thought it was important enough to actually do.

Trying to distance ourselves from /tg/ is not only unnecessary but also inaccurate. I know we're mainly about quests, but that trend started at /tg/ as a form of roleplaying.

And think about all the stuff we've got in them. We've got goblins, kobolds, D&D-style fantasy worlds, Exalted, most of our quest authors, and basically a bunch more stuff which we brought from /tg/.

We've even got our own /tg/ board. It's not all that active, but we've still got some posting going on there.

So I'm fine with not trying to distance ourselves.

Why are you purposely changing to anonymous (or even using proxies! Maybe you are using proxies because you're agreeing with yourself I don't know!) in a thread about who wants or does not want the change? You guys are silly.
>>6243
We've got a /meep/ board which is effectively /b/, being an any subject board, and proto-quests were on /b/. Clearly we should be bchan
We've got a /draw/ so why aren't we drawchan.
The /tg/ board barely any posts, and it really wouldn't be missed much if it just got folded into /meep/.
We are a quest community foremost and the name TGChan implies otherwise. To put TG in our name implies that we are mainly about Traditional Games, or Transgenders. The chan implies to many people that we are similar to 4chan, which comes with more negative connotations than positive.
Anyone that is deeply involved in the site and cares a lot about it is in the IRC, where this discussion was very rampant. I guess you guys just don't really care about the site. :smugdog:

But... we are. We're an offshoot of 4chan, we're set up in the same format, and where do you think most of us came from?

>Anyone that is deeply involved in the site and cares a lot about it is in the IRC, where this discussion was very rampant. I guess you guys just don't really care about the site. :smugdog:
I'd just like to take a moment to say fuck the IRC. I don't see why anyone should need a second source to care about a site, especially if the primary source is, apparently, not the site itself.

So, yeah. I didn't bother coming up with arguments for or against anyone else in this thread because that last line just made me irrationally angry.

Quests is a narrower category than Traditional Games, and Quests is what we are. I even addressed this in my post that you just quoted! Why not just name it GChan? I mean Traditional Games are one hell of a Game after all.

I didn't say we were not like 4chan in ways, but that the chan name comes with negative connotations that I believe quest.lv does not contain. We're a slower moving site, we have a single main purpose, we have IDs, and the communities are different.

I was mostly joking with the last line, hence the :smugdog:, but most people were neutral or in favor of changing the name, and people who aren't even on IRC trying to claim that most people don't want this change is pretty silly.

I think we should be some variant of Quest.org, preferably QuestChan.org in my opinion.

Either way, please let's have a .org name instead of Latvia or whatever...

And I also agree that there's not really a strong need to separate ourselves from /tg/, we still feature a lot of stuff /tg/ was known for a year ago, I just think it makes more sense for us to be QuestChan as the point of the board is Quests, not bitching about how /tg/ is shit now or something.

No, it implies that we are an imageboard, just like any of the other hundreds of imageboards with names ending in -chan. This implication is entirely accurate, because we are an imageboard.

>Anyone that is deeply involved in the site and cares a lot about it is in the IRC, where this discussion was very rampant. I guess you guys just don't really care about the site. :smugdog:
This is bullshit. Not everyone has time to be on irc all the time. Most people have jobs, or school, or both. Not everybody is on during whatever time period such discussion was "rampant". I know it couldn't have been too frequent of two long-lived, because I, who does not have a job or classes at the moment, and does spend days on end on irc, totally didn't encounter any such discussion.

Perhaps it would be more accurate to have said "anyone who knows what /tg/ is and know we exist also knows what tgchan is".

Man it was going in multiple channels fairly regularly over a period of like two or three days and had been discussed intermittently before that, and the consensus seemed to be "not tgchan, but something with 'quest' in it."

But anyway I am in favor of a name that a) has "quest" in it (since that's the point of the board) and b) doesn't have "tg" in it (since not all of us are "from" /tg/, shockingly), as I've consistently stated since the idea of the site was proposed more than a year ago.

I have not known of any such discussion since before tgchan existed.

Furthermore, two or three days is a very short amount of time to change something of such significance, which has been constant for over a year. The name is, like it or not, a core part of the site's identity. It is what the site is called. Any attempts to change it will be very unlikely to catch on, and will be more likely to have the effect of making tgchan look unstable to people, which, while not super important to current users, dissuades any casual enquirer.

>a) has "quest" in it (since that's the point of the board)
Ideally, it should remain ideologically feasible to branch out to things which are not questing.

>b) doesn't have "tg" in it (since not all of us are "from" /tg/, shockingly),
Not everyone on /tg/ is from /tg/ either. This concern is inane. Everyone comes from somewhere, nobody is originally from any given place on the internet.

And instead of 'tgchan' we give the site a name like 'quest.lv', which sounds more like a backwater Latvian traveling agency or a site you might get a virus from than an imageboard.

Wait, really? I dunno about you, but I don't equate 'a little over a weekend' with 'long and careful deliberation'.

Sorta ambivalent at the name (my reaction was more or less, 'Wait, why aren't scripts firi-- oh, the server changed.'), but one would sort of expect more representation in the actual site than one side thread in /meep/ lacking so much as a sticky.

I mean, I thought about it for like ten minutes, can we rename you to Miscalc?
>>
No. 6275 ID: 2eac65

So far, I've seen two reasons for the name change:

>This site is about quests much more than it's about traditional games.
Despite that, /tg/ stuff is still a huge part of our culture, so a name that reflects that is good.

>People might connect us with 4chan, and that's bad.
I think that's a pretty big "maybe". In my expectations, anyone who knows enough to make the connection knows enough not to hate us for it, and anyone else will at least give us a fair glance after learning about us.

If this site had been named something like "questchan" from the beginning, I wouldn't have a problem with it, but changing it now is an overreaction to problems that, at least in my opinion, aren't even real. I've grown attached to the old name and would prefer we keep it.

>/tg/-derived group, that
In the sense that rubyquest was on /tg/ and attracted a great deal of people from there along with a variety of other places (I know I'd personally not even known there was a roleplaying board on 4chan before it. And there's at least a dozen people from tvtropes I can think of.)

>adopts tons of setting tropes and races from /tg/
Via /tg/. We've got the standard fantasy races, which definitely predated RPGs at all, Sergals, from some japanese girl, uh... Oh, Exalted, I guess that's legit /tg/. In that it was from a traditional game and not from /tg/ itself. It seems like the only thing I can think that's 100% /tg/ are Doobies. Contrast that with... Laydridin, Tozol, Caelum, Brackets, Resonance, Vapor, BiteQuest, Larro's setting, Nahala, Princess, Defective, Eivr, The Icon, Deep, Boon, Alien, Halting State, Story Time, Last Flight. As much as people talk about "original content", most of /tg/ is going to be about published rpgs (mostly 40K), or "Guys I want to run a game in [setting] what system would be best".

>whose iconic founders were very well-known /tg/ personalities, and we
Flynx and Dylan were well known? How 'bout that.

>continue the practice of a medium popularized in /tg/, and furthermore have a
To be an ass, I'll point out Problem Sleuth and the fact that Ruby was originally planned for /r9k/. Still, no decisive point on this one.

A majority of the point of the redirect was specifically to inspire said discussion. Looking right now, I'd say it worked.

So, personally, I think that tgchan isn't really a name that accurately represents us, or sounds as nice as Quest. I think that tgchan.org should still be a valid URL, on the level of thatquestsite or ponychan, but I'd prefer quest.lv be our official name. But if we do change back, then, eh, qu'est la vie.

I almost didn't come to tgchan because it was called tgchan. I took a look at the name and thought "oh, is this one of those splinter board things where they just sit around all day and complain about how 4chan sucks and talk about how great they are?"

Guys

The names not stupid (well, it is, but that's not the point)

The changing of the name is stupid. This is tgchan, and has always been tgchan. It always will be tgchan, even if it says something different in the address bar, because that's what people are used to it being. If we change the name, and people hear the new name and are like "what's that?" the answer won't be to describe the site, it'll be "that's tgchan". And then if somebody requires additional clarification, it'll be explained what tgchan is. The "official" change in name serves only to instill confusion among those who don't know what tgchan is.

tl;dr: This has always been tgchan, and thus always will be, regardless of domain changes.

Pretty silly when the site's called quest.yiff or whatever and the IRC channels #tgchan and #rubyquest.

But for the record, I'm still against any change from tgchan.org, including this suggestion.

The Orb of Infinite Psyche in unrelated quests is really dumb and should not be encouraged to start up again. Infinitepsyche.org is long, unwieldy, nondescript, and gay as fuck.

And here I find myself agreeing with Lawyer Dog.
That's really not something that should happen to someone who tries to maintain at least the appearance of some personal dignity.

Also, what do you guys think about yiffy-cyoas.cx?

Storyboard sounds awesome. It doesn't even have 'quest' in it so we can say "Storyboard(SB?) quest" and not sound awkward. Besides, questan sounds like a verb! I dislike naming objects and places after verbs.

Yep. That's what I was thinking when I posted>>6360
Because sure, we all have stories (even Gnoll, at the moment) and it's on a board, but Storyboard is a word that surpasses its composite to mean something else, and thus the ohsoclever pun becomes merely a confusion.

It bears mentioning that this site was meant to be connected to /tg/ when it was created. Remember the old slogan, "Like /tg/, but with more cutebolds"? If there's a lack of /tg/ content, I'd rather focus more on it than abandon it.

Uh, not all of us were under that impression. I didn't think the /tg/ board would ever take off because a large portion of the userbase hanging around #rubyquest was there for, y'know, Ruby Quest, as opposed to /tg/ content, which is why I advocated for "not tgchan," and the subsequent history of the site has pretty much proven my hunch correct.

Along with project forks and entirely new development teams.

That's a good idea. As of this moment I hereby announce the founding of tgrubyquestboardchan.lv which is exactly the same thing except in slightly darker colors. It's obviously the superior version.

There is really no reason to do anything but tgchan.org. Also quest.lv sounds like some dubious spammer website and people refuse to click links of it.

It's worth noting that people on /quest/ are still making references to the original name, even after the change.

If reverting to TGChan isn't an option, I'd prefer we keep the new name we've got now, since we've got it already.

>If reverting to TGChan isn't an option
Of course it's an option. It's also looking to be the more popular option, based on posts in this thread. Something else could be more popular based on the vocalizing of people on IRC (I haven't had time to be on much lately) but if so then it's looking like that would be a case of a vocal minority.

And people call it tgchan because that's its actual name. That's just how names work, they don't necessarily correlate to "official" names.

I'd love to see being reverted to TGChan again. Since as it was mentioned. It grew to us and other people are still referring to it as TGChan.

I was going to say I wanted tgchan back but I didn't even think of pronouncing it like that. So now I'm fine with either.
>>
No. 7865 ID: 2eac65

So, it looks like it's been set up so that we can use either tgchan.org or quest.lv (or ponychan.info) without being redirected. I agree that's probably the best way to do it.
