I just dislike cutesy or themed names in general, because they obscure meaning and they impose a non-neutral tone on a site. I would much prefer a simple and self-descriptive name. Drops and buckets and rainbows and whatever makes me think of a pink sparkly My Little Ponies themed site. Which is nice if that's what you want, but isn't really contributing to creating a space where users can build the kinds of communities they want. It's like the asylums etc at InsaneJournal. It's possible to work around the terms and ignore them, but I'd rather not have to. > ~ Rachel love Anna _______________________________________________ dw-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dwscoalition.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dw-discuss
