Namethis algo hosed!
by matt - August 20th, 2008
Come on people. I had SOOO many good name suggestions for the LoneRider beer name and none of them won. That’s just not fair! I used to think that we had the best community around, but now I’m not too sure … *grin*

What’s up with fudging .coms on the Eco Portal project? Even though the client was clear that “it has to be an unregistered .com,” there are many names that area not. As they are good names (names in fact, that others of us have come up with, too, and not been able to use), they may win, yielding the client a big fat zip (and the “fair gamers” the same). Any solution?
oh, there is a solution, stacy….. a beautiful, kick-ass, game-changing, sexy, unicorn-esque solution.
