Rebranding

Kiwi Farms. With a logo drawn by one of our resident artists- preferably of a derpy Kiwi wearing a Classic Chris shirt or something similar as a nod to where we came from.

Null stated that if this was to happen we'd have a variable logo with text being the same but there being an image that would change like the random.txt.

I'd like a Kiwi dressed in different attire like the Vaultboy in Fallout 3. But depending on which forum you're in (ie: Chris's boards, Jace's boards, offtopic, video games, deep thoughts) etc he'd have a different outfit, and specific popular threads (IE: Wizardchan) would have a specific outfit.

It would really encourage community participation especially with the possibility of art contests. Someone could create a template and people could submit art for specific boards/threads.

If the forums get renamed "Kiwi" whatever, are new members expected to get the reference right off the bat? It would help to have a summary so they can see the reasoning behind the name.

If they didn't get it, it would be a quick thing to explain it to them. It could be something of a small tradition. Sort of like the regular "Oh, so THIS is what that clicking sound is" sort of thing we get from new folks in chat regularly.

Why not have the logo switch between Kiwi's drawn by all the artists on the forum?

Kiwi Farms, please!

 

[Picklechu]

Kiwi Farms is by far my first choice.

Spoiler: I like this one, actually

Chris' shirt, Jace's sunglasses, and Goldie's mullet.

Spoiler: Ehhhh

Those are both the best thing ever.

I'm thinking milking lolcows, or internet trainwreckspotting. Or lolcowspotting. What, I really like the movie.

I like kiwi farms/forum too.

I think it might look better if we just had a separate kiwi for Jace and GK, though. Mixing them all up just makes it look like nothing at all, though if I wanted to go totally overboard I could give him TJ's teeth and what's-his-face's butt-chin.

As long as it has Kiwi in the name, I'm totally fine with it!

Kiwis for all!

Staff should all have Kiwi avatars.

What was the source of "Kiwi" again? I remember when it first came up, I just forgot who called it that and in what context (although obviously it's a malapropism of "CWCki.")

I vote for "Christian 'Christopher' 'Ricardo' Weston Chandler's Sonichu & Rosechu Emporium of Cwcville, Virginia."

EDIT: I stand corrected, it's something Tyce said.

 

[cypocryphy]

It's something Jace said

Which is why it sucks

Oh. Well, that seals my vote for me.

I am seriously just fine with keeping things the way they are, for the time being. I mean we had this huge shocker yesterday were Chris' recent online life turned out to be pretty much the Matrix, but that doesn't mean we should already re-brand. If you ask me we should just keep the forum the way it is, because nothing really changed if you think about it. A shitty hidden forum got closed and we discovered some depressing skeleton's in Chris' closet, but that's about it.

That being said, I don't mind the Kiwi related suggestions. Mrs. Satan already knows the forums I am active on as "Kiwi Forum", for what it's worth. It wouldn't be too big a change from what we're doing now, but I seriously doubt it's necessary.
