DCEmu Ask its Members #2 What Name Would You Change This Network To ?

**royvedas** · September 6th, 2008, 07:11

How about "www.sponsoradspostedasnews.com?

Since homebrew is becomming more advance than when it was since the Dreamcast had come along ways of emulation. I believe that we can still keep the name, but it should literally be rephrased.

This is what I think it should be.

Developer's Homebrew Emutopia

DHEmutopia.net

I actually like it in my honest opinion, but that's the decision of DCEmu. *May sound strange, but catchy*

I think Planetbrew is a great idea. It captures everything that this site represents, and sounds really catchy. "Planetbrew? Hmmm... Sounds cool, I'll check it out."

Obviously the "dc" stands for Dreamcast, but maybe instead of coming up with new site names you should think about new meaning for the current name. Play with the semantics a bit.

Development on Consoles and Emulation
The Dirt on Consoles and Emulation
Defenders of Console Emulation
Discerning Consoles and Emulation
Distilling Consoles and Emulation

You get the idea... Anyhow, it's just a thought.

Leaving the name alone and just changing the translation was also my idea. But I've always been bad at finding backronyms, but I like Development on Consoles and Emulation.

The name is perfectly fine, to be honest, what would be the advantage of changing it?

**dejkirkby** · September 6th, 2008, 11:50

I don't think it should be changed at all.
DCEmu is DCEmu.

I'm confused. Most people didn't want the logo changed, so why would those same people want the name changed? Oh, they don't. Neither do I.
The name is fine the way it is. It's short and sweet, something people can easily remember.
