I think the name is fit, but we already have far too many social networking sites.

This is NOT your standard social networking site

jlgosse2• 17 years ago

But thanks on the fact you think it is fit!

I think your link goes to a blank page.

The name is similar to Kongregate, but not as memorable.

I see where you're coming from, but it still makes me think of 'incongruous'

Not so hot. I also think that doing font shadows on small fonts is ridiculous because it just makes it harder to read. But I'm obsessed with readability, so...

I know exactly what it means, and I can easily spell it and pronounce it, but it's still horrendous. The person who wrote this poll must be a developer because it's so objectively oriented. Here are some subjective aspects to consider: what other words does it remind you of? would you be embarrassed to tell someone the name?

Immediately made me think "gangrenous."

It made me think of "egregious". (Probably not great)
