(the)Edgypixel OR pixelgrok ?

[Locut0s]

Okay I've narrowed it down to those two choices:

theedgypixel OR edgypixel OR pixelgrok

Don't care if they are bad which one is less worse?

As a side note I'm surprised that ladypixel.com is available. One would think that would be a porn site by now. :hmm:

The "s" in "Rendisity" is awkward, and I really don't get "render" from it. It sounds more like a flowery meaningless make-word. (The second syllable in "render" is quite important to the word. It isn't just a suffix on "rend.")

How about Renderisity? Sounds worse no?

I think it sounds a little better even with the fact that the suffix is wrong.

Is renderings.net open?

Don't like renderings. Also I prefer it was a little abstract as rendering will not be a focus of the site, mostly it will be my photography. Though I will put up my old renderings.

Sounds like the focus should be your name. Any abstract of a generic term isn't going to bring up the idea of Locut0s' (generic term).
Your stuff would fit nicely on Locut0s.com (which is open).

That would be good. Only that would lead family members to question what Locut0s means. A quick google would lead them here and well... let's just say I keep some things from my extended family private, my emotional problems for example. I don't want to use my real name for it either for similar reasons, I'd like to post links to pics here and elsewhere without showing my real name.

Anyone got some recommendations for a domain name? Remember I'm mostly using it to showcase my photography.

Why? A website should have a purpose. Coming up with a good name for a useless website makes no sense.

trollolol. It's a personal web site. I don't give one hoot if others don't think it has a purpoise. As it happens for me it will serve a purpose, it's place for me to showcase my current and future photography. I am also going to use it to house the thousands of family photos that I'm going to be scanning in for a family photo project. It will also be used for a number of other odds and ends. As a place for me to practice PHP and other programming skills and the like.

Anyone have any other suggestions? I'm open to just about anything.

Really? I don't hear that. I'm likely going to go with something else anyway as others, not just here, think it's not the best. Got any suggestions?

trollolol.

Not really. I'm in agreement.

Your desire to showcase your archive does not translate into an interesting website for others. If you're not actively interesting (like the tiny handful of video bloggers who can maintain a good level of entertainment day after day) it strikes me as a dead end from a viewership perspective.

If you're an active artist there's deviantART. If you just want to dump pics there's photobucket.

That the truth is harsh doesn't make it a troll. The simple fact is that most people aren't interesting enough to warrant their own website. I know I couldn't do a personal website -- I'd feel obligated to constantly come up with OC to be entertaining. But that would make me somebody else's monkey, which is not a position I want to be in.
When I want to showcase something I either do it in person so I can give it the personal touch or I just dump it anonymously on 4chan. (And I do have a couple of image edits that GIS indicates have become more popular than the original.) Even if someone is really good they may not be able to support their own website: A lot of the work on Worth1000 would be empty without being part of the collected works connected by the theme.

LOL. You really don't get it do you? I'm doing this ONLY for myself. I could care less if I get 1 or 2 visitors or a hundred. I'm doing it cause I want to and again I could give 2 shits if others are interested in it or not. I'm doing it to freshen up on my HTML skills. I'm doing it so I have a place to put my family photo project which WILL involve the rest of my family actively. I'm doing it so I have a place to play around with PHP and other programming toys. The LAST thing I'm doing it for it others. lol

And yes the name of the site doesn't matter cause so few people will be interested but I still want something that sounds ok.

I have no idea what that is supposed to mean.

Nothing.

How about google.com/a/locut0s?
My point was, why do you need a trendy/cool name for a personal website?
Are you trying to impress your family with a domain name?

How about *YourName*.com? Or, *YourAlias*.com?

I simply want to create a personal web site how is this hard for people to understand!? I don't want to use my name or my alias because I don't care to have people in my real life know my alias and I don't care for people online to know my real name and I want to use the website in both places. It doesn't have to be trendy or cool, just something people don't hate.

WTF does the 2nd one say there anyway? e pix urean? e pixu rean? epix u rean?

 

[IronWing]

It's a play on epicurean.
