Why are you going after a corporate naming scheme? You're not selling anyone on an image so why don't you actually personalize it rather than pointlessly condensing into a package for marketing?

I'm not a fan of either edgypixel or pixelgrok. Grok isn't a real word and I don't think you're using it right at that. "Edgy" is a slang term that (for various reasons) isn't very good for building up a concept, and it certainly doesn't help that it's completely undefined how it would apply to a pixel.

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.

Wow, he just wants domain suggestions, not a breakdown on the importance of his site or info on what you do with your pony pics. And why would he not be able to support his own website? I have 3 sites running for my family, all in PHP with upload capabilities based on their logins. It's great when people in the fam are on vacation, because they can post pics while they are there and we can view them without needing specific links or accounts. Once it was up and running, there is NO maintenance other than rebooting the web server once in a while.

You're not very bright, are you.

He laid out no underlying integrated value structure supporting this particular line, so the possibility exists that he hasn't fully broken out the related values and properly tagged their importance. His difficulty coming up with something satisfying could very well be due to him seeking out someone else's image of a valued end result instead of coming up with something that he actually values himself. People are often deceived by form. I am probing to see if that is the case.

If someone said, "If only I was a millionaire living in a mansion with a supermodel wife, I'd be completely happy," I'd also be probing to see if they have been deceived by the mere surface features presented or if they are really that simple.

And why would he not be able to support his own website? I have 3 sites running for my family,

Did Locut0s say, "family intranet?" No.
His desire to leave his name out of it, the value he is placing on the form of the domain name, and the fact that he is getting it hosted at all (instead of just dumping an HTML file on his computer) suggests he wants this public-facing. So it's reasonable to assume he holds some interest in the interaction between his work and the public -- that there's something he wants to get out of that. I'm just letting him know that the public is probably not going to have much interest in a dead page by nobody they know. (Do you spend your afternoons looking at random MySpace profiles?)

Communities like deviantART exist because random personal webpages just cannot advertise themselves to the same degree.

Nope you are reading FAR to much into this. It's just as Wyndru said, I was just looking for some name recommendations cause you know fhj37blah.com doesn't work for me. Anyway I went with edgypixel.com I don't care if people don't like it or not it's the content I put there that I care about and that's all just going to be personal stuff anyway. Thanks for playing though :p
