Purpleganon is very divisive, people either seem to love it or hate it.

Why is this even still up for discussion!

Such a stupid name. I'd definitely not be a member of a site called purpleganon lol





Yes it is. Very few people would get it. Ganon isa Nintendo character. I thought the goal was to move away from a Nintendo name

Agreed, it's not a good choice. It will not attract much new blood to the site. I hate it myself.

Personally, I'm not a fan. Agree with the others that it doesn't do a good job of relaying site content and is too focused on Nintendo.

I think the name should be inclusive.

While the most collectible niche in the hobby, Nintendo carts don't represent the full gamut of the hobby and they certainly don't cover all bases of gaming history and collectibility.

Sega, Atari, Sony, Microsoft, NEC, Commodore, Apple, Amstrad, and Sinclair all have extremely vast and rich libraries spanning multiple platforms and categories that deserve love.

-------------------------

Got any of these for sale? Sell them to me. I also buy other NES Publisher inserts, and even GB/GBC, and SNES inserts too.

No! We'll be here all month!

Just pick five or six and set up a poll.

I agree, but at some point you have to draw a line. The more inclusive a title, the more generic (and likely taken) or unwieldly it will get.

I’m just advocating for more inclusion is all. A fresh start is the best time to propose radical ideas.

Also, I'm all about picking just 5 names... But what 5? Do the Mods just pick 5 they like and throw those up? Also, when I'm talking about a bracket I'm saying pit 8 or so against each other. One day for each pick (round). Narrow it down in three days. Boom
