Thanks for the clarification; frankly, that is great to hear.
Given that information, something like purpleganon should be a nonstarter. Even completely ignoring the UD issues others have raised - which is legit criticism - the site should not start off as exclusionary in the very title of the site. Especially if the goal is to attract fresh members.
I would personally vote for something more ambiguous like: channelthree.com, or even something completely different like: theleap.com (IP issues notwithstanding).
The name needs to be something that explains exactly what the site is for. None od the names suggested do that and many are too wordy. You want 1 or 2 words to make up the name. You tube, face book, Twitter, Amazon, yahoo. As has been mentioned, inside jokes aren't good either. It excludes people. If a forum is to talk about video games, information, collections, or for buying, trading, selling, it should include a combo of those or similar terms in the name. This is probably why the poll results are in favor of a different name. You want to attract as many gamers as possible. Don't overthink it. Keep it simple stupid.
