Rename?

[Julee]

I was just thinking, GBAtemp, implies that its a temporary site, in the very fact it was just that, Megaroms was always supposed to be the dominant of the two... Should prolly at some point think about renaming it..But then...by the time you guys get around to it, the next portable system will be a big hit and pfft, site dont even matter any more...

Ok sheesh what a highjacked thread this has become.

Speechl has explained to me several times why the channel is called gbatemp but I still believe it was originally because it was a temporary meeting place for him and a couple others (kivan and someone else maybe thug or someone). So then the channel grew a bit and I think kivan initially setup the web site and now it's grown to a whole number of things, I don't know who runs/controls what any more but that shouldn't all really matter very too much besides that whoever keeps this web site alive is doing a very good job (costello maybe, I forgot).

I'm kinda confused as to who runs the efnet channel but that's ok.

Anyway the name wouldn't change here because this site is popular and has grown. I think it's a unique name, but changing it would confuse probably 40% of the people who visit or more and could cause a few problems trying to get those regulars back.

Good to see Julee again though, she's very nice.

And I seem to recall the original GBAtemp being a temporary website to hold GBA roms (you can still find the site if you know where to look). After a while, the guestbook was becoming too cumbersome, and so a forum was set up. Shortly afterward, the channel formally came into being to serve as a distro.

While a channel may have been involved, it wasn't GBAtemp until afterward. I'm having trouble finding the topic, but I know the origins of the channel can be found in our forum archive.

Currently, the website is maintained by Shaun, Costello, Hunter, and Wolf.

Hunter and Wolf are only technicians, they have no power of decision at all

in other word, they help doing technical stuff.
I supposed this is what you call "maintainance"
