Default Help on site name

You know my Alexandria Archives? http://koti.mbnet.fi/dyards
It's a site on The People's Mod for Starfury. It has info on the mod ships, races, tech, quadrant map etc. I even have a small forum there now.

Anyway, Alexandria Archives is pretty widely used name so after thinking for a while I decided to change it. Do you have any suggestions? The reason I ended up with Alexandria Archives in the first place was because I wanted a similar sounding place like "Arreat Summit" the information place on Diablo 2. Arreat Summit is also a place in that game (Diablo II: Expansion) where you fight the ancients.

I spent hours yesterday trying to come up with a name and got nothing as result. So any help is appreciated.

I was also thinking of SeHaven or Starfury Haven and doing a more general Starfury site which Alexandria Archives would just be a part of. Anyway, opinions, feedback and criticism is greatly appreciated.

The Amonkriean Archives? If that's not unique I don't know what is.

Cheers!

P.S. Let me know when you choose a new name, I'll need to adjust the banner on MM.com's site.

I think I'm going to rename it as Starfury Haven. I'll be changing the url address pretty soon too. I'll let you know when the site transfer is finished.

And thanks for the suggestion.

Ok, I made the site move and decided on the site name also.

So the new site name is Starfury Haven and you can find it at http://koti.mbnet.fi/sfhaven

I moved Alexandria Archives there as well to http://koti.mbnet.fi/sfhaven/aarchives

The light green text on a green background is difficult to see. I'd recommend just using white text and maybe put links in yellow.

I've also added your site to my Starfury links list.

Thanks for the suggestion Captain Kwok. I changed the text to white (FFFFFF)and links to grey (A1A1A1). I think the site looks better now. Thanks again.

The white text is certainly helpful, but I still find the links hard to pick out. I'd try an almost true yellow (FFF200).

But looking good, like that space yard you're working on too.

True yellow? I'll give it a try once the server is fixed. It's been broken two times this weekend. Most annoying.

Thanks again for the feedback. It's most helpful. When I was coding the site it was already 1:20 am when I got to the stylesheet so I wouldn't be surprised if there would be white text on white background.

Exan, the start date for TPM was 6th March '04

Just thought I'd throw that at you

Edit: wow, my post count seems to be about 100 posts higher than I remember

Ok, so If I understand this right, I should change the "People's Mod" link in the Starfury fan sites to "Starfury Haven" and add a second "Alexandria Archives" banner/link to the section.

Sounds good. Would you like me to create two 'large' size banners for the sites themselves?

Cheers!
