So we obviously need a Youtube channel to post videos on, but what other accounts do we need. We could have a bunch of related social media accounts, maybe a twitter and/or facebook account. Please let me know what you think, since I'm sure we all have ideas about how to approach this (we are called Idea Havers for a reason ) On a related note we will also need some pictures for the profile pictures and banners for any accounts we decide to make, so people with good photo editing and artsy skills please go wild. I think we're sticking with Idea Havers (I like it, it's close enough to Idea Channel, yet still different and it manages to describe the us well), so simply a logo with an I and an H will probably do for now. If no one makes one, I will make a super shitty logo that you will all despise, but we'll have to use.

So just because I was curious if I could, I've made ideahavers@gmail.com. ATM the password is p4$$w0rd (super secure, right?). If there's no disagreement on the name, we can use that email to set up our Youtube account as well.

Well, if we're going to decide on a name... "Idea havers" sounds a little awkward to me. "Idea Project", maybe?

Do you think maybe we could go to the subreddit with the naming ideas? Would make voting easier, and it's good to start engaging with people. This is a community project, after all.

I agree with ngnius. Hivedea channel is funny but a bit too ehh.. gimmicky? Idea project sounds great. But idea haver references to the 'who can have ideas' question which is best imo, which makes me wanna use that. But yeah it doesn't roll of the tongue very easily. Does it sound better in German- Idee Haber? Or we can use IdeeHaber/Idea haver in the end credits (like idea channel shows 'Kornhaber') and name the channel itself as idea project or whatever sounds more catchy

Channel name as Idea Project seems like it would definitely be catchier than Idea Haver(s). Perhaps we can name ourselves, as a group, "Idea Havers". That way we can describe ourselves as something else than Idea Project contributors (and it means we don't have to rename the forum lol). I'm pretty sure ideahaver is a taken username on reddit, so perhaps we should use ideaproject for social media, but have any discussion groups (or similar things) be named "Idea Havers".
To macecurb: While we do need to start engaging with the community, having a vote on a name seems too small of a thing to introduce ourselves with. I think we should wait until the audition to have any sort of social media coverage so that we can come in with more of a "bang" than a small "pop".

Update: We now have a reddit account under the username "ideaproject" and a soundcloud account so we can check out submissions properly

wait wait! let's let the the ideachannel subreddit decide! it's god damn brilliant!
we'll get the in on it, we could get allot of people joining us just by getting them to know this things exists and is going to happen.
also, I think it is VERY important we keep this entier thing as democratic and open as possible, that's the best way to think together and create allot of good content, if we start brashley chosing thing by ouselves we lose that.
ima go post a question in the subreddit K?

I agree with keeping things democratic.
I know it might seem like a couple of us are acting a bit dictatorial right now, but that's probably just a side-effect of our being relatively disorganized so far. Things'll get better as we figure everything out.
That having been said, a discord chat or something might be useful.

Yeah I think we must be apprehensive about our decisions in general, like we do feel right now. But we gotta make brash decisions for smaller stuff, like channel name, sites to use to discuss stuff, minor details like those. People would have less interest in that stuff really and taking a democratic poll for stuff like that would make the while thing a bit slow and drain a bit of motivation. So I think it's fine to make decisions right now during an initial phase so that we can at least present a "proposed framework" to people and if we can make it look good, people will willingly suggest any changes and we can incorporate them at that stage What do you say?

I agree, but channel name is NOT a small thing, the entire image we project to anyone who hears about us starts with our name. it'll be better if we do this democratically. can I post the question on the forum?

I'll second the Discord channel. It should allow better communication and organization of roles, as well as figuring out just how many active people we have. Large decisions could use strawpoll with @everyone in a #votes channel and X amount of time to vote. This forum is better for overall organization of the project, but Discord is faster.
