Just archiving this:
Parker - Today at 1:00 PM
I might sign up for "Idea Project" in all the places. since that's the leader so far.
NGnius - Today at 1:00 PM
Yeh, that's basically been decided already
Ok, now I'm getting on the bus
Parker - Today at 1:02 PM
It's taken in a lot of places
so is "TheIdeaProject"
"IdeaCrowd" is pretty good, but no facebook or twitter.
"Idea_Crowd" is invalid on facebook, but is available on Youtube, Twitter, Insta, G+, Twitch, and Reddit.(edited)
NGnius - Today at 1:29 PM
There's always
Idea Havers too - we're sort of calling the group of us who are working on the project that already, so that would work
Parker - Today at 1:31 PM
That might be the best option
"IdeaNiche" is solidNGnius - Today at 1:45 PM
The main problem with changing our name now is the community agreed on our current name
Macecurb - Today at 2:33 PM
I don't know that we really need a website of our own aside from the forums. Seems like it'd be a little redundant, no?
Parker - Today at 2:34 PM
But if there's already a youtube channel named that, we're SOL
I was mostly checking for facebook and twitter, not so much domains
Macecurb - Today at 2:35 PM
Far as the meeting goes, I do have an agenda planned. It'll mostly be text for the sake of being able to read it later on down the line. "Idea Project" doesn't seem to exist as a youtube channel.(edited)

Macecurb - Today at 2:36 PM
Well, poke the guy and see if he's willing to give it up.

Channel by the name of "IDEA project". I think channel name matters slightly more.
And also one by "Idea Project". Hrmm.
Neither of those have particularly many subscribers, though.
"Idea Project" specifically has none, with a single video from two months ago with.... 7 views. 8 now that I've looked at it.

Idea Project
I say we PM the person and see if they're willing to let us use the name instead. Can't hurt to try.
Parker - Today at 2:43 PM
yup
Macecurb - Today at 2:45 PM
"Hi there, I'm part of a small group of people that are looking to make videos, mostly focused on analyzing pop culture's intersection with philosophy. After choosing a name for ourselves, we realized that the name, "Idea Project", was coincidentally already in use by yourself. We were wondering if there was any way we could come to an agreement to let us use the channel name "Idea Project" on youtube? Thanks for your time. "
Sound good?
Parker - Today at 2:47 PM
I think so.
He designed his own logo, so it's a tough sell.
Maybe sneak in some appreciation for that?
Like, "I see that you've put a lot of work into your branding"
Macecurb - Today at 2:48 PM
Enh, it's one video of ambient footage of a skyline. Either they're super-attached to it or have given up on it by now.
Parker - Today at 2:48 PM
Hopefully that later, but a little ego stroking may help.
the later*
Macecurb - Today at 2:48 PM
Yeah, fair.
"Hi there, I'm part of a small group of people that are looking to make videos, mostly focused on analyzing pop culture's intersection with philosophy. We appreciate the amount of hard work you've already put into your own channel. After choosing a name for ourselves, we realized that the name, "Idea Project", was coincidentally already in use by yourself. We were wondering if there was any way we could come to an agreement to let us use the channel name "Idea Project" on youtube? Thanks for your time."
Not great at flattery with so little to go on.
Parker - Today at 2:51 PM
swap the second and third sentences, then I think it's fine.
Macecurb - Today at 2:52 PM
Alright, sent. Worst case scenario we have to come up with an original name in the age of username parking. Well, at least we'll have some first-hand experience for the username episode, heh.
Parker - Today at 2:56 PM
I submit "IdeaSecond" to the pool
and "IdeaMinute"Macecurb - Today at 2:56 PM
Idea Channel v2.0
IdeaMinute sounds like we do one-minute videos.
Parker - Today at 2:57 PM
IdeaChannel2 is free most places.
Macecurb - Today at 2:57 PM
Well, park 'em.
Parker - Today at 2:57 PM
Even if it's probably too similar
NGnius - Today at 3:03 PM
Yeh, I'm against Idea Channel 2.0 (or anything similar), just because it's too similar
Macecurb - Today at 3:04 PM
I say we park the youtube channel name, and if we don't need it we just delete it.
NGnius - Today at 3:04 PM
We always have idea havers
Parker - Today at 3:04 PM
I parked youtube, gmail and twitter.for IdeaChannel2NGnius - Today at 3:05 PM

Macecurb - Today at 3:06 PM
Fantastic.
NGnius - Today at 3:06 PM
Amazing
BTW I'm going to be around for a while - I'm installing an OS on a slow laptop HDD
Hey mace, did you send that message to the reddit mods yet?
Macecurb - Today at 3:07 PM
Hmm, shit. No.
