Hey all!
I'm in the process of setting up our own image hosting so we can stop having to deal with the move modern sites are doing to be less friendly to hotlinking. I've already got the technical bits sorted and readied. The only thing I need... is a name! ^^
Please post any name ideas &/or your vote for which you like best :D
Current Ideas
- Boaboa's Snap Safari [1]
- Clefairy Studio [3]
- Goldenrod Archive [1]
- Johto Photo [5]
- Smeargle Bucket
- The Zappening
- ZZ Album
- ZZ Photo Club/Studio
- ZZ Snap
- ZZ's RotoCam/RotoDex
*Noting, this wouldn't be anything fancy. It'd be similar to Showdown's sprite index.

ZZ Snap ZZ Photo Studio ZZ Photo Club (Johto Photo Club?) Those are all boring... but they do play off on various photo mechanics from the games! I also really like Clefairy Studio  |

Added! & Separated the top/newest choices out from the current set of votes. Looks like Johto Photo and Clefairy Studio are the current top contenders. But they're tied! Both good ;D

There actually is a cameraman/picture taken guy in HGSS, if we could name it after him or his studio that would be cool.

Yeah his name is Cameron & his house is in... Cianwood? But no studio name or anything and I dunno about using a generic/normal name for our image repo. HG/SS just has an 'album'. Later games have Photo Spots & changed the name to 'Phil the Photoguy'. Overall the research I did last night found that photography in the games didn't really have any unique name that would stand out as pokemon.

Could always slap him on top of the name that's most popular, as in Cameron's Johto Photo Club

Truth. I'd leave it out of the domain name just to keep the url's concise, but we could add it to the displayed site title.

I like johto photo, both due to the name but also that it kind of says what it is, and I like that.

Yeah, I vote for Johto Photo then. Rhymes are fun. Shame that Cameron and Phil are so uncreative that they couldnt name their businesses, that could have been fun.

I like Goldenrod Archive the most, can't really explain it. Just sounds nice?
But I do also like Johto Photo mainly because it's cute when said like that.

johtophoto.com it will be! We can perfekt any visible title from there ;D
Thank you all! I'll work on populating it and give an update in the hopefully near future.
