Site name change

Well, I suppose it was inevitable. You know that horrible sinking feeling - when you start to see your online nick get used by more and more people you don’t know? I started searching around for a more unique name recently, and I finally decided to take the plunge.

“Sandstone” seems to be used in a quite a few places. My new name, Stonesand, seems to be totally unique. Already, I have this secured for my Xbox Live Gamertag and Slashdot account - two places where uniqueness is very hard to achieve without putting a lame number behind your name, ala “Hunter2641″, funky punctuation, ala “_-*Beebop*-_”, or strange spellings, ala “DaT3|2m1n8er”. The nice thing about uniqueness, is that I shouldn’t have to change names again. Right?

Anyway, the new site’s name is Stonesand, and thus changed, I am. Those of you with access to post stories to the site still have access, so feel free. I’ll try to roll some of the graphics soon.

Sandstone is dead; long live Stonesand!

UPDATE: I’ve finished converting the site - if you see any instance of the word Sandstone around, comment on it on this post, and I’ll take care of it. Also, you can see I’ve put my Xbox Live 360 Gamercard on the sidebar - those of you with editing power, let me know if you want yours there, as well, and I’ll add ‘em.

UPDATE: I’ve added Editor’s Gamercards to the sidebar.

Funny you should mention that name changing bit. As you know, I have been in the market for a new name as well, since “Diablo” and “Grindstone” are very over used. A google search for Grindstone (my name at B.net, PX360, et alia) reveals nearly a million hits. People have suggested Grindstone 187 or Gr1ndst0ne, which I hate. Diablo is the name of a game, 2 actually. So, I search along. The problem is, even if someone suggested a good name, I couldn’t accept it.

Nevertheless, I need to come up with one soon, as I will be playing online this weekend, if not sooner.
