PixlBit User Nomenclature


On 03/11/2013 at 12:25 PM by Jesse Miller

See More From This User »

While PixlBit has been around for a good while now, the bustling community is rather new.  I know many of you came to us from 1up, where everyone referred to the group as 1uppers.  This got me to thinking...what the heck are we then?

I've seen some here refer to us as PixlBitters, PixlBits, Pixies, Pixls, etc...  There doesn't seem to be any one uniting moniker.  Perhaps we should change that.  If you've got an idea of what we should collectively refer the community of PixlBit users, drop a note in the comments!  If you like someone's suggestion, go ahead and reply to that.  

I'm curious as to what the community would decide.

I like PixlBits. Pixlbitters makes us sound angry.

I like PixlBits the most, but they all sound good really.

I like Pixlbits, it sounds kind of like something in a Mario RPG.

I've definitely grown fond of PixlBits.

I like PixlBits. It makes us sound small, but also tightly knit in a way

Joaquim Mira Media Manager

Pixlings. Kind of like fledglings.

Pixlbites. A word play on bytes. The bites are a representation of this community's penchant for posting blogs and commenting, kind of like when a pet nibbles at you with care.

Surfcaster

Ah, I like both of these, too!

I'd go with PixlBits.

PixlBits. It just makes the most sense. We are the Pixlbits that make up the community.

PixlBitizens?

PixlPpl?

PixlBots?

TixlMeElmos?

PixlPopuli?

These are all bad.

I like PixlPpl.. simple yet effective

Julian Titus Senior Editor

I think you can get sued by Nimblebit for using PixlBitizens.

Since I have no clue what you're talking about, I can claim ignorance.

I have always said pixlbitters but hey thats just me maybe we should set up a poll and vote.

Nick DiMola Director

Nate used to call us PixlPeople FWIW.

Where all my PixlPeeps at?!

BrokenH

03/11/2013 at 02:29 PM

I'll probably use all these phrases at some point. Imma keeping my options open!

chocobot

03/11/2013 at 03:02 PM

I like this idea, why limit ourselves to just one? All of the options are pretty good :3

BrokenH

A pixel for every occasion!

Jesse Miller Staff Writer

Variety is indeed the spice of life.

BrokenH

03/11/2013 at 08:52 PM

Exactly,Jesse! Go all out!

When I got to thinking of it, "Pixls" was the first thing that I came up with in my mind. 

Casey Curran Staff Writer

I say we call ourselves the Epic Pixls here. I think it would be really awesome if we were Epic Pixls. Or Epic Bits.

I've been saying Pixlbits. I do like the idea of a poll that was mentioned

GeminiMan78

03/11/2013 at 05:15 PM

Pixlets? Nah, sounds to much like piglets. P-Bits...no too much like P-Diddy or well...piss sprinkles. PB's? Ugh, I give up.

Jason Ross Senior Editor

03/11/2013 at 05:28 PM

Jason & the PixlBits has a nice ring to it. Let's go with that.

Michael117

Jason & the Pixlbits lol, that's actually pretty great. I like it. Or J-bone and the Pixies. Jammer & the Pixies.

There's a lot of good ones, Pixlbits is nice, everybody can use what feels best. I'm going to go with Pixies because it's cute. It makes me want to jiggle everbodies cheeks like Adam Sandler does to that kid in Billy Madison.

Travis Hawks Senior Editor

03/11/2013 at 06:19 PM

There can be no Pixies without Kim Deal.

I think that PixlBits and PixlBitters are good ones to pick from. 

Jamie Alston Staff Writer

03/11/2013 at 06:54 PM

I'm all for the term PixlBits.  Sounds cooler.

Fractals! Eh? EH?

How 'bout just the Bits? 

Simple, yet catchy.

I like Pixlbits

Heed

03/11/2013 at 11:24 PM

i like Pixlnauts, but i understand if people think that's too much of a ripoff of the old 1up staple Retronauts show.  then again, it could be considered an homage to the place so many of us called home for so long.

Alpha Bits? Mmmmmm.....cereal. No,I guess it won't  work!
