What should we call ourselves?

There may already be a pre-determined title for the group "members of Hypography," and if there is, please let me know, we'll close the vote, but I want to know what you think is the most appropriate terminology for what to call ourselves. I'm a fan of Hypographites... How about you?

Cool Re: What should we call ourselves?

A Hypographite would be someone who merely dwells at hypography, but doesn't write anything - in other words, a guest. Someone who writes what constitutes hypography should be a Hypographer.

That, or something like "surfer electon-drovers of the subtle range"

Re: What should we call ourselves?

Awww, where's "Hypodudes" and "Hypobabes", that's what I would have *expected* you to suggest, Now!

I *hate* "Hypographians": sounds like some sort of wacko UFO/religious cult...

I "Hypographer" is okay, but its not very snappy.

How about "Hypodenizens?" Sounds very egalitarian...

Cheers,
Buffy

Oh, come on Buffy, you don't give me enough credit. I mean, clearly if I were to take that route, it would have been "Hypohottie" and "Hypoeyecandy." Geesh...

Wouldn't it be better to call us "Hyponiacs?"

How about "Hyponecians?"

Re: What should we call ourselves?

Well there might be two species:

Homo Hypographis and Australopithicus Hypographis ...

Not cool, man,
Buffy

Sounds to much like a GM car... HypoManiacs sounds more better

Hypotatoes - Now your BluesMan from Idaho
Hypodunkians - Can anyone Jam a B-Ball on this site?
Hyponderers - Sounds like we're lost
