Well here it is. I'm sure some of you think this is stupid and pointless. Luckily there is an option for that.

I'd say Doukutsies as a cute and short nickname-ish thing, and CSTSF as a real and proper community name.

I don't know. Doukutsies rubs me the wrong way...I wouldn't want to be called that or anything else.
I don't think it's /stupid/, but I don't think it's very necessary, either...

I HATE fandom nicknames. I couldn't explain why they just annoy me.

Doukutsies sounds cute (when you pronounce it "cute" in the middle)

A poll like this fails on so many levels because in order for you to fit the options in you have to preselect a series of names from a large list, which completely influences the results by the means of your own bias. Not only that but you have failed to offer an "other" option for those whose choice isn't within your own pre-selection, and you have it set up so that someone can select more than one option.

No spelunkers, even though that would be so funny to have.

It has only been an English word for the last 70 years or so. -_-;

If you haven't already noticed, I'd like to point out that there is a "This is stupid and pointless" option in the poll, and I recommend that be the choice you pick.PolarStarGames said:

Why are the proponents of that name so fixated on that? Sounding cute isn't an advantage in this case, it doesn't even match with Cave Story, really. And pronouncing it that way trivializes the fact that Doukutsu is in it, and sounds like "the cutsies" which, you must admit, is yucky and indescriptive. I just don't think Doukutsies (or any other name) is really a necessary thing, to be honest...Parkraft123 said:

The Cave Story fandom is called the Doukatari, ruled by one master Pixel, followed by a loosely connected network of administrators, developers, lawyers and forum assassins.
Fans of this fandom are called... "Fans of Cave Story" or FoCS for short. ...

Fox? Foxes? We're foxesss placed in boxes called pixels... and now I stop

I was pretty close to casting a vote for cave men because that's just funny. Fitting for a fandom name though? No.
Some fandom labels do work out better than others. They've got to be concise and easily relevant to the fandom to work. Otherwise, it just sounds all cheesy and gooey. I dunno, I'm not really into fandom names myself, but if a name sticks, you just have to roll with it sometimes.

Oh, yay, the name I wanted is on there! And it's winning! But where are "Judgemental Assholes", "twelve years old", "faggots", and "sperglords"?
