All I do all day is make cartoons in various programs. Comedic animations, parodies of movies and video games. EGO FI.

Website considerations

Posted by Bobert-Rob - August 9th, 2008


Hi folks. I need to get a better webhost and a new address, but I'm not entirely sure what the address should be. I could be lazy and just do "myhead.com" or .net or whatever (which would be lazy because my current website uses the 'myhead' name), but that's a pretty vague address that doesn't hint much at what the website even is. Hell, it's downright suggestive.

Figured I'd throw ideas past you guys and you could, I don't know, tell me what one you like most. Might help me make a decision. I'm too indecisive at times. So here they are:

---
"bobertrob.com / .net" ; The most simple and easy to remember site on this list. Refers to my typical account name on internet websites. Easy to remember if you're familiar with my work already.

"rawbert.com / .net" ; A mixture of my RAW initials and my name. It's somewhat vague, but I kind of like it. Kind of.

"robrobrobrob.com / .net" ; Obviously a dumb website address, but I find it funny because it's so stupid. Hints to the humor found at the site. Most likely won't use it though.

"rawnimation.com / .net" or "rawanimation.com / .net" ; RAW + animation. It could work, although the 'rawnimation' might be hard to remember spelling-wise. Also, 'rawanimation' might give people an impression that these cartoons were very... shoddy or incomplete in the visuals. Granted, certain aspects of my work is indeed shoddy, but a lot of people like how I do it so I don't know.

"rawsylum.com / .net" or "rawasylum.com / .net" ; RAW + asylum. I know, most of these just stick 'raw' into other words, but I kind of like that. The asylum reference only fits with Treeva, as most of my animations aren't creepy crazy, just crazy. Although it fits Siblings to a degree, I guess.

And I can't decide which one I want. I'm leaning toward bobertrob.com/net/whatever, but I'm not sure. Tell me your thoughts on the subject, would ya? And if you know of a good webhost, I'm all ears. Help a brother out. A white brother.

Note: Yes, the drawing below has nothing to do with anything. I have this habit of wanting to post art with each news post, which thus makes everyone want to comment on the art instead of the actual post. If you comment on the artwork, please consider the actual question too, thanks.

Website considerations


Comments

the art you put is really nice.

as for the question itself, my head sounds pretty cool. you should use it : D

bobertrob.com is the simplest and the easiest to remember!

rawbert and rawnimation arte best ones for me =) lol

Upon doing research, rawbert's been taken. Rawnimation hasn't, I think. It'd be funny as hell if I used something like rawr.com... but that's taken, heh. Well, I assume anyway.

Your second best fan says myhead.

Bobert Nice Artwork its kinda funny aswell must of took a while to do all this :)
looks like a devil/human it could be hellboy lolz

Heh, yeah, it's a character redesign for a doppleganger type boss that appeared in MLAAP, one of my first OHRRPGCE games. Yep, good times.. notice the lack of skin on his legs-
WAITAMINUTEYOUJUSTCOMMENTEDONTHED RAWING.
So you have no opinion on the website url bit then?

Ive been on your webpage all the time its like a museum

Well, that's the first time I've heard that take on it, heh.

The best of your Art work is the one when it says :

Robs hair Sucks And the

Unicorn court

Well nifty, I'm glad you browsed through some of my artwork. I appreciate you taking the time, man!

'Ello old chap. Spiffy day, what what? Mmkay, fuck the british talk, down to business. 1) That guy freaks me out. 2) Hi. and 3!!)...Got milk?

rawsylum.net/
This one is the best to me, the word 'asylum' makes it original

Also, the art you make, is different what people usually make.
That's a very good point at drawing! :D

Hm, indeed. It portrays the crazier side of my art, but not all of my work is insane, just some of it. The Heart and the Hand being a perfect example of the opposite of crazy, I think. Perhaps, though.

You need to take into consideration what people would be looking up, AND what they think they would wanna click. No-one would wanna click on <a href="http://www.bobertrob.com">www.bobertrob.com</a> because it sounds like another blog website by some normal guy. Not saying you are or anything, you're one of the best animators on this site.
rawbert.com sounds awesome! Great idea.
There's alot of websites that end in "animation". Be more orgional, you can come up with something zazzy! Rawsylum is cool also but i dunno. The word assylum puts me off for some reason. but that's just me. And definately dot com it. I never ever click on dot net sites. i dunno. dot comming it is more professional.

good luck with it rawb! :D

Yeah, but I think rawbert is taken, so I don't think I could get it. Unless it was something besides a .com, anyway. I'm probably going with bobertrob.com for simplicity sake, though I get what you mean about the blog stuff. Although the news section is sort of a blog, so I dunno. It does offer more than just that though, so I think we should be good... maybe.

rawkandroll.com

You would suggest that, wouldn't you? Heh.

Wow, I never saw this...

Hrm... I'm thinking either bobertrob.com/net, or rawasylum.com/net... But it would be difficult to see what it is if it ISN'T bobertrob.com/net... Well, I guess you may want to try with rawasylum anyhow.

Rawanimation.com/net isn't a very good idea, as it would hint of something not so tasteful...

bobertrob.com sounds great!

dont do rawnamation do rawanimation its simpler and pretty easy to spell if u passed the 2nd grade

I would say bobertrob.whatever is your best bet, considering its your stuff on the website. Also, I might suggest you look into xmission.net as a potential host, they're the ones that host Maddox and he gets a buttload of traffic for what apparently were reasonable prices. Why not see what they can do for you?

Hm, I'll have to check that out. I seriously doubt I'll get much traffic to the site, but hey, it's worth a look. Fanks.

Itputsthelotiononitsskin.org

Robsylum.com hows that sound dude? I think it sounds creepy in a good way.
Twinsylum.com
handdrawnheart.com (hand drawn heart The logo would be a heart carved into a hand.)

I got more.

Hm, those sound nice, but I think I'll stick with bobertrob.com, due to simplicity. I think that's the one I've decided on, anyway. Who knows.

All right, Rob. Glad you made up your mind. Can't wait to bookmark it.

tell me why r u deciding? make them all together

Might use a few of them, I haven't decided yet. I know I'm going to use bobertrob.com, but as for the others, I don't know. Maybe.
