Looking to the future...

One of the things I've been thinking about doing recently is starting my own gaming community. I mentioned doing so in my last post (located here), and like I mentioned there, I'm missing some key things that are needed to start a community. Things like a theme (the binding factor for the members), server type (What kind of server should it be? Survival? Creative? Hardcore?), and a name. The first and last are, in my opinion, the more important parts that I need to figure out before purchasing anything. and I'd need to figure out the theme before the name so that I don't give the community a bad name. Like if the community were based around Doctor Who, for example, I wouldn't name the community "Sherlock-craft" or something like that. Sure, I'm exaggerating with that example, but it gets the point across.

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has been a big part of my life recently, but it seems as though Minecraft servers for bronies are very abundant. This makes creating a pony-themed server difficult since all the really good names are taken already. Names like Brohoof, Pon3 Gaming, Ponycraft, My Little Minecraft, and others. No doubt there are even more pony servers out in the wild. Because of this, I'd prefer to stay away from MLP if I can, but there aren't many other interests of mine that would make for good Minecraft servers.

I can't really think of any ideas that aren't already taken (mostly because I'm not incredibly creative), so drop any of your own ideas down below in the comments. If I decide to use an idea from below, I'll be sure to contact whoever thought of it and ask permission to use it.
