Comment

[edit]

I think the history should be reversed, so I will do that, since this is a low trafficked article. --NapalmRiot 20:23, 23 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Closure

[edit]

As employees arrive this morning, they're being told that Stormfront is out of business, they should go home, and that it isn't an april fools joke. Ct4ul4u (talk) 16:58, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gamasutra first reported about the closure. Next-Gen confirmed it. Although news on April 1 should be picked rather carefully, I believe this can be mentioned (both are industrial sites, not consumer sites that are bound to joke like GameSpot or IGN). -- ReyBrujo (talk) 20:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As a sidenote to this, former Stormfront employee David Maxwell has taken up a teaching position at College of Marin as the head teacher of Video Game Design; I'm in his advanced class as we speak.--Zhane Masaki (talk) 23:56, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To Stormfront!

Any connection to the Stormfront (website)?

Or are they completely unrelated? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.29.155.218 (talk) 19:12, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

They are completely unrelated. It's just a coincidence that they have the same name. - 217.120.69.19 (talk) 19:35, 16 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
technically not a coincidence, as they are both using "storm front" in their names, and a storm front is an appropriate image for a multitude of otherwise unrelated entities: action video games, radical political organizations, military campaigns, etc. a coincidence would be if both were called "sprightblevers" or "gimmagobs", with both coming up with the name independently.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 20:29, 26 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]
It is a coincidence because there is no connection, coordination or shared causation between the two instances of the name being chosen. If two people choose to wear the same t-shirt in the same place at the same time without some sort of connection (such as it being a uniform of a group they're both representing at that time), it is merely a coincidence. It doesn't stop being one because the t-shirt happened to be a good fit or style for each person individually. A coincidence does not have to be remarkable, uncanny, or involve a non sequitur.
On a side note, nothing objectively makes Stormfront a good name for anything, unless it's related to weather. On which grounds I wouldn't have said it was a particularly obvious name for either a hate forum, or a game developer. Not that you mentioned either in your examples.
