@Dewde and I were at our watering hole and we were talking about how our community here across the 8BIT Network has grown and it suddenly dawned on us that we do not have an official “moniker” for an “8BIT Community Member.”
So, what do you call an member of the 8BIT Community? And “8BIT-er”? (Just kidding, that’s lame…)
Let’s hear your thoughts! We’ll officially “canonize” it when we have a good one.
Andy Darnell says
It ain’t pretty, but I would just say 8BIT Follower or Tribe
History Gives us:
Monty Python Followers = pythonists or the pythons
David Koresh – Davidians
Jim Jones – Weren’t the “The People”
Scientology – Scientologists
Sorry for all the cult references 🙂
John Saddington says

NEXT!
Chris Ames says
*sigh*

Nathan Creitz says
“bits”
“bytes”
“biters”
Tom says
Bitlets.
Brett Barner says
Winner!
Andrew says
How about Genies? (As in Game Genie…)
Does the fact that the Game Genie was designed by a company called Codemasters influence your decision at all?
Ben Miller says
Crunchers?
Stephen Bateman says
Crunchies?
Ben Miller says
Crunchheads?
John says
How about The BitCorps?
Tom Jamieson says
Why not go all out and use “commandos” ?
Patrick Woods says
8ers. Like haters, but more of a blessing.
Chris Ames says
You win my vote. Killer.

Tom says
Yes.
Ben says
I’m no genius but I like it.
8ters is good but my iPad auto corrected it to ‘uterus’ and that could be a problem.
Graham Brenna says
Ah hahaha… uterus’
Andrew Mason says
Hmmm…Uterus? Catchy!
Graham Brenna says
I could get behind it.
Ben says
How about bitians? (just be careful how you say it.)
Andy Darnell says
The bitians? Who are the bitians?
We all are. We are all bitians.
Graham Brenna says
… and I am your King!
Ah King eh, very nice. And how’d you get that name? By exploiting the workers! By hanging on to outdated imperialist dogma that perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society! If there’s ever going to be any progress… DENNIS THERE’S SOME LOVELY FILTH DOWN HERE!
(sorry… got a little carried away… all from memory mind you)
dewde says
I dunno, must be a king.
How do you know?

Jared Folkins says
“I’m an 8b0t”
dewde says
Love it!
Adam Hann says
I think “byte” or “bytes” would be appropriate. Seeing that there is 8 bits in a byte. Or it could be “8bit bytes”
dewde says
I am torn between 8ers and 8bots… but think 8ers has it for my vote!
peace | dewde
Mark says
I know its stupid but i cant stop thinking of those two – 8ers & 8bots and i keep wanting to call myself an 8blob…
