Well, i was playing TF2 earlier when i was looking at my server list, i spotted one named "HyperGN". Apparently they're tag is "HGN" just like ours.
http://hypergn.net/forums/ (http://hypergn.net/forums/)
I dont know whats going on but i thought i should share this with you guys.
A COPY OF US?!?!?!?!
Mabbeh its a copy of us!!!
I seriously don't know whats just happening...
Some fail attempt to fake HGN?
Fail.. time to flame their forums.
It's some community which has been around for a few months, pretty much copying the same name.
Well if you want me to go spam their forums I would be glad xD
spamming their forums wouldn't be good for this community: they can always spam us too, heh.
They fail hardcore they be wana be's of you guys ;) i fell spammy hmmmm they will never know who i am mwhahahaha
Listen you fucks, Never spam another community. Thats basically saying, "LOL WERE SO KOOL LOK AT US HATIN' ON YOU CAUSE YOUR DIFFERENT", and it will bring a shit ton of fighting.
It's not even a copy, they just didn't know there already was a HyperGamer Network, and again I swear to go if you spam a community >>
EDIT: Did any of you idiots even think to see if this community is older then us, which it is.
Do not flame

Your one who said they were faking us.
So obviously you care.
And we'd by the ones copying them, they started their forum before July of 2008.
yea, who cares
They have the same name , so what. Can't we all just get along :'(?
Coincidence, so what?
And DON'T spam the forums, it makes THIS HGN look bad and it's not very nice.
I was joking..
Forget about the TF2 community. They haven't done anything to us, we don't do anything to them. We don't need to spam them like retards, or else we will look like retards. Just ignore them, they're just trying to have a good time, like we are.
Let's be friends diplomatic relations hoy!
Since when did we enforce democracy?

You're a fucking idiot. You're one of the many that earn HGN a bad name on Garry's Mod. Joking or not, it is the reason a plethora of communities dislike HGN.

That makes you daft too, since this forum was made BEFORE JULY 2008 and HGN has been around since 2002.

Oh yeah forgot this is a emperor/dictator ship :P
TO SK:
Welp....It seems I have been RAPED.
Time for me to....hit the OLE DUSTY TRAIL *runs off*
No flaming guys, we are all mature here except for them HGN outcasts.
I think we should not do anything stupied here ok. I mean hopefully it is not to much of a big deal but we dont want to make it a big deal.
Like sickness said there just some little tf2 community.
Who cares maybe they or we accidently took the same name so who cares ???
This thread shows why alot of people don't like HGN.
Kids, think about what you say, and how it will portray you to everyone else.

Sadly you weren't.
Plunger, what do you have against me? Why are you a total bitch to me? I'm done with the minge days. Its been a year. I have matured. I HAVE STOPPED MINGING. No need to bring up the ole days. Just start fresh. And I didin't spam thier forums, because I wasen't gonna get rebanned from HGN.
Dude, guys chill, just a server with the same name as us, they might not have known we even existed and proceeded, besides, NOW WE HAVE RIVALS TO KILL IN TF2 :D
Yeah, lets not turn this into a flame war ^.^
Hey guys, I was alerted to this topic by Rokshocka (See above)
I want to say that I mean no disrespect to your community or users and that I did not intentionally copy you when I began HGN in Australia. It started off as "Hyper Gaming Network", whereas the "GN" (gaming network) section of it came from having servers in 2 or more games. We recently abandoned our GMod area as it was too much of a burden for just myself to run alongside school and TF2. This was then shortened to "HyperGN" and referred to as 'HGN' by the users of the community.
I understand how your users feel about a community with the same name, feeling the need to spam or attack it in some way - this is not all bad, as it's showing you that members of your community are so proud to be a part of it that they are willing to fight for it.
Again, I was not aware when I created HGN that there was already another HGN in existance. I apologise to your community and your members if this has caused problems or otherwise.
Thank you for understanding.
Dicko.

I appeciate you coming here to HGN and speaking your mind on this point of view, it's alright if you use the "HGN" but the somewhat "long" name is abit off for us, since we use it too and were using it first, if you just stick to HyperGN helps displace us apart slightly. Ive known you have existed for several months now when i came across you by one of our admins, i was quite annoyed by the factor, but the world is not perfect, and great idea's are always abundent, it's pretty amazing that such a duplicate in names could crop up. None the less no one from here should give you any grief.
Of course my members are proud of HGN, as am i, it's founded on respect, professionalism and a dream, there's not much i can say in the way to try and get you to change your name to something else, it would cause us both alot less hassle. I can't force you but i would suggest it. We have been using the name HGN aka "HyperGaming Network" for several years now, founded in 2002, back then it was "HyperGame Gaming Network", much longer, but we did away with the extra word 3 years ago. We shall see what the future holds.
