Forum name question - customization or customisation?
Why is the "Modification and Customisation" forum spelled with an S? Is the Administrator from a country where this is the correct spelling? (Australia?)

RE: Forum name question - customization or customisation?
hehehe...'colour'
I never got over that. It's not bad or anything its just that I never thought there should be a U there. It's kind of like the French language. (only in this case its English...wait...what am I talking about?)
Versailles= pronounced versai (french) WTF is that about?
on topic: yeah the UK is FTW everyone knows there's a u in colour. I spell it that way all the time. As for the customization thing, s sounds just like Z.

What has to happen for the name to be corrected?
Google results
Customisation 5.6 million
Customization 36.9 million

The word you've entered isn't in the dictionary. Click on a spelling suggestion below or try again using the search bar above.
Suggestions for customisation:
1. customization
WHOIS for Wiiloaded.com shows -
Technical contact in Baldwyn Mississippi USA
Hosted in Chesterbrook Pennsylvania USA
I sorted the userlist by number of posts showing the most active forum members and for the first five pages only 4 members were in the UK.
Is this enough proof that a Z is the most appropriate spelling for the board?

RE: Forum name question - customization or customisation?
It didn't really bother me.
D4rkDrago0n: Wow... You've made quite an impression on me. You have my respect.
I can admit now that this was a test for the moderators of the site. Im surprised at how clean the thread stayed. I NEVER thought the name would be changed. In fact I feel bad now because I expected a fight. My experiences of Wiichat gave me a preconceived notion. Rep for d4rkdrag00n
