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?

Customisation 5.6 million
Customization 36.9 million

WHOIS for Wiiloaded.com shows -

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
