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)

Closure

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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.
