[edit] What NUON stands for.

It's pretty annoying how people keep removing the part where I posted that NUON stands for Nobody Understands Our Name. Dude, I used to read Next Gen when it was a mag worth reading. They said it THEMSELVES in an interview. I do not still have the issue, sorry. Though.... There's a slim chance it was also in Ultra Game Players. Those were the best mags around at the time. My point is that I ain't no stupid vandal and I will KEEP reinforcing the acronym. I WISH I had a citation but I no longer have the magazine. I checked!Utils

Unfortunately, that's not how Wikipedia works. Vague rememberences of something you might have read in a magazine a long time ago, is just not a reference. Claiming somthing that's not supported by any VM Labs press release, their own website (which is still archived), faq, fansite, or by people who actually worked at the company, makes it grounds for removal. Stating you'll keep adding it in, regardless of Wikipedia policy, is also grounds for disruptive editing and temporary blocking of your IP. If you can find a reference that supports it, as Wikipedia requires, then you're more than welcome to add that (along with the reference citation) back in. --Marty Goldberg 12:39, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
Okay. But don't fucking call it vandelism. Utils 23:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
And also how Wikipedia works - watch your language and the attitude. --Marty Goldberg 05:24, 11 June 2007 (UTC)
NUON never really meant Nobody Understands Our Name, though some of the staff would joke that's what it meant, another one was Never Underestimate Our Nuon. I worked on Freefall 3050 AD and talked to some of the guys there a bit and spent a few weeks in the VM Labs office, I didn't ask everyone, but those that I did, didn't know where the name came from and attributed it to some marketing people thinking up a scientific sounding name.
