August 5, 201411 yr So I dont know if this has been brought up here, but I posted this a while ago on Facebook and feel its time we have some sort of official title for us as fans but what do we call each other? When I talk to other nerds and say I am a Guyver-Fan they go "OH MacGyver!" So that made me start thinking. There are G-Fans for Godzilla and other Kaiju fans, Whovians for Doctor Who fans, Trekkies for Star Trek Fans, Fannibals for Hannibal Lecter fans. Hell even Twilight fans are called Twihards or Twihearts. Someone on Facebook suggested "BioBoosters" and a Co-Worker who also likes Guyver suggested "Zoa-nerds." I am open to suggestions for a list in which we can take a poll on the most popular one to be our fandom title.
August 5, 201411 yr As long as you don't apply the label to others, that's fine, doesn't bother me.I don't personally feel good about special names for fans, but if you guys want it, I am prepared to support you in whatever way you need it.
August 5, 201411 yr That's because Star Wars is known on an international level by all ages; everyone in the world knows what Star Wars is. That and I don't think they've found a cool enough name to call themselves.
August 5, 201411 yr Not all fandoms need nicknames IMO. The current suggestions just feel too forced to me.

August 5, 201411 yr Author That is why I asked for suggestions in this thread that we can toss around.
August 6, 201411 yr We don't need a label. Star Wars fans don't need any. Does the term "Warsies" ring a bell?

August 6, 201411 yr Why not call the fandom the Guyver nation or something similar to that? I honestly prefer being simply called a Guyver Advocate though.
August 6, 201411 yr We're too small to be considered a 'fandom'. Besides, what do you call fans of Batman? Of the Avengers? I don't think a name is necessary.
August 6, 201411 yr Author But think of it. If we have a title in which we can call ourselves, it might respark interest in Guyver again. I mean look at the Hannibal Lecter fan base. It was small before the NBC series was released and picked up a small following. It wasnt until people started wearing Hannibal shirts reading Fannibal, that it picked up in popularity with shirts like "You're talking to a Fannibal. Please don't be rude."
August 6, 201411 yr I think what you're aiming for is publicity. it can be done without a designated term for a fanbase, but don't let that dissuade you, I only mentioned it for clarity. Anyone could wear a t-shirt with a control metal on it, if these things are produced by the people who own the copyright. actually i do see the attraction here, as the 'name' of a fandom is not copyright protected, so technically, anyone could make a t-shirt with that emblazoned on it. a particular name that a couple of members do tend to use is 'the advocacy'. I don't particularly mind that, but it isn't really specific enough for putting on a t-shirt.
August 7, 201411 yr What about something that focuses on the site like "Armoured Legends" followed by a collage of armoured figures such as Guyver, Kamen Rider, Tekkaman, etc.
August 7, 201411 yr What about something that focuses on the site like "Armoured Legends" followed by a collage of armoured figures such as Guyver, Kamen Rider, Tekkaman, etc. I think we could call ourselves Toku-Nuts at the point, but the term is to broad to fit most of us, I believe.
August 8, 201411 yr What about "G-Units"? I wouldn't mind being refereed to as a G-Unit, but I guess in the context of the series it doesn't make sense. Also, wasn't that the name of 50 Cents group? lol Edited August 8, 201411 yr by kanji_xiii
August 9, 201411 yr Yeah it was. There is also a rapper named Guyver. Honestly, I would of thought 50 cent would of had a group called. "2 cents short of proper grammar" but that's just me. I'm still partial to Bio-Boosters. But really don't need a fan nickname, nor would most people get it even if introduced as such. Still fun though. XD
February 11, 201511 yr How about Guyver Fans? Sound any good? Edited February 11, 201511 yr by Jupiter Knight
February 16, 201511 yr Hi guys, I tried looking for a introduction thread but couldn't find one so... Hello! I loved the Guyver when I was in high-school and was totally hooked on the video releases from Manga Entertainment. I found this forum and thought I'd register as I have just started reading the Guyver from scratch! Greetings and sorry if this should be posted someplace else!
