Modacity?

[UnevenElefant5]

What's Modacity supposed to mean? I always thought it was supposed to be like rhyming with Audacity or something because the mods are audacious (wierd, I know). But some other people thought it was Mod-a-city.
Anyway, just wondering where the name originates from.
Don't kill meh please.

I think the "mod" refers to the many user-created game mods that this site focuses heavily on.

I think the "acity" refers to the many asses that inhabit this "city".

One day, long ago, there was a great king. His name was Moddasitty. This king would parade through the many towns, villages and would show off all of the improvements to his kingly tricycle.
Eventually, the towns grew into cities, and instead of calling them improvements, he used the word modifications. After a time however, the king grew weary of the insolence of so many letters so he shortened it to mod.

This website is in tribute to that heavenly ruler.

This.

Inspiration from audacity (aud -acity)

Goal was to set up a modding community (mod -acity)

I pronounce it more like MO-dacity though, instead of MOD-acity.


By the way, I own modreality.com, haha.

Also, we need a new logo and a new "image". Or more modding.

Yeah, I was. When I said mods, I meant game mods, I should have been more specific.
