Perhaps I'm being overly sensitive and I mention it now before it becomes
any more entrenched but I'm not fan of acronyms to begin with and I find
this particular choice of acronym - GOD - to be a little disconcerting.

Although some jokey acronyms may seem amusing at first the novelty value
tends to wear off.  I would ask that people reconsider, the words "Gnome
Online" are not too hard to type, and quite a succint phrase that if
searched for one might stand a decent chance of being able to find
something relevant.
