I liked the name 'clout' when people were discussing the name of Hive. Especially since it has made a comeback in usage over the internet lately:
It would also fit well with Hive Power, cause someone having a lot of it could automatically get a lot of clout on here and use it to give it to others. It does have some negative connotations as well though, so maybe good thing we didn't go for it. Hive is a good name, unfortunately there's many using it as well but they're all pretty different projects focusing on something else and those who are similar I don't think will stand a chance against ours. :)
