Why DOT Hackers?

Why is the crew (Kite, Balmung, Blackrose, etc.) called the dothackers? Why not just the hackers? What does dot REALLY mean? o.O

No clue, why are Balmung and Orca called the Descendents of Fianna? It's just a name they choose... but I'm hoping we get to see a scene in //QUARANTINE when they decide to offically call themselves the .hackers... who will the members be?

I'm thinking...
Kite
BlackRose
Balmung
Elk
Wiseman
Orca

I would say anyone who joined Kite in his quests...

Why not .hackers? n.x; It sounds cool. Besides, it would give the title ".hack" a meaning as well.

My theory is that it's sort of computer related.. & they're called ".hackers" because of Kiute's bracelet, which pretty much hacks into a noun's data & deletes/edits it.

Speaking of the members..
I do recall in the .hack//Dusk manga,they show like the shadows of the members when Rena talks about the .hackers.
They show Mia,Blackrose,Kite,Mistral..and I cant make out the last one that well x_x;
But that is just a few though,they probably couldnt fit the other players in that one space,or decided not to :/

Prolly: Kite, Blackrose, Mistal(sp), Mia, Sanjuro, and Balmung!
and in Dusk: Shugo replaces Kite, both heros;
Rena replaces Blackrose, both w/e, they look alike or something;
Mirelle, same thing as Rena, only she replaces Mistral;
Ouka replaces Mia, both "special characters;
and nobody replaces Sanjuro and Balmung, cuz they replace themselves.

^_^;
[edit] Ooops, I forgot Elk, and Hotaru replaces him.

In other words
Dot Hackers
Sign ---------------------------------Dusk
Kite -------- Replaced by ------- Shugo
Blackrose --- Replaced by ------ Rena
Mistral ------- Replaced by ----- Mirelle
Mia --------- Replaced by ---- Ouka (Orca)
Elk --------- Replaced by -------- Hotaru
Balmung ------------------------ Same
Sanjuro ------------------------- Same

Whoa take all that in at once

Ano.. instead of "SIGN" shouldn't it be "Games?"

It's just a phonetic spelling of the way we say computer terms. Like:

"dubba-yoo dubba-yoo dubba-yoo DOT..."

But "dot hackers" sounds pretty silly to me. How about "dawt hax0rz"?

... it's called .hackers... because someone went... "and then there were these .hackers who messed up the world" and accidentally hit the . key, so it just stuck?

Well, everyone starts somewhere, & they just grow up... I remember being thought of weirdly for typing like a child... Now I yell at the people who do.. I should start a fundraiser.... the "TEACH KIDS TO TYPE CORRECTLY Fund." c.c;;; Sounds like something I'd do.....

That sounds like 'Derek Zoolander's School for Children who can't read well, and would like to do other good things too'

I love that movie.

There is no reason they just called it that because they needed a name for the people.
