Recently after programming mods for WoW I have become fimiliar with Nil as a replacement for commonly used Null. This has been an enlightening experience for me as I am no longer a slave to the Null!
What about you?!
Edit: This is not a discussion of the forum name but rather a preference to which synonym you use for nothing!!!!

I like null better. It fits more appropriately with the Starcraft forums here.

Anything goes was the best if you ask me.
Moose zone was stupid.
Null just sounds like "it's null I can spam here!"
Nil? Sounds gay.

Which is what usualy happens to topics.
Personaly, I like "nil", if only because it's too rarely used.

The problem with using Nil is that it's the persian word for fortune.

Nil sounds cooler for the number 0 but if you're talking about Strings and such, Null. (vbNullString)

Other meanings of the word:
From Wiki on nil:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nil
"In colloquial language, nil as an abbreviation of the Latin word "nihil" (nothing) is sometimes used to express disagreement."
and on null:
From Wiki on null:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Null
"It originates from the Latin word nullus, meaning not any. "Null" is the word for zero in German and Norwegian. (Similar to "nul" in Dutch and Danish, "noll" in Swedish and "nulo" in Esperanto.)"
Truth be told, Nil is actually better definition of what we think of null since the origins of Null = zero in German. Since zero is actually describing a quantity it actually represents a value. Nil however truely means nothing.

Length of Null > Length of Nil

Null is cooler than Nil.
