Caedes: Why the Name?

The first time I reached caedes.net, I realized that caedes was a Latin word but never bothered to look it up. Today I did so and was quite surprised.

caedes, caedis: a cutting down, killing, slaughter; a slain person; blood shed in slaughter

For such a beautiful community, the name caedes seems like quite an odd choice. Is there any reason as to why it was chosen?

Thanks,
Sodfather

Caedes, I think maybe this one qualifies as an FAQ now... ;-)

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

Ahhh, don't I look stupid. ;) Thanks for calming my curiosity, guys.

P.S. The site's name is pronounced "ki-dez" with a long "i." The "ae" dipthong is always a long "i" sound. So that means Caesar is "ki-zer." :P
