Renaming ourselves - 1st round

[pixy0stix]

Throw out your ideas for what this board should be called. I'll take the top 5 after 24 hours and we'll vote over the weekend.

And GO!

[pixy0stix]

My suggestion is "The AP Board"

[meshaliuknits]

Honestly, I kind of like Politics. Or we can kick it old school and go with E08/E12

Hmmm... This could result in some pretty funny mistakes with newbies who think it's an Attachment Parenting Board... Maybe the lady on the cover of the current Time will show up? I second the motion!

[marie427]

The only reason I'm hesitant about The AP Board is that Bumpies will come in thinking its about Attachment Parenting. But maybe we want Bumpies stumbling in and writing silly posts about why poor people in Africa don't just rent a U-Haul and move to make the lives better?

My suggestion - Politics & Headlines. Boooooooring.

All I can think of is Associated Press, instead of advanced placement.

Me too.

What's wrong with Politics & Current Events? Copywrite infringement?

We're trying to distance ourselves a bit from TN.

Occupy Pro Board

Decisive Division

Martyr and Servant

I think Politics is fine--they can't own the word "Politics."

Also, I'm a fuddy-duddy that way. I wouldn't mind E08, though--I still think of us that way, anway

How about "Advanced Placement Board" or "Honors board" if AP is too confusing?

Any of these would be great. But, "The Nest is Too Damn Slow" made me choke a little. It was more than a mouthful of awesome

[emisi]

Seems like the simplest choice would just be "Politics" or "Politics and Gossip"

Oh please this.

I will also suggest Blue Pie, as blue is the color of the "people and places" pie piece in trivia pursuit. And pie is awesome.
