Renaming ourselves - POLL

[pixy0stix]

I lied, there are 6 options rather than the 5 I stipulated in the original thread. Please note - #5 is probably too long for a board name and would be cut off like it is in the poll.

Current Events is my choice...just so we move up on the list. I hate scrolling

Agreed. I wish we could adjust the home page to show boards by awesomeness rather than alphabetical. We'd be right at the top.

I was REALLY hoping Camera 3 would make it - but that Stewart reference might be too obscure.

Girl, I'll meet you at Camera 3.

And if any Daily Show reference is obscure, people are watching the wrong shit.

Newsies is terrible. Second only in awfulness to Brides Decide. It's so cutesy. I will complain about it for all eternity if that one wins.

The next worse is News Junkies.

In addition to being all around awesome, the name Obama, Mitt Romney, and Boutros Boutros Ghali are in a boat is probably the one that would spark the most interest among clever, interesting people. E08 is probably the least likely to do that since it's nondescript.

Just my two cents.

I really like that one, too, but if the name is going to get cut off because it's too long, then it really doesn't work

Agreed. Wasn't there a bad 80s movie called Newsies?

Sniff...it's an honor just to be nominated ;-)

Yes. It was awful. And a musical. I hate the name Newsies.

It's on Broadway right now too.

That's a really funny gif, though. It might sway my opinion.

Christian Bale was in Newsies. He was a newsboy. I think he's the one in front with the dark vest and rest scarf in that animated gif.

Yes. Which is why I now take personal issue with anyone who knocks that movie. He's my lovah.

[EllieArroway]

Just testing it out.... it doesn't cut it off

[penguingrrl]

Just came on and nearly died laughing at the name. I definitely think that's the winner!

[pixy0stix]

bwahaha! Soooo... I guess it fits.

[dylanite]

Glad to see democracy in action. Haha, just kidding. I know votes are submitted to apathetic eyes.

OMRBBGAIAB Is the shittiest acronym ever.

Sorry, but it's just a fact.

[druidp]

Agree. It's funny in a post, but the shelf life is maybe 36 hours max.

Yeah, I already got lost trying to the board once. It's funny but not practical.

ITA, this is why I don't like E08/E12 either. And while we could change in the future, it seems to make most sense to pick something with staying power.

[heyjude]

Wtf. I didn't even get to vote. I hate this name. It's way too fucking long. It's clever for cleaver's sake but totally impractical. We need to keep it simple.

It's actually kind of annoying. Maybe we should go matter-of-fact and not "funny."

It's not even funny!!!

The vote is still on until monday. This name isn't sticking around (unless it wins) I was just trying to see if it would get cut off.

Why is it Current Events and Politics? Politics and Current Events sounds much better.

Because C involves less scrolling than P and we're lazy heifers.

Clearly, we'd rather spend our time looking for news stories. lol

Okay, I shall adjust my outrage accordingly.

Can't you guys just copy and paste the link from this specific board? This is what I did and it brings me right into this board, not the main GBCN menu.
Now that's lazy.
