COMMENTS REQUESTED: Changing the name and branding of this website
Calum:
pkd, i have to disagree with you totally. If the content is so insulting, then tough, that's it. The question is, is the content being held back by the name? i think so...
If he approaches all the media and says "hey i have a site called fuckmicrosoft.com" how many of them do you think will keep listening long enough for him to say "and it's full of good stuff and i'm thinking of changing the name"?
Nope, change the name first. That's what i say...
Master of Reality:
We (the bobs) support the MES and will help spread publicity of your site not matter what the name is. We Bobs do not discriminate against anyone, except the anti-bobs, whether sex, age, colour, race, or dubious smell. www.bobhub.cjb.net has link to your site and so does The Abyss.
But for those Nazi's that are against profanity you could just change it to www.MES.com or .org.
I will get some of the Bobs to start pimping MES just as much as we trip out The Cult of Bob
Lane:
I'd say change the name for sure. When I first saw the link for the side, I considered not checking it out because I thought that it might simply be a profane and less than appropriate website.
Needless to say, it's not and the name does fit, but I think that to encourage more publicity, a name change would be good.

Hey, I support this site. I DO NOT find the site insulting, etc. and I would certainly not change the content (I know you didn't suggest this I'm just prempting), I was just interested in whether there has been any 'actual' feedback.
If not, there are people and organisations out there who hold more 'liberal' views of such language, which we all seem to agree is the biggest barrier to this sites furtherence.
I would love to keep the forum content as it is, and the name. I was putting up the idea of whether the site has to change, or whether there are enough free thinking individuals out there that this site can survive intact.
Whoops I just reread that last statement, if there were enough free thinking individuals then M$ would not be where it is today.

This is great! My previous post "the f-word" was all about schools and company's blocking everything related to fuck, including some parts of this website and this forum.
My suggestion is www.microsoft-eradication.org, because people just don't understand what ms-eradication.org means...
