I voted for M&Ms to adopt blue as their newest color. When it came to pass, I looked into a bag and realized what a mistake I’d made. The traditional color scheme had been just ruined. So I’ll add my name to the list of those who want **slythe** to remain. ---

Personally, I say, stay with Slythe. Assuming you don’t, Czarcasm is a better name than Chicken of Bristol. That being said, I vote for CoB. Why? Because, in the “help me pick my new name” thread, you said “I’ll take the name that gets the most votes”, and that was CoB. ---

The people who voted in the last thread can vote in this one too. There is nothing barring them. ---

It seems that some of you think I started the new thread because I didn’t want to be known as “Chicken of Bristol”. On the contrary, because of the obvious pattern I saw developing(someone comes up with a popular name, others follow with “Me, too!”, someone else comes up with another popular name, others say “Me too!” _not reading the whole post and realizing that the first good name existed_), I decided to take the top two names and stick them in the title of the new thread, so that the first name would be considered on an equal basis with the newer name. Now that I hopefully cleared that up, there are still almost two hours to vote. 🙂 ---

Are any of the other moderators going to join in and have a renaming contest? Or are they afraid to be the unlucky one who actually got saddled with Chicken of Bristol? ---

**SterlingNorth** : > [@](#): > > Well, since it’s all the rage, now I’m considering changing my alias Yeah, me too. “ **Five** ” is too hard to search threads for. But I’ll start a new thread. Congratulations, **Czarcasm**! “Welcome” “aboard.” (Said in “” since you’ve really been “welcome” and “aboard” for such a long time now.)
