I agree with the need to rename the forum.  
But gee whiz…nobody listened to me when I suggested doing it last year.

> Much of MPSIMS is mundane and pointless. But much of it is not. Right now, the breaking news thread on the Ukraine war thread is running there. On Sept 11, the was also a long thread. There are threads about the death or illness of fellow Dopers, etc. That’s all pretty serious stuff…and the forum title should reflect it. A while back, the mods re-named General Q to Factual Questions…A very simple change, and a good one. I suggest we do the same with MPSIMS.

But I do admit that keeping the full, original 6-letter abbreviation is a better idea than my shorter version.
