Renaming MPSIMS

:smack:
:slight_smile:

I’d also like to see the forum renamed, but only because the new title is so darned long! “Everyday Life”, “Stuff I Must Share”, or even “Et Cetera” would all be fine.

“Somewhat Harmless Interesting Things” … :wally

If we’re going to do that, should we then rename GQ to “For Ubiquitous Cecil Knowledge”? GD to “Debating Amongst Many Nabobs”? CS to “Cinema, Reality, And Performances”? Say, this is kind of fun …

Sounds like a magazine I saw at my dentist’s office.

Hey,* I* didn’t miss it! I just thought that, while amusing, it was too obvious to need comment. :slight_smile:

Just to add my tuppence-worth - I like just plain ole “Stuff” for a forum title.

Yes, you spelled “minutiae” right. Congratulations! :wink: And while I like the sound of that word in particular, and the alliteration of the title suggestion, my problem with the current title of the forum lies with the words “mundane” and “pointless”, so…

And, NoClueBoy, I didn’t miss what the abbreviation of your suggestion would be. Despite making me grin though, I just didn’t think it was worth commenting on. Amusing? Somewhat. Original? No really. :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyhoo…

Maybe this is a bad idea - but maybe not. Lets look at the list of forums from a detached perspective. Its a pretty big list if you think about it. It definitely takes a newbie several months to get accustomed (this is a good thing IMHO :slight_smile: ).

Now lets look at forum titles and descriptions and what they could be:

Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share (MPSIMS)
“What’s your favorite …?” For frank exchanges of views on less-than-cosmic topics. This is also the place for polling.

** In My Humble Opinion **
For general discussion: from frivolous chatter to deep thoughts; from harmless diversions to life-changing announcements.

Have The Powers That Be ever discussed, even frivolously, getting rid of Mundane Pointless Stuff I Must Share and just merging it with In My Huble Opinion?

My Humble Opinion was actually spun off of MPSIMS.

Interesting.

Harmless?!? That forum has got me through 8 keyboards and counting!

That reminds me of this:

Always makes me smile, that dude does… :smiley:
As for the forum renaming, it’s all right… but so long!

Farewell

Auf weidersein

Good bye
The Sun

Has gone

To bed and so must I

How about General Questions Lite?
Description: THE place to go when you want to get answers to questions that don’t require a new proof of the Schrödinger Equation. (unlike that other General Questions site). :smiley:

Folks, there’s just too much history wrapped up in MPSIMS.

We’re not going to change it.

And really, you should count your blessings; we ran for years with only two forums. “General Questions” and “Comments on Cecil’s Columns.” Ed said we could divide up the whole world that way and we didn’t NEED anything else.
