Suggestion for renaming MPSIMS

to something like Miscellaneous Personal Stuff I Must Share?

There have been some threads moved there from different forums lately with a mod note along the lines of “it’s not that we think your thread is pointless, this is just the forum where we put threads like this.”

It would keep the same abbreviation and gets rid of the negative connotation of “pointless.”

Just a thought. I like to treasure 'em when I has 'em :smiley:

I agree. There are a bunch of old-timers who adamantly disagree, though, and they all outrank us.

I love mundane and pointless, even it really is momentous and profound.

One person’s momentous and profound is another’s mundane and pointless.

Merge it with IMHO!

Maybe Profound Stuff I Must Share? That way, both bases are covered.

Misc. Personal covers it pretty well without making any subjective assessments about the subject matter. I actually think that’s a better name for it than what we have now, but either way, whatever.

You will have to pry my MPSIMS from my cold dead hands.

Oldish-timer checking in. I like Misc. Personal Stuff I Must Share. Preserves the acronym but saves us from people having to say “this isn’t really mundane but my dog got run over by a car today” or whatever.

I started almost exactly this thread in ATMB a couple of years ago. FWIW I still think it’d be a good idea.

I read this as “outdrank” us, and was highly displeased to have been left out of that contest. I’m in favor of switching to “Miscellaneous Personal”, and if I must get plastered to show my support, then so be it.

Wait – if I get really drunk they’ll change the name?

That’s what happened to me.

I used to be named “Professor Spider’s Understudy.”

Miscellaneous?

How mundane.

A pointless change when it’s just replacing one word, rather than the entire title. (Which I happen to like.)

Two words, actually :wink:

Perhaps someone should start a poll.

I think it’s a sound suggestion, myself.

It’s not going to happen.

…so you want me to get personal, do ya ugly?

:smiley:

But then where will I post stuff that’s pointless but impersonal?

IF??? :smiley:
