If I was new to FT I'd actually probably look for location if I wasn't looking for a specific airline program.

So India-based or Hawaiian-based or Russia-based would probably direct me closer to where I needed to be if I didn't find it under a specific airline program (which is how the rest of the airline programs are listed).

I would actually think it more strange to see Hawaii, India & Russia grouped together because the 3 have literally nothing in common other than "Airlines of".

Cheers.
FWIW, I found the Airlines of India forum when I was looking for Air India Flying Returns. I found the Hawaii-based Airlines forum when I was looking for Hawaiian.

I don't see why someone would go looking for "India" when the rest of the forums are named after airlines.


FWIW, I think the vast majority of people find our forum through google.

I like logical way of thinking. :)

Then you'd best start lobbying to have the "Airlines Programs" area cleaned up immediately; I don't know how you can stand it. ;)

That's not accurate.

My count was:
  • 4 members in support of renaming it back (PVDtoDEL, snod08, Simz, and zenith2010). Since then, AoI forum regulars Hyderago, lallyr, deepakbhatia, bollyfan, and zoonil have voiced that they support renaming it back, along with AoI community member exbayern, who admittedly is only a lurker on our forum. This topic has also been discussed in other places, such as Chai Stall and a few other threads, where there was other support of renaming it back.
  • 2 members in favor of keeping the name as it is (Babu, who has said that he would have no objections if it were changed back even though he likes it the current way, and lo2e, who most certainly not a frequent poster/reader of AoI)
  • 8 members who were indifferent to the change. (GUWonder, Oliver2002, SeeBuyFly, Keyser, B747-437B, Mr. Bean, SQ421 and rurouni212). They all said "We don't care what you call it" - which certainly doesn't mean that they support it in current form. It just means that they don't want to spend time/effort lobbying to get it changed back.

That's a very different picture than you were posting.
Actually jackal is correct, and your calculation is not accurate.

So you are against changing it back? As in, you would prefer that the name is kept the current way?

That is not what your post said -

As Mrs Slocombe* would say, I am quite unanimous in my indifference to the name of the forum. The content is what floats my boat. :)

My comment in post 64 refers to your calculation and it's inaccuracy based on the linked thread from the India-based airlines forum.

Your numbers from that thread are incorrect. Jackal's numbers are correct.

I listed all the members I counted as I counted...

Could you please note the specific inaccuracies in my post (other than forgetting to include you, which I have since fixed).

There you go! You found the inaccuracy in your initial calculation which was clearly wrong and needed fixing.

While jackal's calculation was always correct.

Even after fixing my calculation, it differs significantly from Jackal's.

Carol, we're still waiting for your comment anxiously...

Hi SanDiego1K,

I believe you have the authority on deciding/putting at rest what's being debated here. Although a newbie FT poster, I have been lurking around the erstwhile 'Airlines of India' forum since a long time. I have always found it fun, warm and informative, with members who are unpretentious and welcoming. Personally speaking, the new name does not feel quite right or befitting. More practically, the forum name does not have to begin with 'India' in order to make things easier - I don't believe any newbie would have had trouble finding the forum with the old name since it used to feature right near the top anyway. Most of all, the 'Airlines of India Chai Stall' sticky - the concept of which can only be fully appreciated by Indians or folks who have spent some time in the sub-continent - just doesn't go with the new forum name.

Some have been more vehement than others in defending the old name, but do know that there are those on the sidelines (like me) who are not fans of the name change.

Someone had a few snarky words for me earlier on this thread, but these are exactly the kind of people I am yet to run into on the India forum, and hope our voice gets considered.

SkiAdcock Apr 30, 2012 8:12 am
Just curious - will the content & camaraderie amongst the Indian airline regulars change if the name stays the new name? "A rose by any other name is still a rose".

Cheers.
