No, I very much doubt that the content and camaraderie will change. It is indeed a wonderful bunch of regulars who frequent the forum, with often varying and esoteric views that lead to most interesting exchanges.

It will still indeed be a rose. (Or possibly a "gulab ka phool" for the regulars. )

(against all my instincts to not prolong a debate that doesn't seem to be going anywhere), no - the camaraderie shouldn't and will not change any bit due to a mere name change. But is that reason enough to justify the new name? I guess it just boils down to how people tend to associate a set of words with something bigger though intangible over a period of time.. and a seemingly undemocratic/sudden change don't make things easy

Thanks for asking! Always appreciated an earnest question over a sarcastic retort.

A rose by another name is still a rose. That said, if a rose would rather be called gulab ka phool than rose, I would certainly take it into account when referring to them

Similarly, the content and camaraderie in our little corner of FT is fantastic. Whether or not we have our preferred name, not much will change.

The effect of changing the name back will be to make the members of our forum community happier. That's all. While it may not yield tangible, measurable "improvements," the forum regulars getting their wishes heard will certainly contribute to the positive atmosphere we already have in our forum.

+1 -- Whatever PVDtoDEL said (couldn't have said it better myself ;-)

Sounds like a sense and sensibility kind of argument to me. We'll see which side our CD lands on.

Agreed, but still better to have a "gulab ka phool" than a "gandae ka phool" though!

Any updates on this from the TB members? I hope it gets changed back from I-bA to AoI.

PVDtoDEL, I could not have put it any better:

I've thought about this, and discussed it with the forum mod. I recognize that my decision for consistent forum nomenclature is unpopular with a subset of the forum regulars. I regret that, as I really like folks to be content with decisions. However, I am not going to revert the name as I continue to believe in the reasons for the change that I gave earlier.

I'll go ahead and close this thread now.
