Redwing Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I dunno, I rather like "Life and How to Live it" (except I have to do a double take each time I come here cuz I'm looking for "The Harbor") - but I'm really nothing more than a long time lurker here, so who am I to vote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoom Rabbit Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 Originally posted by C Shutt That's rather a lot to lay at my doorstep, considering I am neither one of those things. Funny. I was strongly under the impression that you were a moderator on one of the LF boards. Yufster: Aren't you missing an opportunity to propose naming the forum 'Bill Gates' Love Shack?' Surely you can do better than 'DJG...' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernil Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 C Shutt, something about your posting sytles makes me lose respect for you, bud. Ok, "Life and how to Live it" is getting more..desirable as I think about it. My vote goes slightly to the harbor, but I will support this name too. And if Lucastone's idea isn't taken seriously, I'll cry. It was brilliant, bud. P.S. Where's Remi and Benny? They haven't been around since the change of "The Harbor" name.

Remi Posted October 9, 2003 Share Posted October 9, 2003 I'm still here, but I find the whole discussion lame. So I don't participate. Benny doesn't have computer access at his current location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edlib Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 How about "Harbor Life"? On second thought that sounds too much like an insurance company... "Life in the Harbor, and how to live it"?... Too wordy... "Livin' Life in the Harbor, with DJG"?... Naw,.. sounds too much like a public access talk show... Hmmm... I guess I'll just go with "The Harbor" since I'm a creature of habit and comfort,.. although it's really a toss up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natty Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Shutt's opinion doesn't count. So anyways. Ummmmm I guess most of us were brought up on the Harbor (so to speak, you know what I mean) so for many of is it has that sentimental thing to it. But like Mr Joshi said I think it was(and what's with the name change dear? What happened to the Neil?) I guess it's time to move on I guess. The harbor has caused nothing but problems in recent months. The best thing to do would be some sort of compromise. Harbor Life was suggested, which could work, but yes, it makes me think of a life insurence company. If I guess a decision can't be made, I just suggest "Off Topic Discussion" or something equally boring like that. Life and how to live it is growing on me, I just think that if I was a newbie, seeing a forum called that would freak me out and make me want to run away crying. It just seems so serious and overpowering I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrik Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 As I see it, the name isn't really that new anyway. Remember that this forum was merged with TSB's forums? And the Harbour was carried over as the general discussion forum's name from EscapeMI.com? As pointed out, Life and how to Live it was TSB's general discussion forum, so all that's really happened is that the pre-merge names have been swapped. It could have been Life and how to Live it from the start, but the Harbour got in there first. Of course, none of you* would know/care about that since you all assume that the only community which ever existed here was your own. * With the exception of RayJones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Natty Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I think if it's changed back to The Harbor, those who like Life And How To Live It will be ****ty and vice versa (if it remains Life people who like Harbor will get ****ty) As I said earlier, Life and How To Live It is growing on me, but it just sounds so serious. I think it would be just easier to rename it General Discussion or Off Topic Discussion, that way everyone is unhappy Sure those names might be boring, but at least it doesn't come across like mods and admin are playing favourites over the name choice.

Ernil Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Looks like "Life and how to Live it" came through victorious. Democracy works. Well...it'll grow on me. Already started. And so begins a new adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yufster Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I voted DJG. Also, I would like to put forward the suggestion, "Bill Gates Love Shack." Or something related in some way to Bill Gates. Because deep inside, we either love or hate Bill. He's like marmite. And that way, we would have a soul touching theme song too. Plus, we'd have a load more angry threads and complaints! And everybody loves those. I say Bill Gates all the way, or DJG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 Life and How to Live it wins, ya'll can't complain, it was sorted diplomatically (see Gabez, communism only goes so far). This thread has done it's do... Groovy, will you do the honours? (you know, close this thread... yeah, I know you got it, but you know, just in case... hay, don't you look at me like that... no I don't think you're stupid... oh just ckliose the damn thread... yeah, and you too!)

Yufster Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 I protest. I would like this to stay open longer, on the grounds that I like complaining and would like to make further complaints. I only recently realized that DJG's just great, and I demand the Harbor be renamed "DJG" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
