International

Ambitious............

 

[Alias]

Yank and FM Burns suggestions are both excellent; would vote for any of the three.

I like all of three of them better than my suggestion.

Not sure why the use of "International" . .. do you want to be confused with . . .

Simple, I like it. For search engines, the site can be tagged with a bunch of words like "construction" without having that in the title, can't it?

I like this, ^. It has a very professional sound to it. Certainly makes for a good URL, placeholder, and website header.

I like that it affords the opportunity for "the forum" to grow beyond its current form.

I suggest "IABCO Building Code Forum" or "IABCO Building and Life Safety Code Forum"

Since NFPA doesn't have one, I propose the following amendment:Building & Life Safety Codes Forum

PS....it may get some more activity from users of the LSC.

Excellent . . . . . . . . . . .

 

[FM William Burns]

Not opposed to possibly adding "International" to my proposed amendment to expand the potentials for additional membership from abroad since Intl. may also draw more from the cow.......not offended either

 

[jar546]

Yeah, let's skip the International word. I'll save that for a future product........

My 2 cents worth is that we should not limit the name of this group & forum

with "building code officials".....A lot of the people on here are also involved

with the property sites too! ( i.e. - flood plain managers, ...Zoning,

...property maintenance , etc. )

How about the "International Association of Code Officials" [ IACO.com

/ IACrg ]?....By using the ' International ' term, we will have room

for future growth, when Jeff & others travel to the 4 corners of the globe

pimping us and this web site.....FWIW, we will be competing [ more ] with

The Cow too!.....The adage of "Go big or go home" applies here me

thinks!

Your thoughts!

We don't need International in the name.

Building Safety & Code Forum

 

[jar546]

It needs to be short and sweet and all encompassing. It cannot be too long.

Building Codes, Zoning Codes/Laws, Property Maintenance Codes are all associated but finding a single name is difficult. It needs to be assumed that it is all encompassing if we use the always generalized "Building Codes" which applies to everyone such as architects, engineers, contractors, designers and of course inspectors too.

There are also code forums for: computer language codes such as HTML, bio-genetic codes, top secret codes, etc.

We can not assume that the word code means building but we can assume that building codes (pl) is more encompassing of a specific industry.

Just can't seem to explain my thought process but it was close.

Building & Life Safety Codes Forum

Gets my vote..........

 

[jar546]

Let's let this discussion continue through the weekend and someone can volunteer to post a poll of options on Monday and we will wait a few days to see the results. How does that sound?

 

[fatboy]

Sounds like a plan.............think were narrowing it down pretty good.

 

[conarb]

I think it should be "Building Inspectors' Forum", I say this as a non-inspector, even when I link relevant advice on this forum in a contractors' forum I always say something like "Read this on the building inspectors' forum", at other times I'll say something like "Read this on the building inspectors' forum, as you can see even the inspectors can't agree on this matter", contractors fear and feign respect for building inspectors and are more prone to take their advice as information that they are required to follow, as I see it we builders, engineers, and architects are guests in the house of building inspectors here and it should remain that way, ICC connection or not.

 

[Jobsaver]

Interesting note Conarb.

Poll next week sounds like a great plan.

Not being devious like some members here, I didn't think of this excellent idea.

 

[FM William Burns]

hey.......... have to re-think.....PISOFF LMAO

 

[ewenme]

Might we have a "Professional Building and Life Safety Codes Forum"? PBLSCF... not even a double-entendre acronym.
