The Real Forum Name Poll

[fatboy]

OK folks, after a false start, I took the liberty of narrowing down the name choices to 10, as that is what the default setting is, and really, that's plenty. If your choice didn't get in exactly as you put it in, make you case, otherwise, please vote.

If you saw the other polls, and voted previously, PLEASE, re-vote, as I have talked to Jeff, and he is taking the other two confusing polls down, so those votes will NOT count. Please vote again.

Nice job, thank you. Sorry for the confusion. I will not be voting. I want this to be the idea of everyone else

 

[Uncle Bob]

I'm going to give some reasons for not voting for some of the choices.

This forum is made up of many different professions; who are equally responsible for it's success, so;

"Inspector (s)" should not be in the name; and I are one.

"Life Safety" should not be in the name; because it relates to NFPA codes.

"Opinion" should not be in the name; because I am perfect; and my opnions are facts.

Now, I have to decide between the others.

Well...........vote already!

 

[FM William Burns]

We are not just about ANSI, ASTM, UL, ICC, NFPA or legacy groups either but when one boils it down.....it's really about ICC and NFPA codes and standards and all of us who use them, design to and inquire about them ....................hence the recommendation I made.

Vote for #

 

[jar546]

One of the choices is taking a clear lead......................

 

[jpranch]

Ub, lmao!!!

 

[High Desert]

UB, you're are right. I looked up the definition of fact and it said "everything Uncle Bob says." Then I looked up opinion and it said, "everything everyone says except Uncle Bob. Also see definition of fact." :lol:

Bump (for New Posts page)

 

[jar546]

Barring some miracle, I am seeing a winner so far. A bit of a surprise.

 

[fatboy]

Yeah, me too...........

 

[rshuey]

pretty plain....lol

 

[jar546]

Start getting more people to vote. Poor numbers.

 

[TJacobs]

Plain is good and easy to remember.

 

[High Desert]

I like it. You need to be able to pronounce it without sounding like you have a mouth full of marbles.

Here's a couple of companies that have pretty simple names and slogans that didn't do too bad with "plain."

3M: "Innovation"

Canon: "Know How"

Dell Computer: "Get More out of Now"

Intel: "Intel Inside"

Nokia: "Connecting People"

Philips: "Sense and Simplicity"

I KNOW there are plenty of you out there that have an opinion, it's just a vote on a name preference........sheesh.

Come on.......vote!

 

[FM William Burns]

Yea...................

 

[High Desert]

I tried to vote twice but the system wouldn't le.......er, I mean that would be dishonest if I tried to vote more than once.

 

[JBI]

Would've actually preferred 'Building Codes Discussion Group', but that wasn't one of the final 10, so I picked...

 

[FM William Burns]

I've tried to vote using dead relatives old SS numbers

 

[conarb]

Watch out, the next thing that's going to happen is the fire people are going to start paying firemen all over the nation to join the forum and vote.

 

[High Desert]

conarb, shhhh.....don't plant a seed.

 

[Jobsaver]

Would've actually preferred 'Building Codes Discussion Group', but that wasn't one of the final 10, so I picked...

Same here. (sour grapes!)

 

[conarb]

And worse yet,someone may start paying disabled people to sue if ADA isn't in the name.
