Subject: Vote on the new board name!
Written By: ChuckyG on 02/13/08 at 9:35 pm
We're going to start a new board for old grey threads in the PPP. Anything over 6 months old, still active with more than a dozen replies a week are going to be moved to a special board to allow new threads in the PPP to flourish and allow the regulars to continue to hang out in their favorite old threads.
I prefer something with all W's or a walrus theme, so that it would mimic the Playful Penguin Place alliteration, since we tend to just refer to it by it's initials anyways. I however included almost everything that was suggested anyways.
You can change your vote at any time. So if it gets near the end, and no one is voting for your favorite choice, you can change to something else to help boost the score of a second favorite. Think of it as a primitive version of a run-off election.
This is an exhibition, not a competition, please folks - no wagering

If it was WWW, it would get confused with the World Wide Web
I picked 'The Writing on the Walrus' ..
a) because I came up with it :D
b) It's catchy
c) It can be abbreviated to WoW

I don't want to be a walrus... I'm a rebel so I went with the long and winding board... but WoW was a close second choice for me.

P-pick up a Penguin — a lovely big Penguin,
When you pick up a P-P-P-Penguin there’s so much more to enjoy!
It’s bigger, so delicious, chocolate flavour through and through,
When you feel a little p-peckish, what’s bigger and best for you?
A P-P-P-Penguin!

The Writing On The Walrus just sounds good to me
Chucky G's Wide World Of Walrus was my 2nd choice and
The Long And Winding Board was my 3rd choice.
so am I the Super Delegate here and my vote pretty much decides it? 8)

I am STILL torn. I like Long And Winding Board, Long Winded Penguins & Chucky G's Wide World of Walruses. So, I have narrowed it down to 3 but I can't chose which one. I will think on it some more and give you my "final answer" in another day or two (hopefully, before the voting ends :-\\ )

Well, if I may attempt to charm you and persuade your answer:
While "The Long & Winding Board" and "Long Winded Penguins" are nicer titles, they don't quite have the charm of "Chucky G's Wide World Of Walrus".
Coupled with the fact that this clever title honors the Founder- Chucky G, and the fact that it is an underdog of sorts (and we know everyone loves the underdog), I believe that this title is the best choice!
*End of shameless plug*

But you see, the other two titles sort of describe what the board is going to be. While the other one-cleaver title that it is-and it does invoke the name of our "fearless leader", doesn't really tell anyone what the board is about. I'm sure you see my dilemma here.

Cat- that is the beauty part of it.

You still have time to change your vote. Currently the most popular entry doesn't have a 50% victory of votes... so if everyone else got together they could stage an upset.

Which is why I suggested tacking it to the beginning of the most popular choice. Don't see how it loses its charm. :-\\
Ultimately though, it doesn't really matter what it's called. Can't see how the name will impact a great deal on guest/newbie/stalwarts visiting the new area of the board .... :-X

Yes in any case, as I've recently discovered, it IS now all academic .....
We now have a new board on inthe00s.com called "The Writing on the Walrus". It is a sub-board of Playful Penguin Place and can be found here:
http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?board=43.0
Due to the number of threads that the moderators are moving from PPP to the new board, we are not posting the standard "Moved: ..." notices. If you can't find your favorite threads in PPP, you should be able to find them on "The Writing on the Walrus"!
