BuXb Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 I really do not agree at all with the new planned name for the forums, "Insanely Mac". Insane is a really negative word, and "nomen est omen". Neither do I consider myself insane at all, and I don't really think that people in general like to be associated with anything insane. I think the new name should start with what these forums are all about in the first place: with Mac. Sanity is fine (that's the positive one), that makes: --> !! MacSanity.org !! <-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

munky Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Insanely Mac is a play on the original phrase Steve Jobs came up with to describe the Mac: Insanely Great. I hope this makes it clearer for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuXb Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well yeah that explains the name up to a certain point, but that approach might be too intellectual, in other words: most people do not know of that context .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swad Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 BugsBunny - Thanks for the comments. We asked several people about the new name and got a lot of good reception on it. We like it for several reasons: 1. It's fun. 2. It has a high geek factor, due to the original "Insanely Great Mac" phrase 3. It represents what we do on the forum - look at the world a little differently. I appreciate the fact that you're not crazy about it - we tried to go with one that most people would like, even though we knew we couldn't please everyone. Macsanity is a good name, too. Give insanelymac a chance - I bet it'll grow on ya. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
