Allright guys...as happy as I am with the this board and what you guys have made it, there is one thing that I've never liked about it. The name "The Firehouse" was something I came up with on the spur of the moment and it has never really been, in my opinion, a great name. What suggestions do you have for a new name? Give me your suggestions and we will have a poll in a few days to either pick a new name or keep The Firehouse.

Incinerator? (I got my license plate by the way)
The Pyro's Lair?
Scorched fans?
The Ember Yard?
bascially any variation on fire.

romper room? SLY's toybox?
will have to give this one serious thought for anything legit- though I think LUConn is on the right track. Maybe when our other regular guys come back this fall we'll get more good ideas. (It'll take them til Thanksgiving to get caught up from this summer though)

Will changing the name of the site hurt our positioning on the various search engines?

leave it the way it is.....or get a list of 4 or five names and take a poll on the board!

flamescentral.com
libertysideline.com
or dare I say
thefurnace.com

The poll is coming shortly. But we wanted some input before we limited the options.
Come on, guys. I know you have some ideas.

What about "hell"? Lots of fire there.

Not really consistent with what we are all about though :>P
I thought the idea was to avoid hell.

We'd like to have this settled before all the newbies arrive during football season. So if you have any more ideas, share them now. We'll put a poll up in the next few days.

Last call before the poll. Doesn't seem to be a whole lot of interest in a name change. I guess we'll find out. I'll try to have a poll up by the end of the week.

I like Libertyflamesfans.com or Flamesforum. We could change Sly Fox's name to the Heat Mizer. That one is for us 70's kids.

Seems like the name must be 1) a place, and 2) be identifiable with LU -
I like FlamesForum because it fits, as a forum is a place, and a place of communicative action;
and the Flames - well, that's who we are.
Firehouse is quite distinctive, although a firehouse is a place where they prepare to put out the flames rather than "fan" them.

Or better yet, "the burn ward" We just came from the furnace and now we're all burnt up. and so forth.
