I agree with Meryl. I like the idea of keeping the imdb reference in the title because imdb is the common origin for most BetterMostians, not only the last wave of refugees; and naturally because those threads were first posted on imdb.

Additionally I think these two (IMDb Remarkable Writings Rewound and IMDb Remarkable Writings Revisited) are the most descriptive and clear of all suggestions. You read it and you know right away what this forum is about.

Third, I don't like the idea of naming a forum after a person, respectively after one person's screenname. Don't get me wrong: Bruce is the one who did all the work, and it is a big labour of love that he did, and I do appreciate it. But the threads in it and all the wonderful thoughts this forum contains are not all Bruce's doing. So I think it would not do justice to all the contributers of those threads to name it Oracle's whatever.

I don't like "Roundup" because that's already the name of our Social Forum's newsletter.

I also agree with Meryl, that many of those names could just as easily fit for our Open Forum.

I like both suggestions with imdb in it, but voted for 'rewound', not 'revisited' because it rings a bit nicer to my ears. But that's just a minor difference as far as I'm concerned.

I was thinking more along the lines of High Altitude Thoughts: IMDb Revisited/Rewound because i like what someone else said about High Altitude Thoughts sounding like High Altitude F**ks, but to still keep some part of IMDb to recognize the fact that this is where all these great threads originated from.

 ;) ;) just my humble opinion ;) ;)

My vote goes to High Altitude Thoughts: IMDb Revisited.

Or High Altitude Haunts: IMDb Revisited.

I voted for Shrine of the Oracle as that name was similar to a poster on the old IMDB.com BBM board. 

I agree with Meryl that IMDB.com should be in the name.   Right offhand, I  can't think of anything ethereal that coincides with IMDB.com.  "Shades of IMDB.com," how does that sound? Probably too vague.  :)

I like Meryl's suggestion, "IMDb Remarkable Threads Rewound."  Or maybe a shorter synonym in place of "remarkable."  But definitely the 3 other words, "IMDb" for reasons others have mentioned, "threads rewound" because "threads" is catchier and more succinct than "writings" and, I know my brain is weird, but -- you can wind thread.

"IMDb Fine Threads Rewound"??

I agree about not naming it for the Oracle, mostly because there are HUNDREDS of threads worth transferring and it would suck to discourage folks from pitching in on that ginormous undertaking -- or from continuing to discuss, post-transfer -- if it seems to them like a shrine.

(Hiya, Oracle.  Luv ya to bits, Bud.  I haven't pitched in much yet, but I'll keep trying.)

Many threads have other Brokie's names in them, but a lot of different people post in them. I know this is a whole forum, but if it was named after someone, it wouldn't bother me to still post in it. That's just me, tho.
