Alright, here's the rundown.
I personally think we need to change the name here, but I'm not gonna run off and do it on my own, I want to see what you guys think. Should we keep the 'backup' name of New MSPB or should we change it to something else?
If you have any ideas for a new name, feel free to post them, but try to keep it serious.

This is the real bar. Mav never posted, so it's not his. And it's not like he has any legal right to the name.
We're the people who make the bar happen, not Mav or his long lost buddies who don't care anymore.

I said no. Why...?
Because we're not some new bar. We ARE THE BAR. Screw the new. See our Sig image? Use that.

New MSPB, Neo MSPB...
We have changed, we have evolved. We're not the same, so we shouldn't have the same name.

Names carry significance. It's a counterbalance.
On the one hand, the name of the MSPB carries fond memories. It's meaningful and important. You've invested a good deal of your time and yourselves in the community; you even as a group collectively did the extreme in order to save it and keep it going.
On the other hand, it is a renewal. You've forced the place to shed it's skin, and it likely never will be quite the same. New feelings, new attitudes, and a new sense of having to build it from the ground up. It's been a few days, but there's already effort enough here.
I haven't made a vote, because it's not my place to do so. I was a wraith since the day the Gundamproject community died at Botswana's Gundamwatch board. Think it over, bar-crowd.

The MSPB was someone else's idea. Even though that person has no legal rights to it, do you feel right using the name?
Some people just feel this is a slap in the face.
There's no need to copy someone else's name. At least come up with something original.

The thing is Ellis, Mav may have created the Bar long ago, but it is no longer in his hands. His creation is not only his own, but it is the people who form it's.

And Mav, don't complain to us that your own idea has rebelled against you. Just because you fostered the idea of a Pilots Bar doesn't mean that it shall always be yours. The people, the beings that actually FORM the Bar have majorly left you. They are the Bar, not some thought that you had. Most of the Bar wasn't even made by you, but by members themselves.

So, what? You have a glitchy Board. I have a board that isn't and has only been glitchy when a forum decides to act up, or it's one of the staff goofing off.

Yes, I know it does not, but servers such as 22 are planned to be upgraded by Proboards soon.
