I just don't like it. It sounds odd. The Mobile Suit's Pilot Bar made sense. It's the bar for pilots. But Anime Patrons bar? Do we drink to anime characters, or something? 1) You said it there, Ai. And you weren't talking about the origin of our first name, you were only talking about how my suggestion seems odd to you. 2)I also want to ask you something about that post too. Are all of us board members people who enjoy watching anime and reading manga? Do we not watch anime other than Gundam? What's there not to understand about The Anime Patrons Bar? It's a bar for people who enjoy anime. 3) I understand that this bar's name originates from being started at G.com, though is that all we are? MS Pilots? What about Orbital Frame Runners? The Final Fantasy players? The Veritech pilots? There's a whole world of anime that is discussed here, Ai. 4) I don't understand why you're talking about "drinking to anime characters" or "the Mecha RPing." We have all those things now, Ai. We're not gonna lose them if the name changes.

And thus Mecha Pilot's Bar would have been a good choice. Any and all Mecha pilots could and would feel welcome: MS Pilots, Gundam Pilots, Veritech Pilots, Ravens, Captains, and the sort.

*smacks Mikkie.*
Remember thou art mortal, lunkhead.
*sighs.*
Look, Aries is not going to change tradition for nothing. The Group Photo (yes, Aries is STILL obsessing over it.) is The Neo-Mobile Suit Pilots' Bar Group Photo. Aries REFERS to this stuff as MSPB. Aries's internet existance revolves around the MSPB. Aries is not calling jack shit the APB, but could get by with MSPBZ.
Aries means, look at the bloody URL! MSPB.proboards22.com!
Now, we can't change that, so why don't we make it look like it has something to do with something?
Granted, 'neo' didn't make it in, but neo, zeta, it's all Greeky goodness.
Like gyros. Gyros are goooooood.
We shoulda called it the MSPB-Gyro.

No, the MSPBZ is not tacky, Mikaru. You're just being sensitive because it's your name that I critisized. But I'm sorry to say, but The MSPB is just too classic to let go.
It's winning anyway, so yeah.

I agree with Mikaru, it IS tacky. All it is is the same name as Mav's board...only with "Zeta" tacked on the end! That's NOT new name...that's a lame attempt at staying the same while feigning originality (no offense ) If we really want a new name, it should be something different. I think either "Anime Patrons Bar" or "Mecha Pilots Bar" would be much better choices than "(New/Neo) Mobile Suit Pilots Bar (Zeta)". I know you guys liked the old name...but this is NOT the same forum. We can't keep the name.

The MSPB was created at Gundam.com when there were no one but MS Pilots, AX location came about for those who wanted it back, and the original MB was for those who were kicked off AX, and G.com. I think that it should be changed now, due to the ever building number of other pilots.

It's winning anyway, so yeah. Can't argue with the decision of the whole, but I totally disagree with your statement, Cyg. Like PK and RX, I agree that tacking on the word 'Zeta' is just plain tacky. It's a cheap way to create a new name, much like 'Neo MSPB' was. If you want a new name, you go the distance and change the rest. So don't be calling RX down on being 'sensitive', because a number of us actually do have valid reasons, and actually agree with his sentiments. Now, regardless of my thoughts, PK's thoughts, RX's thoughts, and whoever voted for the APB name, I also submit to the fact at the end of the day, it is the majority ruling that will determine what it gets named, and that is all fine by me. If you personally think the name is bad, fine. We will all accept the whatever name comes when the voting ends. But please don't be jabbing the guy for so-called 'sensitivity', because THAT is tacky.

I believe that you were the one yelling at me for not wanting to change for certain members. I believe that you should drop the tacky Zeta, it's not a damned anime.
Hell, what else will there be? ZZ MSPB? MSPB SEED? Turn A MSPB? Cyg, the idea of MSPB Zeta is stupid, and tacky, all you're doing is taking the original name, and butchering it.

Interviewer: "So...what about 'Under Pressure' ?"
Ice: "Ohhhohohoooo snap. Naw dawg, you see their's went 'Dingding ding dding ding...ding ding dingding dding ding.' But mine is 'Dingding ding dding ding...dding ding dingding dding ding'!!! It's totally different!
Interviewer: "So what you're saying is..."
Ice: "Look...theirs was MSPB, but mine is MSPBZ. They're close, but it's different!"

*sigh*
Guys, there's no need to debate this endlessly about a NAME. If you don't like it, don't vote for it. There's no need to take up space trying to convince people to change their minds over something like this.
And as for the urls, that doesn't really matter at all, hell the old bar has 'prowl' for the url, afterall.

Ultimately, this is a democratic vote and I'll go under whichever name is chosen by the majority. I'd rather it be APB, but if MSPBZ wins, then so be it. I'm not gonna have an aneurysm over it. ^^
