I new it, trying to escape the public spotlight. Well, now that you are famous, you are also a rolemodel and your actions will impact millions of people for generations to come. It's just like today's media darlings to try to evade their responsibilities. What will I tell my gaming group? What will I tell my children? What will I tell my dog? Please, think about the NPCs...the poor NPCs (sob)...how will they go on..choke...er..without you (I think I am ok now).

What? Me Worry?
Even with a name change for the site, the name of the awards wouldn't have to change. The ENnies has its own name recognition by now, I think, and I doubt anyone would get all confused about why they have that name. Take the Oscars for example - the name has nothing to do with the organization giving out the awards.

name change?
while i am not either for or against a name change, it seems to me that in a community as small and tight knit as the d20 one, any name change wil be rolled with and forgotten in 2-6 weeks.
leomunds secure server?
mordenkainens misc. ?
bigbys grasp of d20?
how about a suggestion- i know this is everyones favotrite site, but how about letting morrus and the "gang" know what other sites y'all like, thereby allowing him to view all the possibilities. after throwing out anything that reeks of hours of fancy code writing there would be a remaining pile of 'flavor' fromwhich to base his efforts.
i, personally, think several large dice on the front page representing the various sections would be cool- a d20 takes you too reviews, a d6 goes to forums and a d10 for news....yada yada. maybe a cool "rolling dice" sound when you clicked on one.
but lets face facts, poor design, bad graphics and all traffic buttons being labeled "i smell like camel feet" and this would still be THE site..... it's the mood, dude

this is the only gaming site i frequent. the only other site i go to regularly is theonion.com. other then that, i just share files with winmx and check my e-mail unless there is something specific i am looking for.
as long as i was told about the name change, i would probably still come here. as for a completley redesigned look, unless it was horribly irritating (text and background similar colours or some such gaffe) i'd still be here.

Re: Re: Re: Whatever you do,
No, more likely the Hassles
I think Morrus is quite within his rights to change the name if he wants, especially given Mr. Noah's blessing. While I think having the history there and plain is a good thing, and the name recognition is valuable, I don't think a name change will kill anything in the long run.
Depending on what you're planning to change it to, you might consider some form of transition stage. When big corporations change names, they tend to go through a period when they display both the new and the old names, to help transfer the name recognition.
If you really do want a change the, "3rd Edition News/3EN" has the benefit of keeping some aspect of the current name, which is nice.
