Several members have expressed concern regarding the name of this board. IMDb's Conditions of Use states the following: Despite the fact that this board is not for profit of any kind, I think perhaps the name should be changed to preclude any possible legal issues that may arise. What do you guys think? Should it be changed, and if so, what do you suggest? Bear in mind that changing the name of the site will not change the URL.

I do think it should be changed although I'm not exactly good on coming up with good ones. It's not a big issue right now but when the site officially kicks off then yeah something else would be more suitable.

I voted not yet, but it's definitely a good idea if problems arise. My only question would be how to access the site, I would like to be notified in advance of a new name.

Yes, it's better to change the name. It'd be nice if the new name references some cool film. We all can dig into our favorite films for inspiration. The name of a place or a room or a club in some film...

I say fk'em. Change the name to not hassle with even the thought of lawyer scum later on.
Suggestions? Something short and quick, easy to remember and which THEY can't attack legally. Any lawyer scum here who may help?
Let's see...
FDB -- Films DB mmb2 -- movie message boards 2 fmb2 -- films message boards 2 (I think lawyers would successfully attack the 'eye-em-dee-bee' options)
TNMB -- the new movie boards
...
and let's not forget the oldie but goodie FKEM2, just to make a point (I particularly like this name).
Best,

Yeah, I was concerned about the name of this forum since day one, due to legal reasons. I say change it, but do it later on in the month. Because I think the name is attracting people.

I would wait until a lot of regulars migrate here. Then maybe March 1st, we could hold a week long suggestion. After a week, we could all vote on the suggestions. Whatever name gets the most votes the board's name changes.
