The problem here is that if/when IMDB finds out they may go straight to our forum host and simply have the forum deleted. It would be best to change the name to something that's a play on IMDB so that any stragglers will know what it is. Besides, it would be best to change the name to something that´s a play on IMDb to piss them off!

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.

Ditch the initials from the old site; go with International Message & Discussion Boards

If the URL doesn't have to change, then just call it the Internet Movie Discussion Boards (IMDB). The acronym works and it's different than what the other (dumb) IMDb stands for.

Yes, change it now - I've seen places shut down without even a chance to correct the error before, so waiting is really not a great idea IMO.
Not sure about name change - but it shouldn't contain IMDB, nor should it be something so far off people can't find it.

I think that once IMDb goes down, nobody's going to be able to find this board in order to quibble about the name. So if you can make it until Feb 20th with this name, you're probably in the clear. But what's in a name anyway.

Suggestion: Maybe create a backup board (called something else) and post it here so that people will know what to migrate to in the event that IMDb takes all the fun away and has this place immediately shut down.
I'd even be willing to do it if the Admin doesn't want to.

It's not the only misspelling on this website.
But don't worry, they're just teething problems.
Everything will get fixed or sorted out... Eventually.

How about just calling this place Version 2.0?
Let everyone decide for themselves what it is version 2 of...

What else did I misspell?

BIOGRAPHY. You missed out on the "P".
There's also another one, but I'm having trouble finding it again.
I know what you mean about being a bit OCD...
