And a new coat of paint would be nice for the site, something that doesn't look like its from the 90s.
Ugh. Please do not change the site look. 90s BBC forums have a soft spot with me.

Tak,

I'm with you bro... 90s is when rock died so retain the 90s look. I mean, we are back to vinyl so what the hell is wrong with nostalgia anyway?

Well, looks like I can't confess my butt buddy crushes and secrets openly anymore.

I'd conversely rather not live in huge inefficient "pretty" layouts like Head-Fag and the abomination that is the new headroom website

every BBC forum I've ever used has been stupid responsive compared to anything more modern

Tak, in all seriousness see the earlier posts about the CS archives being preserved and online as read-only.  I'm sure that specific important and current threads could be ported.

What about something like Personal Audio? Tyll has used this term and while it might not be sexy I think it's wide coverage (phones and amps but also DAC and IEMs and Bluetooth stuff) and neutrality would work TOWARDS the stated goal of leaving some of the old baggage and reputation behind.  The name would make sense to people and they will click the link.  We can keep our style of doing things on the board but make people actually want to come check out the site instead of Merv anything- do you really think this place needs any more fodder for people to claim it's a cult of personality around Marv?

What is Merv :

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merv_%28disambiguation%29

I vote for "Minimum efficiency reporting value". That's more scienty for a measurement & review website.

We could also take a page from Jexby's thread, and use CCCP for Clandestine Changstar Committee of Pyrates. CCCP.org seems available.
