I braved the journey. It sure wasn't what I thought it was going to be!

I'm having difficulty believing what I'm reading!
I had no idea what GDT stood for. I do know what ex-pats means, and I choose to live inside the US. And I came here anyway. Why? Because someone invited the WW message board Spiritual Space to reside here.
If the name gets changed to something that has nothing to do with what I'm interested in, I'm outta here pronto.
Sexuality? Sorry, that's my business and there's no way I'm gonna look at a board with a name that evokes any sexual innuendo. I don't care if the word is anatomically correct or slang.
Get a life!

Um, Gail? Life would be a lot easier for you if you learned how to distinguish when people are joking. Our admins are classy.
Bless your heart.

I think that "ex-pats" isn't necessary any longer. "Generaldailythread" would be fine with me. Holly and I are on a different thread together, and I know that she is a wonderful person. I think that it's possible she didn't see the original posts that the new name suggestions that have sexual references were alluding to.
I agree that "WW" or "Weight Watchers" should be left out of the new name for the board.
At any rate, I'm sure that this group can come up with something good.

hollygail I was the one who invited you here. We are all joking around, as we do. But if you find that the name no longer suits you (it won't be raunchy, I work in an elementary school), you are welcome to find a better space. I think some of the other boards found a Proboards site at wwmessageboards or something like that.

Some combination of angry lawyers, fat people, and porn addicts. Isn't that the group we have now?

The US GDT sounds good. I would skip any reference to Weight Watchers since (made up statistic alert!) there are probably .02% of us who are on, much less talk about, WW here.

When I'm at home tonight I'll gather the more agreed upon suggestions plus ones others suggested and revise this or maybe even replace it.

I got nothin' (and haven't read the thread yet) but if a new name will help new people or lost oldies find us, go for it. Otherwise I don't see the point.

I worry weight watchers will being us some legal trouble. WW might be OK, though. I absolutely wouldn't put WW or weight watchers in the name, they get free advertising. Screw them.

I didn't read through all 5 pages, but I've always wondered what the EXPATS was for.

We have a significant portion of 50+ lbs to lose participants who are doing WW in some form. We have never been 100% WW so this is not a change. However, our participants in the past, that we would like to find us knew us through WW. New members, it doesn't matter so much. They can come from anywhere. But it's the oldies that I'd hope to find a way back. Not sure they'd find us without some reference (at least in the description) to WW. I know our 50+ board is just a small portion of the whole board and that not many from our group have expressed any opinion. I will encourage them to voice an opinion if it makes any difference to them. (Maybe it's just me that feels this way.)

lindasb12 This is why I made it an Announcement, I definitely wanted everyone's feedback, so thanks. I think that the majority of the GDT folks do not want WW or weight loss in the title, but we can try to put it in the tags so that it comes up when you Google.
