Re: Name?
The problem of association does not exist with the logo.
Guido might fight back on that, but guido, do you remember GSO logo?
it's the metro logo, it's not ours anyway, there is no reason to totally change it

Micronational Network Hub - MNH
Simple and combines elements of both the old communities. I think including Micras puts a bias towards the MCS into the mix, which should be avoided since we want to embrace the whole community, not just MCS members.

Re: Name?
It's biased because the name Micras is the name of the planet that the MCS uses, and everything else is derivative of that. People associate the two together. We need to get rid of that association by adopting a name that doesn't scream "We want everyone except people who don't join the MCS!" which is exactly what the name Micras evokes in people's thoughts. Micras is not all of micronationalism, it is a small part of it, and therefore doesn't belong in a name that is supposed to be embracing of the entire Anglophone sector.

Re: Name?
If you're asking me about that image Cairney posted, I think it looks very sleek and professional. However, as Ryan says, it would be inappropriate for this new community hub thing to be in name based around the MCS. I have no problem with it practically being based around the MCS, but we must at the very least show some some outward indication of a separation from the map and the community hub thing.Artz wrote:What don't people like about it? Guido, Vilhelm?
And if someone is about to suggest that "Micras" could become a label for this community separate from the map... it won't, because Micras is the name of the bloomin' planet, and that ain't gonna change I don't think.

Re: Name?
Who is 'people' other than those that frequented this board in the first place.People associate the two together.
Maybe not.. but as a slightly less related point.. these /are/ the MCS boards that are being hacked up and turned into my little pony. Surely they deserve a hint of their origional self within the boards, rather than casting the past into some sub-board that will get ignored to all but those who want maps.Micras is not all of micronationalism
