Adding more choices as they were suggested after the poll's creation. This poll is because there are two choices in a two-way tie. This will give people a chance to vote again plus suggest more.

I chose The Force United.
though I feel that the one most up will win, I chose what IMO is a good one.

I chose Universal Order of Force Practitioners. I realize UOFP also has its problems. A note with the name practitioners. Jedi Archivist Kethrim, I understand your point. Unfortunately, no name is perfect & some may feel left out no matter how precise we are with wording. So you have a good point, I just don't know what to do about it. lol
-Seti
p.s. The only problem I see with The Force United is that its so close to the old name. Personally, I'd like to get as far away from the old name as possible. But thats just a personal opinion.

I do hope the name is different from the old name. I like Friends of the Force because it is less formal and a bit more inviting. It may make new folks who google it feel less shy about trying it out.

I chose Friends of the Force because it implies a friendly warm site and it might make the ones who only wish to cause fights to pass it by. My second choice is; Universal Order of Force practitioners. The advantages of both of these two names(my first choice and my second choice) is that they sound more differant than FFU. The other choices sound too close to the name we currently have.

UOFP is fine for me as well. I like it's feel of a academy with a big library with lots of usefull stuff in it. a library not meant for everyones eyes .  if it's gonna be stalemate again I ask my vote to be counted for UOFP The Force United, I like the impersonal feel of it. |

I do like The Force United; however, I am quite hesitant to vote for a name whose initials are FU.
Force Adepts United is okay, yet again, it brings up my point about how not all are adepts.
Names are important- they shape a group as surely as the group shapes the name.
I'm going to have to think about this more before I cast my vote.

a name whose initials are FU. I hope we all try to think of what is the best name for the best future of this site and not be affected with our feelings about its former owner (which, I know is running a tad hot lately). There will be a time when that is all behind us, and we are just getting on with the original reasons for an interest in all things Force. When thinking of a name, it is best to look into the future. What sort of hangout do we want this to be? |

Agreed. I just think friend of the force might be a little too informal. Sounds almost like a weird off branch of the justice league.

What sort of hangout do we want this to be? Not thinking about "its former owner". Thinking about the sweariness factor. Think about it the next time someone asks you what site you're reading and you tell them "FU". |

Ok here is one which is true and not cute but to the point. Allied With the Force AWF or Force Allies FA Maybe something like One With the Force OWF or International Force Alliance IFA. If we stick with the current poll Friends of the Force is my pic.

If we're still tied I'll do a third poll and add that choice to it to see if it'll make any difference.
I think the problem is that a name hasn't "hit" many of us. Perhaps we're trying too soon instead of waiting for the Force to guide us to the right one?

I'd suggest for a new poll Force Study Center - FSC Force Compendium Institute - FCI United Force Compendium - UFC Force Compendium Force Compendium Keepers - FCK (  wrong word combination here) Force Compendium (insert academilicious name here) Force Gathering International - FGI Keepers of Force Archive - KFA Keepers ... and last United Force Organization - UFO Force Bowers International - FBI Force Academics Haven - FAH Force Academic Revelation Team - FART hahaha*pause of laughing*... just joking with these four. feel free to invent and pick from here whatever seems fine.(except these four and one above, ok) |
