Okay, do we want TOBY, TOWEL, or TBTSNBN? I'm giving the poll one month, 30 days. Feel free to make your arguments here, but let's agree to be bound by whatever the poll decides. If I got TBTSNBN wrong, feel free to correct it but go ahead and vote for that one if it's what you want. ;)

I voted TOBY, only because I've used it before, only I added an "E" for some forgotten reason. One thing's for certain. Whichever way I vote, that one will not be the winner. L-)

PS. That's a reason for using an avatar of the Silly Party candidate, who received no votes. Again--- L-)

I'm throwing my support behind TOWEL.

I'm not a huge fan of TOBY (mostly for the "yo" - I have a thing against gratuitous words added to acronyms, and I just don't like "yo" in general.)

And TBTSNBM or TSTMNBN or whatever that other acronym is just too hard.

Plus, there's something about Towels and crazies that just feels right, ya know? ;)

I don't like it either, mostly for the same reasons (and I really dislike the term 'yo'.

And it has that whole Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy connection going for it.

You know, I started with TOB for That Other Board, and I basically added the Y to make it a name so it'd be easier to remember, not to mention making it sound a little goofier. Aw, well, I win none, I lose all.

I've always wondered what his moniker is about. It's an adjective, but WHAT does it describe?

TBTSNBN

I'll byte! I am thinking first your spelling of the acronym is incorrect, but I believe you are pointing everyone to TBTSNBN "The Board That Shall Not Be NAMED!" to check out the E.D. afflicted drug user, baseball player! Am I close?

True dat! If I wrote "did you see the post on kumquat?" or "there is a mod meltdown on kumquat" everyone would know what I meant.
