Let's settle the name of the other board once and for all...
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.

Re: Let's settle the name of the other board once and for all...
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'.DevilAlumna wrote:

Re: Let's settle the name of the other board once and for all...
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?Lavabe wrote:I believe earlier we discussed who would be forever known as Crazy Towel Mod.windsor wrote:and we can call it "Crazy Towel Board"

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?
