Forum Name
I took the liberty to create a poll about this, even though I'm not a mod, admin or anyone important. Just enthousiastic!
Anyway, what do you think? PCKF, TKF, or something different? I'd quite like the name switch to "The Keen Forum".

I don't know. I like the PCKF, but on the other hand The Keen Forum sounds good too. But I guess, when if it comes down to it, I think I'll prefer PCKF.

I DO like "The" in the title. It makes it sound... definate.
It's THE Commander Keen forum. Not just ANY Commander Keen forum...
It's THE Commander Keen forum.
Oh yeah... as stated elsewhere I would rather it be "Commander Keen" rather than just, "Keen". "Keen" sounds rather informal.
I also still like "Public Commander Keen forum." Both are nice.

I agree with Gal - "The Keen Forum" could be a forum for people who are keen on anything, you really need the full "Commander Keen" in the title so that there's no confusion.

But worse, nobody outside the community knows what pckf stands. Wouldn't it be smart to make this place better to find.Malvineous wrote:I agree with Gal - "The Keen Forum" could be a forum for people who are keen on anything, you really need the full "Commander Keen" in the title so that there's no confusion.
And yuk, really, why is everyone so conservative?
Aaaah, not the bees!

I'm surprised that everyone is against the PCKF acronym. Having a unique acronym is great to avoid confusion - it doesn't matter where you see PCKF, you immediately know what it means.
It also doesn't matter if nobody outside the community knows what PCKF stands for. We don't need to bend over backwards to cater for people who aren't interested in Keen, if they want to know what PCKF stands for they can look it up. It won't make the forum harder to find, because pretty much every page has the text "Commander Keen" on it, so they'll show up in Google and other search engines regardless of what we call the forum.
As to why I'm against something like "The Keen Forum" you need to forget the name "Commander Keen" for a second. The word "keen" has the same meaning as "enthusiastic" right? So pretend for a moment the main character is called Commander Enthusiastic, defender of Earth. If we called the forum "The Enthusiastic Forum" it would just sound like a bunch of people who are really lively, the name is far too ambiguous.
I don't mind a name change, I just think that it needs to be specific, and it needs to have an acronym you can use anywhere without having to explain which meaning you're using.

The reason why I'm for a name change is that this place is to hard to find, it doesn't show up in google. Sure if you're tikking in pckf you'll find this place but who knows that pckf has anything to do with Commander Keen?
PCKF. Instead of a to ambigious name we now have a name that means nothing.

Would the name change affect to searches that much? This has 'Commander Keen' in it as well.
