  The team is on this website. The members are from this website. The team is hosted on this website. The team should use this site's name.

  As I understand it only the team name will change, not the team number (93).
  
  Therefore it makes sense to change the name from Team Short-Media to Team Icrontic (if available).
  
  My two pennies worth :)

  The name change is a foregone conclusion, so no one who supports the idea need worry.

  I chose Team S-M because I feel we need to at least pay a little homage to S-M. Prime, MM, Shorty, Keebs, Kwitco (still sounds like a place to get a Slurpee :bigggrin:), Prof, and anyone else I might have missed, did an amazing job keeping S-M a quality place to hang out on the web. If is wasn't for their hard work and tenacity under the S-M banner, the new Icrontic could have not risen from the ashes.

  Well said! Here here!:cheers3:

  It would add more weight to your statement if you were actually an active member of the team and had managed to turn in a WU or two since January of 2006. Talk is cheap. ;)

  Okay, here's the same statement from someone with a lot of weight behind him (in more ways than one ;) ):
  
  "The team is on this website. The members are from this website. The team is hosted on this website. The team should use this site's name."
  
  I agree with this 100%.

  Team Icrontic - I just like the idea of the site name being the team name... it just makes sense...

  I think it would be nice to keep at least some ties to the Short-Media days, but am under no illusions that it will happen. :(

  There is always the SMx rigs... We can address keeping the SMx project so named, naming a rig after Short-Media, or a Milestone named after the "name Short-Media". ;)

  I think that even if new rigs go back to the ICx naming scheme, the existing SMx rigs will always serve as reminders of our rich history.
  
  Just as I remained proud to host Icrontic_11 after our site became Short-Media, our SMx hosts are surely proud to be representing four of the best years of our history. :thumbsup:

  Both of the last two posts have made some positive suggestions, and are much appreciated. :fold:

  Indeed... It would certainly make me feel better about the name change if the SMx project name stayed the same.

  I agree 100% all SMx rig should keep there current SMx##'s and not be changed just like the past IC rigs kept there names.
  
  I also like the SM reward or milestone.. what number who knows maybe 93,000? lol
  
  Also the SMx project should stay that... The SMx Project

  [/B]

  I kind of like the idea. I do have a couple of thoughts: We have yet to have a 10,000,000 award winner ... maybe a commemorative SM award for that achievement ... :) ... but that may occur under a different name. Perhaps 5,000,000 would be appropriate?
  
  I joined SM- so maybe my vote is more sentimental value right now than anything. (thanks for letting me muse)
  
  And, Prof- it's VERY good to see you around and you've been missed- hope you're OK.

  This all sounds fine and dandy but try to actually do something about this.

  Yet if nothing is said, then nothing is done at all. And I have that feeling about this ...

  Red herring.

  No, valid point.
  
  Why should non-members give a flip what the name is?
  
  You're not the only person who isn't involved with Team 93 to have voted in favor of the name change. That ought to be taken into account.
  
  (But won't be, so don't worry. After the name change you can go back to not giving a hoot about the whole FAH project.)

  I would like the idea of a major milestone being named after Short-Media. I'm thinking 4 million - 1 million for each year of Short-Media. :thumbsup:
  
  At the LAN, any team members are more than welcome to strike up a discussion about the naming. I think the LAN will be the deciding time. Some sort of official vote probably after the LAN and the name change soon after that.
  
  Realize everyone... the people that are team staff are often also site staff. We've been busy with the transition, staff additions/ subtractions, the LAN, and normal life stuff. I, for example, am running the Games at the LAN, taking on the milestones area, and just finish a grad class yesterday. I've been up to my eyeballs with things and trying to grab all the strings attached to a name change has been difficult. Please have patients and the Team Staff will get things done. Cool? :D

  Congratulations, Q! I know you worked hard for that.

  Sorry, that would be practicing without a license.

  Thanks Leo... Still have 4 classes until I'm done with my degree but it's less than 10 months away... not that I'm counting. :D

  That reminds me of the old joke "we'll give him a fair trial and then we'll hang him".
  
  "Foregone conclusion", get it?
