[11:54] <UncleSam> yo
[11:54] <UncleSam> im not sure why no one has thought of this before
[11:54] <UncleSam> but we should change the title of circus maximus to something that would actually turn up on a google search
[11:54] <UncleSam> for someone looking to play online mafia
[11:55] <UncleSam> it could be something as mundane as 'online competitive mafia forum'
[11:55] <UncleSam> and frankly i dont give a shit if people think the name isnt 'cool' if suddenly people who want to play mafia start showing up on the site
[11:59] <UncleSam> lightwolf agrees with me
[11:59] <UncleSam> and given how frequently that happens
[11:59] <UncleSam> you know this must be a good idea
[11:59] <UncleSam> how infrequently*
[11:59] <UncleSam> though i guess frequently could work as well
[12:05] <iDLE> both refer to the frequency so both grammatically work
[12:05] <iDLE> and im in agreement
[12:06] <UncleSam> who can change
[12:06] <UncleSam> a forum title
[12:06] <iDLE> no idea
[12:06] <iDLE> probably an admin
[12:06] <UncleSam> k well
[12:06] <UncleSam> we should probably come up with
[12:06] <UncleSam> a good name
[12:06] <UncleSam> ill start an osi topic
[12:06] <iDLE> ya and then we can nag mekkah or something
[12:06] <UncleSam> asking for suggestions and opinions

So basically I (and DLE and LW agree with me) think that changing the name of this forum to something more descriptive would be a lot more likely to attract newer users who are looking to play mafia (and it would help people on other parts of the site identify what this forum is about to boot). I think we can all agree that if people googling 'play mafia competitively online' were redirected to this forum it would be a big plus (obviously that isn't likely to happen, but being somewhere in the search result couldn't hurt).
So basically this thread is a marketing thread for Circus Maximus, with the principle questions to be answered being:
1. Do you agree that Circus could use a new name? If not, why not?
2. What should this new name be?
My first suggestion for a new name was 'Online Competitive Mafia Forum' in an attempt to be as descriptive as possible, but it obviously lacks much tact or aesthetic appeal that frankly I think this forum and community count as a huge advantage over most other online ones. I'm sure there are better ones, and feel free to discuss the merits of those names as well.
Finally, if anyone knows exactly who can alter the name of a forum, that would be valuable information as well.
