2123213, Kind of sums of my thoughts
Posted by ShawndmeSlanted, Thu Jan-31-13 01:56 PM
I dont want to make us come across as angry sports guys...I think if not the name base, I think a name that comes across as more universal is key. I mean I do realize at the end of teh day ppl dont care much about the names--so much they do community and content...see deadspin, grantland, kissing suzy kolber, reddit. But I want to think about reaching beyond this board--cause obviously we already have this board here on lock.

Ill check the music snobs
