Namaste,
I am wondering if anyone thinks that we should change the name of the forums to something else. Any suggestions?

How about a female name... such as 'Sanathani'...?
I think old magazine names from the Indian Independence times would work too..

If we wished to change the name , what would be our intent ? This is, what would we wish to capture in a word? That is, the branding and what it stands for. And what do we think may be missing today ?
Some ideas on framing the site:
It seems before we name it, we may wish to decide what we want it to be , like a personality.
- a multi-faceted knowledge-based site ?
- a site regarding ancient knowledge ?
- customs and traditions ?
- sanātana dharma (hindu-centric) site ?
- just a 'refresh' for something new ?
- a repository of ideas and commentary ?

Jai Shree Krishna
Rig Veda list only 33 devas, they are all propitiated, worthy off our worship, all other names of gods are derivative from this 33 originals,
Bhagvat Gita; Shree Krishna says Chapter 3.11 devan bhavayatanena te deva bhavayantu vah parasparam bhavayantah sreyah param avapsyatha Chapter 17.4 yajante sattvika devan yaksa-raksamsi rajasah pretan bhuta-ganams canye yajante tamasa janah
The world disappears in him. He is the peaceful, the good, the one without a second.

Love and best wishes:hug:
I think the word 'Hindu' is causing interest at the same time problems as well..may be we should use something on the lines of 'Sanatana' like 'Sanatana Dharma'

"DharmaForum" or "DharmaForums" would be better, I guess. If one wants to mean "more", certainly, then one must speak "less".
Things to remember:
1. Life = yajña
2. Depth of Āstika knowledge is directly proportional
to the richness of Sanskrit it is written in
3. Ä€stika = BhÄrata ("east") / Ä€rya ("west")
4. Varṇa = tripartite division of Vedic polity
5. r = c. x²
where,
r = realisation
constant c = intelligence
variable x = bhakti
Namaste satay,
I must admit I am curious as to what prompted the idea..
in any case, I see changing the name causing more difficulties
than it would be worth.
(The American pop artist Prince certainly didn't find his brief
name-change to be particularly beneficial.)

Namaste,
Nope.
A different suggestion:
If someone needs something fresh it may be a fresh banner or a complete layout overhaul.
Is it time to upgrade vbulletin. If it's too costly, there is an upcoming IP Board. There are free ones. FOSS alternatives are myBB (easier to setup with extensive admin panel) or popular phpBB, which is difficult to setup.
Just upgrading would give a fresh look. New skin, new themes + your own tweeks. Don't know what will happen to points
Is there any financial problem that is stopping the upgrade say to a VPN server, or upgrading ever getting costly vbulletien?
btw, please can you tell us what's going in your mind that is making you to think the name?

Silence is the study of the scruptures. Meditation is the continuous thinking of Brahman which is to be meditated upon. The complete negation of both by knowledge is the vision of truth – sadAcAra-14 of Adi SankarAcArya
