I’m torn. On one hand I love this forum as a bastion of 8th and I love that edition, but I also know that a number of players take umbrage at the name (though they tend to be big fans of other editions). Part of it is the assumption that this forum (or users) wouldn’t play or like other editions and would be quite diehard about it. That thought is derived purely from the name (as who wouldn’t love us once they knew us 😁). As such, if we are looking to expand users and attract some of the new and returning players (who could indeed be an older type and favour forums over the reskinned WhatsApp called discord…) then changing the name would definitely make it more attractive to other edition players old and new. I suppose another question might be, do we want to make this a catch all forum for multiple editions? I also don’t think there is an overwhelming rush on this.

Keep it the same. The abundance of WFB8 source material found here is extremely useful. Changing the name will effectively remove you from any search engines. If eighth was good enough since 2010, stick with it. I play 3rd - 8th and I search for info based on the edition. Players running the orphaned armies may just stick with 8th. Just my two-cents... ---------Glad to see you alive and still bashing 'eads morhog ! And well said. I am! I'm patiently awaiting my TOW pre-order, but I'm preparing to continue to play 8th as GW has orphaned many of my armies... I just completed a kit-bashed Bret pegasus BSB and 6 KotR! I got my hands on a large Bret army a while back and have been retouching it for a while. I like that you have added a dedicated TOW forum. I like the separation and access at the same time!

I've been considering simply:
"The Warhammer Fantasy For Life (WFFL) Forum"
Any thoughts?

I like it. Do we pronounce it "waffle"?

“Wuffle”?
Just has pleasing echoes of Nuffle in Bloodbowl (which is a play on NFL ofc)
And “Nuff said” which IRRC is how Stan Lee signed off the replies to letters in the second hand Spider-Man comics I had when I was a kid. I could never figure out who Nuff was ;-)

I've been considering simply: "The Warhammer Fantasy For Life (WFFL) Forum" Any thoughts? I like the sound of that, as of course even before TOW we catered for all Editions of Fantasy, as non-8th content was encouraged to be posted in the Other-Than-Eighth section.

I understand the need to rename the forum. I haven't been on much, but it is kind of sad to see the name go.

If you call it the WFFL Forum, GW will likely shut it down.

It's their brand - and it's happened before.

I reckon you can go for it and change it if and when requested (probs won't happen)
