Thinking again about this now, I actually find myself more convinced than ever that we should stick to the name we have. We're already a "specialized" forum and we'll never be able to compete with more generalist portals out there that have a much stronger appeal as generic "warhammer" fora. So, I say we don't try to compete at all and instead focus on the niche this forum occupies.

Sorry I haven't weighed in on this yet, guys. I am not in favor of a name change. This was a place for me to continue my love of 8th when it started and GW was "no longer supporting" the game. It's been that ever since. Now, that GW has realized all the potential that they've been missing out on, I don't think that we should suddenly change course, just because a few people might come here to talk about the new game.
I know I sound like a gatekeeper, but...well, yeah. I'm afraid if we make TOW just as prominent as 8th ed, it'll be taken over by TOW players and 8th ed will become a sub-category and not the main focus. Sure, new members are more than welcome, but if we have to change who we are just to attract them, then it won't be the same community.
I would prefer for us not to change.

I kind of feel the same way. TOW players are more than welcome here as are fans of other editions and games. This is a very welcoming place.
