Meh, I guess it could come off as pompous but any change to the title now won't feel as good.
The only change I can think of is either a lowercase real(doesn't sound as sneering) or for energy we could go "Eight Edition Eternal!"
Just my thoughts.
Also, lol at Wilsonthenarc's suggestion. Might as well go all the way with audacity if people complain about it. XD

People complaining are probably from Europe who's English their second language so they dont understand the nuances for the meaning of "real".
I found that alot with second language people. They find strange meanings in certain English words that native English speakers don't attribute.
If you all want to change the name that's fine. Only part of the name I care about is the EEFL part, lol.

You could maybe use Classic, Definitive or Legacy rather than Real as those words kinda sum up square based, ranks and flanks WFB and are maybe less threatening words. Edit: I do like "The Old World Forum" tho.

What about:
The 'World-That-Was' Warhammer Forum.

What about: The 'World-That-Was' Warhammer Forum. I don't much like the ring to this. I have no problem with the current name.

Anymore thoughts about this? Someone suggested something like: "Eighth Edition For Life (EEFL)! – The Forum Dedicated to the 8th Edition of Warhammer" I'm for a title like this; as rightfully upset as we are about AoS, the key to keeping our beloved 8th alive is to be inclusionary and to get new players on board. I'd prefer a name that's less aggressive snarky towards the game for the sole reason that, as far as I'm concerned, Age of Sigmar is an entirely different Warhammer Game (like 40K). No need to trash an entirely different game people are playing, it just isn't Warhammer Fantasy Battles. Obviously, if people aren't interested in changing it I'm not one to get huffy over the matter, I just think the community would best be served by having the most open and welcoming first impression possible. If they join and ask us for a AoS section, then we can show them door.

If it is to be changed, I'd vote for this one.

The 'World-That-Was' is one of the names they use in AOS to described our destroyed world - that's why I think this is cool!

Anything of these suggested other than the current would be my preference; I just think we'll make more progress being less antagonistic over the whole affair.

That has a good ring to it, Kevin. It has some nuance.

Eighth Edition For Life (EEFL)! – The Forum Dedicated to the 8th Edition of Warhammer
This would be my vote if you do decide to change the name Kevin.

Forum name change done. Anyone who protest the name, do so this week, or forever hold your peace.

i don't think that I am happy with eighth edition for life.... i have been playing since 2nd edition after all. The Warhammer Fantasy World Forum would be my vote... since warhammer fantasy has been ditched for the AOS nonsense.... do they (GW) have intellectual property on the words warhammer fantasy still, if they have dropped support for the game??
If that's not an option why not the WFB Forum (since they always used WFB in the past).... they are no longer producing a warhammer fantasy battle game anymore.

Hi Grim, welcome to the forum.
While playing other editions of Warhammer, including AOS, is fantastic, this forum is specifically dedicated to the 8th edition, hence its name. Prior to the current name, the forum was called: 'The REAL Warhammer Forum - Eighth Edition For Life (EEFL)'. We modified it based on people interpreting 'REAL' as snobbish.
