Hello community! In the shadow of the theme release, a few changes will be taking place over the next few days/weeks. 2 of these things are 1. Changing the URL of the forum, and 2. Changing our 'brand'. Changing our URLDue to the fact that we have 'Lego' in our URL means that we cannot receive any official (or unofficial) support from other lego-based organisations such as bricklink. However, rather than just let the staff decide what the new URL should be, we've decided to let you join in by having a week of suggestions and putting them into a big poll in which you'll all be able to vote for your top 2 favorite options. We're doing 2 votes a person in case a suggested name is already taken, in which case the winner will be the 2nd choice. As part of our 're-branding' we are also removing ‘ Eternal’ from our name, because this means absolutely nothing to any new users and would probably be a bit confusing/weird. The current suggestions that the staff have come up with are: brick.boards.net, community-brick.boards.net and brickcomminity.boards.net Please bear in mind that we have to keep the "boards.net" as this is a restriction of the system we work on, please keep 'Lego' out of suggestions as well.Please post your suggestions down below, and depending on how many quality suggestions we get, the poll will be on this topic on Saturday the 2nd of May and will run for a week!
Changing our NameI think we can all agree that having a name that correlates to our URL is probably best if the voted URL isn't generic. For example, if our URL was changed to brick.boards.net or any of the URLs listed above then we would obviously change our name to "Brick Message Boards." If the URL you guys vote for has a number of possible names to go with it then we may have another vote on that subject, but that will remain to be seen. So make sure that you include a name as well as URL suggestion when you post below! That about wraps everything up, if you have any questions about the theme or about the changes, you can go to the Theme Release Discussion or Talk to the Staff respectively. Happy posting! UPDATEA bit of an annoying update, it seems brick.boards.net is unavailable to use... The only way it can be freed up is if proboards will do a quick clean of their delete URLs. So it remains possible but we'll have to see, in the mean time please post more suggestions!

Honestly, I like the name "brick.boards.net" the best out of those names. One of my suggestions is "Fig.Forums.net"

I can't think of anything better than brick.board.net. The Brick Boards has a certain ring to it.
Will this possibly help us gain new members, if others sites are giving us support? Have we talked to staff from other sites already?

Okay, what about: " FigForums.boards.net" '' Playwell.proboards.net'' (as we can't use LEGO, we could use what the word means ) ''CubeCommunity.boards.net'' ''BrickClub.Proboards.Net'' ''TheBrick.boards.net'' ''OGEL.boards.net (er, bit silly but LEGO backwards!)''
''FigureOfSpeech.boards.net''''BrickWorld.boards.net'' ''BrickColony.boards.net'' (because we started out as members settling after coming from somewhere else ) Do these meet the requirements Henny4315 ?

I must say, if brick.boards.net is available, that's absolutely the best, with the name "Brick Boards" or "Brick Community Boards." If not, what about brick.proboards.net?
Also I really like playwell.boards.net (believe it or not, I had that idea while going to sleep last night and didn't steal it).

Also I really like playwell.boards.net (believe it or not, I had that idea while going to sleep last night and didn't steal it). Yeah, unfortunately proboards say it's taken (even though that forum was deleted)... :/ It would be brick.proboards.com It's not bad, but the 'pro' makes it sound like we're cheap.
Great, I'll add that to the list!
Also, great to have you back!
