Rename AndroidForums.com to Daily.Net

[Rob]

Let's face it: the height of Android excitement is behind us. The smartphone market has matured. New Android announcements just don't hit like they used to... and that's okay. Android will always have a special place in our heart, but as technology enthusiasts, we want and need more.

I'm proposing that we rename Android Forums to The Daily Net, reincarnating our beloved site into a broader community for Tech Enthusiasts. The Daily Net sounds somewhat like an official news source, and that's great- "citizen journalism" on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit have become the world's most valuable and popular source of content.

"The" is us, as a community, driving the conversation conversation.
"Daily" suggests there's always a reason to come back and see What's New.
"Net" gives a tech-centric community network vibe.

We'll still need to figure out how to organize the site and prioritize tech help and support, something on which we've historically thrived.

Desperately want to keep Android Forums? Let me know!

My posts kept instantly disappearing shortly after I made them. No warning, no PM, no error. I made another thread asking why my posts weren't sticking, then got insta banned. I never did figure out why.

That's what I really hate: Lack of communication! What separates man from animals is our ability to communicate, our ability to use language. When those mods in that form refused to use their words, when they refused to tell you what grievance they had with you (let alone try to talk things out): They were lowering themselves to the level of animals.

Sometimes ya gotta reinvent yourself.

@Rob what about old Forum members trying to return , will there be something directing them to the new Forum and saying it was AF in the past ?

The only thing that will change is the name. All the old links will still work. For example, if you went to the link of this current thread:

Yes. Social media by another name is still social media. Your proposal is a radical departure from this forum's current status as an Android forum!

Let's see where things stand:

VOTE: AndroidForums.com Name Change!

Android Forums is transitioning to The Daily Net! It's primarily a name change- all of the site's conversations will be preserved on the new domain. However, we'll need to move the community to a subdomain or directory (ex: daily.net/forum or forum.daily.net). State your case for your...
