yeah, that was part of the fun early on. Now in public, I pronounce it "Pucks" and say that the H is silent because it's Dutch. "We have members from around the world" lol

I'm just an old guy - LOL - so may be more offensive to my delicate sensibilities than the vast majority of your audience, not that I'm a prude, either. I do wonder though after having those original thoughts, how many others might be turned off by it too.

It's not just you or your age. I also raised my eyebrows at the name, but I wasn't consulted, not that I have any brilliant ideas.

The idea of a name that's a play on a word or phrase (Reddit - "read it" and Voat - "vote") is all fine and good, but seriously...any other word might've been more acceptable.

Yeah, I'm not pushing for a change, either ... just speaking out my 'first impression' thoughts. The fact is, it's a great place and a bit of a shame that some might be turned off without even giving it a chance. But again, it is what it is and I can live with it.

the neat thing is that the way our frontend runs, we could have multiple sites on multiple domains all with different names using the same db and logins all seeing the same posts.
