I kind of do to, but I think at this point they're sort of locked in. I dont know the process for naming a site so I could be wrong.

I don't think it would be set.

It could be a pain to get every instance changed, but that's what find/replace is for :)
And a simple change that didn't involve abandoning the mascot, might not be too bad.

Phoks? Phox?

I don't mind the name, but it can be a bit of a hard sell to new users.

It's a real hard sell. The people I invited declined because of the name.

Love the Fox. Not a fan of the Phuks.

I wonder if we could put it up for a vote? I think the mascot is awesome, and having a name that fit it still would be pretty nice to.

Maybe counterculture has no appeal anymore but if it does, "phuks" is an appropriate label for a counterculture forum. It might be a good way to weed out those who are uncomfortable being different.

I think it's the spelling that makes Phuks feel awkward to use. I get that the ph is to distance the word from fuck and I like the similarity in sound to fox. I think the ph is what makes it feel awkward to use in a sentence, possibly the trailing s.
