Need Help - Naming Our Larger Footballguys Community (1 Viewer)

[Joe Bryant]

Hi Folks,

Need some help. I'd like to have a fun, clear, clever name that we can call our Footballguys Community for all our subscribers. Not just our forums.

My friends at The FantasyFootballers call their subscribers "The Footclan". And that's fun.

I'd like something for us. Sometimes you see it with music bands where the community has names like "Deadheads" for the Grateful Dead or a fun one I discovered yesterday with "Sheerios" for fans of Ed Sheeran.

Ideally, it would be something that flows easily when I ask people to "Join the __________".

We've used several over the years sort of informally. Shark Pool (for the NFL forum), Footballguys Family and such. But wondering if we could do better.

Throw out ideas you have here. Or PM me if you want to keep it private.

If we use your idea, we'll give away a 1 year Hall Of Fame Premium subscription. If multiple people enter the same name that wins, the person who sends it in first wins.

Thanks!

Is there something wrong with “FBG”, as use that term already? (Other than the definitions of that term on Urban Dictionary.)

“FBGs - we make the fantasy football world go round.”

It's natural for guys to put on a little weight as they reach middle age. I don't think we should call out our larger Footballguys like this.

 

[Sullie]

FootBoomerGuys or "Guys who don't know how to use free AI?" I kid, I'm a kidder. . . mostly.

I mean, this feels too easy. It's right there.

This whole thing reminds of this.

Sheerios actually makes me like Ed Sheeran less.

How about something simple like "The Crew."

If it's something like this or Joe's Bros or the like, I'm giving someone an actual black eye and throwing ALL the pennies before I storm out.

I always just thought it was FBGs.

That's the clear term used whenever I've met somebody from this board IRL.

FBG guys

It's like the SEC conference

Seems like you already have a name.

He's looking for something original, like everyone else has.

Agreed. I just was thining it might be fun to have a name for the community that was different than the actual name of the site.

That works fine. Was just wondering if we might could do better.

"Original" to us.

I like that you're asking for input, Joe. But this is not how I would define a "community".

"The Hive" or "FBG Hive"
Simple and effective.
Instills a sense of community, "buzz", and productivity.
(yes, I understood the assignment)

Sharks. That’s the other name that’s already applied to people on the site and it isn’t the name of the site. Anything completely new is going to sound forced given that the site has been around for so long,

Footballguys = FBGs so something using "Bee Gees". Like FootBeeGees but not exactly that.

I feel like if something weird starts getting trotted in daily e-mails, I’m going to feel like Mean Girls: “Stop trying to make [fetch] happen. It’s not going to happen.”
