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

[Phil Elliott]

"Football Guys - let us help you score more"

 

[Instinctive]

Given how much goes on in the forums and how thats been an integral part of what, to me, has set FBGs apart from other sites offering similar written content, I kind of like "Sharks". It's a nod to what you have to some extent built this brand on.

But FBG content has always been, for me, about the tool(s) and the forums.

So maybe there's something built around the Draft Dominator name (Doms is maybe a bit too me too for that to work LOL). Given that, my brain jumped to "Sharks". Simple, clean, and a nod to your roots. Also shouldn't offend anyone.

And to be clear, I'm talking about a name not for the forum. I"m talking about the larger community that is all the people who purchase a Footballguys Premium Subscription or join the Footballguys Daily Email Update mailing list.

Seems like you already have a name.

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.

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,

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.”

Of course. Would prefer something not weird.

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

You wouldn't? How would you define a "community"?

 

[Willie Neslon]

Something with Joe in it.
The Joe's
The Joe Squad
Joe's Crew

 

[Willie Neslon]

I would say the Joe-Joe's but that's a Trader Joe's cookie.

 

[Nick Vermeil]

But FBG content has always been, for me, about the tool(s) and the forums.

"The Tools" seems pretty apt to me.









*eta Love you tools.

You wouldn't? How would you define a "community"?

People who rally behind a common cause, or who are rabid fans of someone - such that they would blindly follow/defend.

My wife refers to this entity as footballguys. That’s mostly in reference to all us knobs on the forums. But she knows that it’s all centered around, originated from FF.

She’ll say “go ask footballguys.” :happy: Or, “who told you that? Footballguys!” :annoyed It’s a bit of a double edged sword.

 

[AAABatteries]

Do you know who AAABatteries is?


As of my last update in April 2023, "AAABatteries" does not reference a widely recognized entity or personality within the fantasy football community, sports industry, or popular media that I can definitively identify.

Because that's what people do when they see a group of sharks?

Seems way more sensical compared to what we call a group of crows.

My FBG email salutation is Howdy (my name). My Fantasy Footballer’s salutation is hey footclan! As a Texan I thoroughly approve of “howdy”.

Trying out this for size, Hey Black Eyed Joes! I’d probably get used to it.

Here is the new theme song by Little Jimmy Dickens - Black Eyed Joes (SFW)

One of the things we're hoping to do more of is creating opportunities for subscribers to interact more with each other.

Exactly why I use that. I'm an adopted Texan. Amarillo, Plano, College Station, and Bryan.
