Ok for all LaTech fans on this forum. I've decided to make a poll in order for us to come to a decision on the name of this forum since we haven't reached a decision and there doesn't seem to be an orderly way of deciding. I thought about putting it in the other thread but I wanted it visible to all. It should only take a few minutes.

The idea is to show what we prefer and work with what GTS is willing to allow. In the link below, it'll ask for your opinion on a few different ideas including keeping the name Bulldog Barks & Bytes, your opinion on modifying it, keeping the BB&B initials and then of course you can select choices amongst all of those options and more. All options have been mentioned by fans already on the other thread. Say we do prefer to keep the name Bulldog Barks & Bytes but he won't allow it. Then we move on to modified names if that is preferred or a completely different name if that is preferred.

This is only for Tech fans on the forum. You will have to provide your username when submitting AND comment below that you voted. Your personal votes won't be made public. This is just to prevent any non-Tech fans from changing the results.

You have until Monday to vote.

Alright so far I've got:

Someone else did it but didn't put their username so I'm gonna delete it. If you guys could comment after submitting, it would help authenticate it all. If any Tech fans are lurkers, feel free to sign up and participate.

Welcome aboard!

Thanks! I had an account on BB&B with same username and had been wondering what happened to it. Glad y’all are making these changes on here.

Ahh very sorry about that. You must have been the one that didn't put your username. Let's see if we can remedy that. Are you able to to do it again with another google account?

halftime bump for those that haven't done the poll yet.

More posters have participated, great job! I've got Austindog, LRdawg and dog1970 now. Please feel free to post to authenticate it.

After asking for any names that may not have been mentioned, you guys have done a good job. The names included have been:

USL's Daddy

and

Daddy's Home

Done. I added Daddy's Home. I think being in the Belt, that'll generate some good ol hate from our conference mates.

Poll closes tomorrow so get your votes in!

Some board members that I see havent voted yet:

Tech80
Inutech
SicemDawgs
Zep2020

I'm sure there are others. Also jpw67, let's see if we can get your input in again.

I was out of commission for a few days and missed it. What ended up winning? I can update the header to get to GTS.

Alright dawgs, I finally have had some time to give compile results and organize it for all of you. We had 13 participants in the poll. Here are the results:

1. If possible, do you prefer to keep "Bulldog Barks & Bytes" as the forum name?

1. 61.5% 8/13 Yes, I want to keep "Bulldog Barks &
   Bytes" as the forum name
2. 15.4% 2/13 No, I do NOT want to keep "Bulldog
   Barks & Bytes" as the forum name.
3. 23.1% 3/13 I don't have a strong preference
   

2. If the name "Bulldog Barks & Bytes" cannot be used but can be slightly modified, would you prefer a slightly modified version of it?

1. 76.9% 10/13 Yes, I would like a modified version of
   the name
2. 0% 0/13 No, I wouldn't like a modified version of
   the name.
3. 23.1% 3/13 I don't have a strong preference
   

3. Do you want to keep BB&B as the abbreviation of the forum's name even if some word(s) represented by those initials must change?

1. 68.2% 9/13 Yes, I want to keep BB&B as the
   abbreviation of the forum's name
2. 7.7% 1/13 No, I don't want to keep BB&B as the
   abbreviation of the forum's name.
3. 23.1% 3/13 I don't have a strong preference
   

I'm not expert in polling so excuse any problems with the method. But if I had to summarize it all from my point of view after looking at it all:

1 - The majority of fans here want to keep the name as close to Bulldog Barks and Bytes as possible, whether that's keeping the name or modifying it or choosing new word(s)
2 - There is no majority or consensus though for any abbreviated name of BB&B if we have to modify or change it. Fans like the idea of keeping the abbreviation but can't agree on what it can newly represent. At least not a majority.
3 - The only new name submitted that seems to have a convincing majority of fans in favor of it is "The Dawghouse"

So if I had to extrapolate and decide, keeping the name "Bulldog Barks and Bytes" is the preferred option by the board but if not possible, the next option preferred by the majority of the board would be "The Dawghouse". Otherwise there doesn't seem to be a clear option preferred by the majority of the board.

How many wrote in "Daddy" related names (e.g. Daddy's Home).
