Hi, my name is Brock Beauchamp, and I'd like to talk to all of you!

Well, I'm done with this thread.

If I had to chose between 'we are the crane pool' versus 'we were

the crane pool' I think I've made my choice clear.

You stepped away from the admin role years ago. Are you saying that Edgy and I don't have the right to do the same?

Nobody is volunteering to step in and be a host, administrator, moderator and technical resource. If someone wants to do that, we can have a different conversation. But I understand why nobody is stepping forward. I don't want to do it either.

Come on guys. The Crane Pool was a stupid name too. These kind of puns stop being funny after the first 3 times you say it.

There should be a way to incorporate the word "Pool" in the new name.

The Amazin' Pool

Mariano Rivera's Poolboys

The Mets Pool

Met Wetness

The Mets Pool

Met Wetness

 

I think you can guess from this list which choice I prefer

[Lefty Specialist]

To maximize the SEO, I think it should be called the Amazin' Metropolitan Lindor Soto Mets Citifield Seaver GaryKeithRon Piazza Krane-Pool.

Or the AMLSMCSGKRPKP for short

[Lefty Specialist]

Or maybe instead of Amazin' , they use Amazon'.

[metsmarathon]

Would it be so hard to become the Crane Pool Mets Forum?

[A Boy Named Seo]

The Crane Pool Mets Forum

-enter at your own risk

-no pissing

Every time I come back to this thread I get an image of Tevye leaving his beloved village of Anatevka.

( cue the music)

Later

The Crane Pool Mets Forum

-enter at your own risk

-no pissing

 

The title probably wouldn't have the name "Forum" in it, but you have the right idea.

The irony is that the title was meant to be deliberately obscure/ambiguous. Before there was a science to search engine optimization, we were practicing search engine evasion.

The Mets Crane Pool. Wade into the latest Mets news. Dive into the deep end in our forums. Mind the skinny dippers.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Suggest an alternative.

[Edgy MD]

Well, I've tried to give folks a bunch of links through which they can check Brock out.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

You are absolutely talking circles.

I'm all in on making the move if the mods are ready to turn over those reigns.

Since this forum can be mothballed and come out of mothballs if people don't like the other place, there's really no risk.

And, really, we need to stop taking swipes at Brock. All he did was express interest and make an offer.

Edgy and Ben, make the call and I'll support whichever way you decide.

[Benjamin Grimm]

Has anyone already here volunteered to assume the mantle of running this place?

 

Nope.

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, I would think the forum name would be the overall site name. If it's, say, 'Mets Journal' then the forum would be 'Mets Journal Forum'. That seems pretty clear to me. You wouldn't name it the Crane Pool Forum any more than you would name it the Spanky and Our Gang Forum. It's all part of being a piece of the bigger entity.

[Frayed Knot]

I think as long as the new place provides a pool for the cranes to splash around in then everything should be OK.

After all, a crane's gotta crane.

This.

[metirish]

So, what is happening? Any timeline, moving or staying?

Please stand by.

Thank you

We'll be working on coming up with a name that satisfies our needs along with the SEO needs and availability and not-stupidity needs.

Well hot damn ... I guess that means that any Met Wetness will have to be contained to just my undergarments.
