Anniversaries, Names, Gravestones
Posted by Franz Bieberkopf on March 27, 2013 at 11:54 pmAs we approach what might be considered by some to be near the second anniversary (or not) of the forum,
And since the monthy, bi-monthly, or otherwise frequent request, suggestion, and discussion of a forum name-change is due,
And on the heels of some particularly foul-toned threads,
I suggest that a name change might be considered for the forum, to reflect both the shift in discussion (and the hope that it broadens further), and – perhaps more importantly – to rather dampen the temptation to invective that “The Debate” moniker may be contributing to, above and beyond its use as a lightning rod and beacon for exchange of information, data, views, and object graph management.
I believe Chris Harlan suggested the “The Editors’ Lounge”.
Franz.

Isn’t that trademarked?
https://www.editorslounge.comI think COW would like a HOT title that would draw eyeballs.
They already have Platform Wars.
Looks like the armistice was signed though.
https://forums.creativecow.net/platformwarsI’d think something like
“Tag Team NLE Wrestling Bood Bath”
or
“My NLE’s Red Hot, Your’s ain’t Doodly Squat”
or more simply
“NLE Death Match”
or maybe more accurate
“Grumpy Old Men” (quick, find the last post made in this forum by a woman). -

Or maybe we’re looking at this all wrong. We want the COW to get lots of eyeballs. Let’s thing about what works on YouTube.

There’s nothing we can’t argue about on the FCPX COW Forum

Still seems a pretty relevant title to me and it really compliments the FCPX Techniques Forum. Mostly the discussions are pretty considered and informative, the individuals who derive huge enjoyment from winding up others stick out a mile – or should I say individual?
What it allows is a more erudite view of where FCPX sits in the market. And yes it is slowly gaining more traction at the broadcast end of the spectrum.

No, you should definitely stick with the plural.
[Mark Dobson] “What it allows is a more erudite view of where FCPX sits in the market. And yes it is slowly gaining more traction at the broadcast end of the spectrum.”
I’m sure the Vegas and Edius editors would make the same claim with “slowly” and “more” being both ambiguous and irrelevant. For all his wild ranting the Mandy test initiated by Aindreas is unbiased and substantial.

Yeah, you are right, ‘slowly’ and ‘more’ are not most precise word to use.
However, I think that recent news from Craig Slattery that the BBCs flagship arts programme ‘The Culture Show’ is edited with FCPX is a sign that the software is making inroads into a marketplace that would have been hard to imagine 2 years ago.
