[Scott Witthaus] “Or just change the title of this forum.”
You might want to look at the title of this thread one more time. The idea of changing the name of this forum comes up about once a month, and it gets shot down once a month. Under the heading of “it ain’t broke. so…”

First some people complain about the name of the forum, then more people complain about changing the name of the forum , then Tim comes on and says that the name stays as is. And on and on …

“Most people know what this forum is for, I don’t think a name change would get any more people in. The discussions here can be very broad indeed, only one or two people moan when they are not directly FCPX related.

[Scott Witthaus] “To do what, debate? Debate what?”
To fulfill whatever it is that you feel like this forum is missing. I’m not saying start another debate forum, we have one, I’m saying start a brand new forum that will not be a “debate” forum.
I’m trying to understand where you are coming from, not questioning your motives. I think you have a point, but let me ask a few questions. Do you want to change the title of this forum because of the captive audience? Or do you want to change the title of this forum because there is nothing more to discuss about FCPX and its place in the world? What do you feel that you can’t ask here on this forum, and how would a new name allow for better questions or talking points?
Changing the name of this forum, I feel, denies it’s existence. There was a healthy and spirited debate among colleagues here, and the death of FCP Legend, and subsequent launch of fcpx is how this forum grew organically.
If you search old posts, they relate, sometimes through tenuous connections, to fcpx or the death of the Legend in one way or another, and that is the origin of this forum.

[Scott Witthaus] “No disrespect intended.”
Great to hear. Thanks for responding. As for the name of the forum, some things take on a life of their own and I don’t even think about it as the FCP X forum but rather the debate forum. What’s in a name? I will say if Cow were to change it, I’d want the Creative Cloud Debate changed to ‘subscription vs. perpetual debate’ 😉

I wouldn’t worry about that forum too much, it’s a bit of a ghost town at the moment (at least until Adobe choose to puts the subscription price up! )

[Dennis Radeke] “I’d want the Creative Cloud Debate changed to ‘subscription vs. perpetual debate’ ;-)”
That gives me an idea, “FCP X: Perpetual Debate!”.

Gosh Dennis,
Does this mean you see the “or Not” appendage as calling into question the value of the thing it’s attached to in a clearly negative way?
Imagine that.
