Replacing SION, final poll! - Page 2

Long_Long_Name · 04-12-2008, 07:03 PM

For some reason, when I read BNN, I think of a cheap asian copy - Bollywood News Network or something.

Also, OOTP Baseball Network is a much better way to describe what the network is than Baseball News Network - about, what, 1% of the pages in the network are actual news?

That said, it's a pretty trivial issue, so either way doesn't really matter

Damn, this vote is closer than the 2000 American election

I'm gonna put the obligatory Make it so you can choose between the 2 in the game!

To me, BNN sounds to much like you can't find the imagination to come up with something so you make a cheap copy of CNN. I like OBN better largely because it has OOTP in it, more descriptive I think.

OOTP Sports News, or
OOTP Sports Network.

I vote for this.

My BNN idea was not the result of a poor imagination but rather from the obvious. Baseball game + news + network = BNN. It was that simple. I spent about 10 seconds coming up with it. CNN never entered into the picture despite the similarities.

The "O" in OBN stands for OOTP which is itself an acronym. I think we should avoid the double acronym. Thus, I voted for BNN.

Just wait until the demands for a recount start happening...

Seviien · 04-12-2008, 11:47 PM

OBN is an abbreviation within an abbreviation... that's kinda silly.

How about TBN (The Baseball Network)

OSN isn't a bad choice either.

Just don't like the sound of BNN/OBN.

I'm starting to think people are doing this on purpose just to keep this thing tied

I didn't say it was a result of poor imagination, I said it sounded like a result of poor imagination, not the same thing at all.

actually, can we have a poll to rename OOTP?

We have now the right result and so the poll can be closed.
