New board name

Hi peeps, time to get your thinking caps on! I've always thought that it was a bit odd that this board was called the Discover Plan as there were so many different 'plans' on the old system and we often have new people coming on to the site looking for the old programme and not realising that there is a board for them. I've contacted Mini who has said that we can change it if we like to something more appropriate.

This is what I wrote

Hi Mini,
I'm not quite sure who I should address this to, I hope it's okay to send it to you?

I have been thinking about the name of the Discover Plan boards in the Weight Watchers section. I was wondering if we might be able to change the name to make it easier to find by people coming on to the site looking for the old points system.

Discover was just one of the many different versions of the same programmes such as 1,2,3 Success or Pure Points etc., so it's a little confusing. If you didn't actually do the Discover plan you wouldn't know what it was and lots of people come on the site asking if anyone is doing the old programme and haven't spotted us.

I was wondering what you would think about maybe changing the name of the boards to Weight Watchers - 'Vintage' or 'Vintage Plan' or even 'Old Points Plan (or System)'? These names are what it usually gets called these days.

Just an idea, no worries if not. Thanks loads, Hules

Sure no problem I will get Pierce to do it when he has time as he is away working just now.

I will let you pick the name that represents the forum best:)

So what do you reckon? I quite like 'Weight Watchers - Vintage' keeping it simple or 'Weight Watchers - Vintage Plan', but I'm keen to see what you all think - or even if you'd actually prefer to keep it as it is? Or perhaps you've another suggestion? I really think it would help to raise the board's profile, give us a few more regulars and help others to find it. I know when I was looking for a forum for WW I was typing in Old WW or Vintage Points into the search engines not Discover.

Exciting eh?
 
No-one? I said I'd get back to Mini about the name. I'd hate to say go for it without the thoughts of others!
 
Yea vintage points sounds good although some people stillage not know what that is I might think as I only knew when I downloaded the app calculator. Old points may be easier to understand? X
 
Agreed, though I'm not sure I think old points sounds as nice? 'Old Points Board' etc?
 
It does, doesn't it? I wish more people were around Lou, loads have read this, but no-one else has commented. Shame that! I'll pm mini later today if there's are no further comments. I think you're right on 'points' rather than 'plan' too, I'm thinking that most people call this programme VP for vintage points (rather than 'plan') so Weight Watchers - Vintage Points is a good title.
