Forum's new name???!?

Any reason you had to change the name of the main forum?? Thing goes halfway across the screen now without any of the sub forums tacked on.. Not to mention when I get email alerts to thread replies, now I've got to open the email to see what thread it is because the subject line is 4 lines long.

I thought it was perfect when it said Third Generation F-Body Message Boards, probably has something to do with more search engine weirdness. They left out GTA and Formula.

More words = more search engine results I believe. Does not bother me too much.

Yes, we were actually getting search returns for people looking for non specific things about air intakes and what not. We wanted to be more specific and the Title bar is very important when it comes to relevance about the site. So now the people that visit know what they are coming to visit for. This should result in more people signing up and finding what it is that they are looking for.

Still confused.. People were coming here from searches not related to third-gens, so now we have every possible word describing what the forum is for. Now these people who weren't interested in third-gen's will now sign up on the board to find the info not dealing with third-gen's they were originally looking for.

The explanation makes no sense to me.

Regardless it's still annoying, maddening, irritating, infuriating, bothersome, exasperating, aggravating, trying, and frustrating to find out what a site email is trying to tell me. I could have used less adjectives but I wanted to make sure we covered everything for the search engines.

The title that is now there will push us further down the list for non third gen related searches and push us WAY WAY up the list for camaro/firebird specific searches in every single thread posted in the forum.
