This is an interesting issue. The renaming of the forum would be done by the staff here at Renderosity and they would do it based on the responses and needs of the members. As the mod of the forum, I would attempt to arbitrate the issue. We do have Raydream users who read the forum but don't actively participate here (lurkers). The gallery is another issue as I believe we may get a handful of images in the gallery a year. If my memory serves me, we probably get one to two Raydream questions per year (or less). I can't really tell how much the Raydream lurkers benefit from the forum due to the lack of posting. It would be my hope that Raydream users would continue to read the forum after the name change. I would guess the number of NEW Raydream users per year is so ludicrously small that we practically don't help any of those people (if they exist). That would mean that legacy Raydream users would still participate at their same level (and would ALWAYS be welcome). In terms of gallery postings, Raydream users might feel they need to post in the other apps gallery. Not sure how they would feel about that. They may feel slighted. There are also Raydream users here who post and I just didn't know they're Raydream users. This also clouds the issues surrounding my personal knowledge of the Raydream activity here. Splitting the forum into a new Raydream forum is also a possibility. Conclusion, If there is a strong feeling that a name change to the forum is warrented, then I'll consult the staff and pursue it. There may be issues surrounding the coding which runs the site and I have no idea how benign or serious those are but I want everybody to know there might be a problem from that angle (don't know yet). -Kix
