Nickname for original fans

[IamPaul]

Figured the best way to find a name for us , before the Nerdist (BN), fans was to start a thread to work it out. My ideas were Tower Members (TM's) or Waylanders.

BC - Before Chris
AD - After . . . . Dante--fuck I got nothing.

Great idea! Thanks for starting the thread.

Kc suggested in the Nerdist announcement thread that he would like something that referenced the Tower. His suggestion was OT or Original Tenants.

I say we keep riffing on the ideas posted and see what rises up...

I'll throw out one out there: Towerites

[Osiris]

Keep it simple. Add an OG tag to everyone who registered before 2013. Done and done. I need a beer.

The We're A'Lifer . . . um . . . s?

Call the nerdist folk the New Brood.

[Osiris]

Or we just call them family, and make them feel like they're part of us as opposed to standing apart from a niche.


EDIT*

Wow, that sounded less convoluted in my head.

nah I got you. I was honestly wondering why we even needed to bother personally. If people feel the need, fine...I just don't really know why we need it.

It would be like differentiating between who found the podcast through Greg Miller and who found it of their own means.

We have the join date in our bios beside all our posts which should provide an indication as well. We could even colour that as a subtle distinction if people wanted.

Word, son. I don't have a preference either way, but if I was required to vote I would probably say "even playing field. We all already know who WE are and it's really no different than the people who have joined at any time beyond season one. We're all just trying to fit in somehow.

That said, if Kc feels as though he wants to recognize the original members--or pre-hardwickers--then so be it.
