Default Alternative acronyms for NZB

As we aren't exclusively for NZ people, I thought it might be an idea to give the boards a name that isn't "New Zealand Boards".

Who can come up with the best?

A couple:
  • Naughty Zone (ummm...)
  • Normality Zero (that's more like it)

How about...?
  • Naked Zebra
  • Nocturnal zoologist (those first two are mix-and-match)
  • November Zulu (for international recognition)
  • Near Zenith (just 'cause I think it sounds good)

Did you also google for 'n words' and 'z words'?

I had considered Naked Zebra...but there's an IRC channel on undernet called #nz that is either Naked or Nude Zebra...cos they didn't want to be 'the New Zealand channel'

No. I just plucked them out of my head.

There must be some cosmic significance to Naked and/or nude zebra then.

I think it would be alright if you just left it as it is, becuase maybe thats half the attraction.. people coming to talk to NZers I mean who wouldn't want to talk to us!

I agree Penny.

I like it being nzboards.

Obviously it's not putting people off ... we are getting new members every day.
