Duane Thomas Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I always liked "Brian's Shooting Forums." Sorry to be a reactionary. OTOH since I coined the term [shuffles feet modestly] all these many moons ago, "Enosverse" has its charms. How about a play on the Twilight Zone: "You are about to enter....the Enosverse."

BigDave Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Flex might like this: THE Brian Enos Shooting Forums Brian, considering you are a Buckeye by birth, it may relate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I still like "Brian's Shooting Forums." It's....friendly. And doesn't come across like it's trying to break its back being clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I'm gonna have to vote for Enosverse or something to that effect. (Edited by TheItlianStalion at 3:37 pm on Oct. 26, 2002) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noname Posted October 27, 2002 Share Posted October 27, 2002 Wrap your mind around this concept for a forum name. THE be CENTER ed CIRCLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benos Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 the be center ed circle is pretty clever. What about just "be centered," with a circle around it? I don't know though, the "cirlce" does add that is a like-minded GROUP. I had forgotten about, but like Duane's Enosverse. It's kinda cool. OK, what about benosverse?

George D Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 "I still like "Brian's Shooting Forums." It's....friendly. And doesn't come across like it's trying to break its back being clever. " Duane's opinion, I agree. "Brian's Shooting Forums." Acknowledges founder and states reason for existence. My opinion (repeat) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dani Posted October 29, 2002 Share Posted October 29, 2002 Brian, i think the title is very important, but if you want to be found in the web you must add special topics like " Pam Anderson testing benos 5 incher", or "new slide glide applications by Carmen Electra (pictures included)" or "Leatham secret right eye surgery" or "secret loads to cheat cronograph" etc., you'll increase the visitors in 4 times, of course all topics must be a link to the online Benos store. Just an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Dame Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 BEnosverse has a great ring to it, how does "THE Shooting Forum" Doesn't sound as good as BEnosverse but it lest you know what's going on. Welcome to BEnosverse the center of the shooting world. what about that across the top of the page? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tightloop Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 maybe I missed the whole point, but if it isn't broken, why fix it? I am with Duane, I like the old name. It doesn't try too hard to be cute or too intellectual, just straight forward and to the point without making anyone feel they don't belong; as they might if they did not understand or "get" one of the other fine choices.

spook Posted October 31, 2002 Share Posted October 31, 2002 You could go for ebonics: I BE Shooting, or since or friendly host has the calm meditational ways of the late Bob Ross, perhaps "The Joy of Shooting". Then you would have to change your signature to "Happy shooting and God bless", though. But all lame jokes aside, I think something classic (Brian Enos' Shooting Forums) and not too witty would fit these forums best. Like THE Book, it's just timeless stuff. Nothing fancy or contemporary, and that's also why it's still so cool today. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
down0 Posted November 1, 2002 Share Posted November 1, 2002 Let's go pro sports: "Brian's Shooting Forums at Maku mozo Field", or "Brian's Shooting Forums Classic, sponsored by Maku mozo"...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benos Posted November 2, 2002 Author Share Posted November 2, 2002 Thanks to all for your personal insights on the name! I reckon I'll just leave it... OK, maybe a slight alteration. be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dunn Posted November 2, 2002 Share Posted November 2, 2002 Sounds like "Brian's Shooting Whistlestop" or "Shooting on the Benosville Express" might be appropriate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mistral404 Posted December 10, 2002 Share Posted December 10, 2002 Since I travel alot in my profession, I am often at computers where I do not have a favorites list. 9 times out of ten, when I use a search engine, I get B. Enos music. My point being, that a name should make it easy for search engines to find BE website. I realize the startegy is alot more simiplier than the tactics i.e. the devil is in the details. The idea of competitive shooting in the title would help the people looking for competitive shooting forums v. other gun forums. So I think Jon's and Spook's are on the right track. There is no doubt this is the best competitive shooting forum on the web. Nobody else comes close in breadth or depth. USPSA can not even come close, especially after they caved on their new forum layout. They had a chance do do a good job but ended up choking the chicken.
