Good day to you all!
I am giving consideration to changing the URL this forum, since it is currently named after something that no longer exists, and the focus is shifting.
As I understand it, if I do, it will be active under both the old and new URL for two weeks. Then, the old URL will display a message directing people to the new URL for some length of time.
This is just advanced notice. If you have feelings one way or another, feel free to voice them here.

Will all the previous content remain Todd or is this a sort of do over?

Do you have an idea of what you might call it?

I was thinking it was time to rename the forum. I am all in favour of the change.

As an Aspie, I am generally opposed to change, but this seems like an excellent idea. Finding a good title is going to be tricky!

The URL is kind of irrelevant to me, since I just use a bookmark to get here.
However, I suspect the change may cause the loss of less active forum members. If someone only visits once every month or so to see what's new, they'll discover the forum no longer exists at the old address. Will they have a way to discover the new location? If not, how much do you care about the loss of these members?

It may even be a permanent message, as they say that it's rare that they will allow someone else to re-use a URL later.
