I was tossing this around in my head, but it doesn't seem important enough to put in a suggestions thread, so I'm curious as to what others think.
This forum brings a lot of interesting discussion, but I wonder if the name scares some people away. I really hadn't thought about Veganism when I started watching the VA's vids, as I just stumbled upon them. I wonder how many Vegans hadn't thought of Atheism, but found themselves on the forum based on the Vegan aspect.
Would a name change bring in more people, and would this be a good thing? Even if a name change were to be considered, I think an new name should prominently feature the VeganAtheist theme. (Along the lines of Discussions by VeganAtheist)
Any thoughts on this? I'd love to hear everyone's opinion, especially people new to the forum.

Something like "discussions" could be good, since it focuses on the exchange part.
Maybe something about ethics and discussions. It would help avoid alienating non-atheists and non-vegans, who could then be exposed to these ideas after they sign up and discuss them.
Then we could have kind of a topic word cloud at the top highlighting areas of discussion, like religion/atheism and veganism.
One of my thoughts, which I mentioned to TVA, is TheVeganAtheist as a subforum. Another benefit would be we could also invite other youtubers to share and promote the community too, without fear that it would alienate their viewer bases.
