No, I just changed the name for a bit.

Perhaps I could have that as an entry possible in my settings. With sufficient karma you get to rename the site.




Can you do me a favor and change the word "News" to "Important Work Site".


Why stop there?

How about "User Acceptance Testing - Phase III Results". I won't have to alt-tab so much.

Hell, maybe pg can make the whole site look like an IDE.



Added title rename to my GM script: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/25039


Given all the complaints about the increasing popularity of the site, I was more expecting "Boring News, Nothing Funny Here, Go Back to Tech Crunch" or something.


Why not call it Make Something People Want News. It might focus the mind of the posters and reduce off-topic posts. Also "Innocuous News" has the feel of an inside joke; it might lead to a recurring Ask-HN thread about the name.


Could we have it back again? I quite like it. Appeals to my somewhat odd taste.


Don't worry, it will only last for the current server process. I just changed the name in the repl.


Maybe higher karma users could change the title dynamically like they can change the top bar color?
