J-Land No More???

So, here we are (at least some of us).

As a person who works in an environment where change is non-stop, this has been a learning experience. I actually find some aspects of this new home, that frankly, are not too bad :o)

In order to make a clean break from AOL Journals, I think we need a different name than J-Land. I acknowledge that there are a lot of fond memories in J-Land, but we need to create new memories here, both with old friends and some new friends. I notice that I have some new "followers" that were not part of AOL, so again, I say, lets make a new start.

So, I recommend we retire the J-Land moniker, and come up with a new one.

I got the following idea from an entry at Coastal Comfort II. I say, lets call ourself "Spotters" in honor of our new home at BlogSpot. Let me know what you think, or leave a comment with an different suggestion.

  1. I'm cool with Spotters! I read a great comment from Mort over on AOL where he wrote that J-Land isn't a place...it's all of us. We may have moved to a different forum, but that doesn't mean we can't keep the same sense of community we had over there. I know it's been rather shocking, but I have to say, I'm getting a bit of a charge out of trying something new!

  2. It's going to take a while before we can let go of that name J-Land I think, but I agree that it will be better for us if we do. I think Spotters is cute, and I can't think of anything any better. I'm already getting a sense of "home" and "comfort" when I look at my blog page because of the pics and names in my sidebar.

  6. we are all learning and I agree JLand is something we should cherish but we need to move on. I think we will like it here once we get the hang of it.

  7. "Spotters" I like. It's much better than "bloggers." Besides it rhymes with squatters, plotters, knotters and yachters. I say let's go with spotters.

    Bucko "spotters": is not winning unanimous approval. You don't want to go with "googlers" do you?
