Hey guys,

I've been thinking...and thinking...and thinking some more about OMEC Games - and it struck me! It kinda hurt, too... Was it just me or did OMEC Games seem a little... lame? What if we're not here just for games? Kids play "games" and as we get older, our games have names and we call them by those names. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, World of Warcraft, Gears of War, RuneScape, Skyrim and so on. As we get older, we don't just play games - we entertain ourselves and build communities of people we can play alongside to maximize our entertainment and satisfy our cravings to be competitive and progressive! I want visitors to see that there's solid potential for great communities to grow here with friendships to be forged in the life-long quest for satisfying, quenching entertainment! I encourage everyone to scout people they know in search of those interested in being part of a developing community. In turn, they will scout people they know and the domino effect of recruitment will begin allowing the community to forge itself! An official website and home of OMEC Entertainment is still very much in the works, but there's no excuse to not start now. I'm sure we all talk to other people in the world besides each other on here, so we could all (including me) do more to achieve more. I can't justify allocating as much time to OMEC as I am currently unless we grow a little - I'm not asking for much, even a member here and a member there will do - something to convince me that I need to allocate more time to OMEC as I am currently. That would be epic!

OMEC Games to OMEC Entertainment

So I've now gone through and changed over many references to reflect this transition, but there's still a few old references lingering. Here's what I know about, but if you guys notice anything else, could you please post it on this thread? Much appreciated!
  • Board URL still references OMEC_Games - This is intentional, for now, as not to break members' bookmarks right away.
  • The icon beneath an OES's avatar still says "OMEC Games Staff" - I'm still deciding whether or not to remove this icon all together or make new ones.

Other than that, I believe I've caught everything else. Just so you know what I'm looking for, anything that says:
  • OMEC Games instead of OMEC Entertainment
  • OGS instead of OES (referring to OMEC Staff)
  • OGV instead of OEV (referring to OMEC Volunteers)
  • Forum Moderator instead of Forum Magistrate

Please let me know if you spot anything like that. If you spot something in a non-public location such as a forum or feature only you or a specific group have access too, please PM me the information instead. Thanks!

NOTE: I'm not looking for references in old threads or posts, but forum features such as references found in forum names, in a forum specific Forum Guide, and other places of that nature.
