You can change my vote to a "yes" if you use "Southwest" instead of some other lame "creative" name.

I guess Cactus Corner would be a no go then!

And, I'll be next in line.

For those of us who actually live in the southwestern United States, we call it the "Southwest." The term is more than just a "generic" geographic direction on the map, it also signifies a distinct regional culture and atmosphere that exists here (the region) and nowhere else - it permeates everything. From the architectural aesthetics, local art, food, geography, terrain, etc.

To be consistent with the other forums I would have to call it "Southwestern States", unless I make the other forums consistent with Southwest instead.

Dont fuck this up by trying to get all cutesey. Southwest. Not southwest forum, southwest cities, southwest area, JUST SOUTHWEST.

You dont need it to be "consistent" with other forums. It isn't another forum so it doesn't need to be like them. Jeeeeeez, OCD much?

They won't really care anyway, I like consistency, and yes this will remain Mountain West.

Just call it Southwest and let AZ go. You'll probably want to sticky every thread in the new subforum as well as some of our AZ brethren have a tough time looking through threads.

I'll miss checking up on the ASU DT campus updates.

Wait, what? Isn't this subform already called "Mountain West" not "Mountain West States"? So just call it "Southwest".

Like oliveurban said, we tell people we live in the southwest not the southwestern states. Please dont use an incorrect term for the sake of consistency. That would be like me calling phoenix "New Phoenix" to be consistent with new york, new orleans, etc. It may be consistent, but it is still wrong.

I know how you operate anyhow... You make arbritrary decisions and nobody has a say so there is no point in me even trying to explain this to you.

I think a few threads have been left in the old Mountain West. Waterworld Safari reconstruction, East Valley thread, etc.
