the whole name is cringe, but the "wholesomeness" part especially so

what i'd prefer instead:
  • literally anything else

who said they needed meaning. the sat decided they didnt and no one cared

imo the only reason why the regular name changes even work is because you can always call the forum ADTRW, which gives it a consistent identity. if you took that away, it'd just be lame

as long as saclopedia exists the name's original meaning is still there

why does 'anime forum' need an identity

My bookmark for this subforum is still VEGETA from whatever short period of time that was the name of this place. We havent always been ADTRW and don't need to always be.
