If you have to change it, make it literally anything other than a shounen ref or meme. Note how nobody has complained about the hyouge mono ref and in fact many people cherish it. The title should point people toward true classics instead of the popular normie choice.

Idea: instead of a description its a link to an anime op and it changes every week from a randomized list of user suggestions.

this, in the wake of recent events it seems like a good idea for adtrw to distance itself from juvenile media like shonen, fate and vtubers and embrace the maturity of hyouge mono. a series about appreciating art would also help give adtrw some much needed cachet after yet another series of embarrassing events

You could probably link it to one of those sites that plays a random one. Take out the middle man.

i love hyouge mono but i don't think it has one tenth of the artistry or perhaps the erudition necessary compared to the complete works of Nasu Kinoko

VEGETA or ANIME, I've always hated this subforum name, both for the nasty meaning, and how hard it is to remember the acronym. I go months without remembering to check because its not labeled as something that makes sense.

Wildcard suggestion:

I can't personally see ADTRW without associating it with the original meaning. If it were just me, it would just be oh well whatever, but if it bothers other people as well then the valiant effort people have put towards backronyms is sort of in vain.

Also I totally forgot the anime forum was ever called VEGETA, but now that I remember it I also remember loving that name.
