Community Builder: In recognition of those who have helped build the AFF community. - Issue reason: Raptor: For Continued, and prolonged service to the wider Ford Community 
Default Rename "The Bar" Competition

Following on from a suggestion we are going to run a competition to rename this forum as well as try and gather your views on what it is about this area of the forum that you find appealing.

"The Bar" has no real automotive connection as a name so we are looking for suggestions that are both in keeping with the spirit of what this forum is about and which give some idea as to what the area is about.

This thread will run until the end of the month and the admin team will select a number of the suggestions for inclusion in a voting thread. The winner will receive an AFF Prize Pack.

As well as your suggestions please tell us what you like about this area - you can link to examples of threads or posts that have interested you and after the forum is renamed some of these will form a sticky thread as useful things for new (and existing) members to browse.

Cheers
Admin Team

How about "The Blueoval Bar"
Still keeps with the current name just a bit rejuvenated closer to what this forum is about.

How about "V8 Supercars"?

That is a place where you see things that many Ford enthusiasts talk about but really has very little to do with Ford motor vehicles....

Oh, you want sensible answers.....

How about "off street parking"?

This is a place that is frequented by many car owners but is used for engaging in activities concerning almost everything EXCEPT the actual car.
