So does another very offensive word for gay people starting with F. Doesn't make it ok.

@Toastface @supertobi @giggls @scy Would anybody be interested in a rebranding fork? We leave everything as it us, but change the logo, name, which means making a new repo, doing some changes to the website contents, registering a new url, and then advertise in thr community why the change.

@fallbackerik @Toastface @supertobi @giggls @scy and also change the plug-in API, rewrite 10,000+ plug-ins and scripts, courses, documentation, 70+ language translations, find hosting for > 100K downloads/day...

Changing the name is a possibility for the future; for now we have what we have. A hostile fork is always possible, but you do need a team of developers.

I understand the scope of work and don't expect miracles. Perhaps rewording your FAQ would make it seem a little less hostile to the idea that the name might be inappropriate.

You could just drop the G from the abbreviation, the word "IMP" would work fine as it's a mischievous fairy.

I mean this in a really positive way: you have an army of people waiting to promote you and support you, but they're being held back because of the letter G. It would be a tiny change and massive reward for you 🙂
