Li & ib

[Beardo]

From now on, please refer to IslamicBoard as IB. We are NOT affiliated with Load-Islam or their articles/etc. I'd like to make that clear.

[Cabdullahi]

hopefully LI will be packed with users at ramadan

Insha'Allah it will be. We will be removing forums during Ramadhan I think though. 100% purely Islam!

[Danah]

IB instead of LI?
this is one of the change I will never like here...we used to it as LI

anyways, khair inshaAllah, but I think that this will need a long time to make "all" members use to the new change

:ooh: The links at the top changed too imsad :p
I was used to it as Li but Inshallah will change to IB now

[Danah]

^ oh I didnt notice that :(

I think bro ehafiz want to force us to be used to the new change, good try brother :)

[Far7an]

You might want to do some housekeeping and get rid of the "Load-Islam" references here. :skeleton:

Where?

[Beardo]

I really didn't expect negative responses to this change, but here's the real reason I changed it.

We do not have any control over Load-Islam, and there are too many articles etc to review. If anything has been made in error, then we are to some extent liable for it. I believe this excuse is reasonable and I hope you guys understand!

we understand the reason of change brother before u clarify things
but you know, people tend always to resist changes.....especially for those who had been here for years.
just give us sometime to get use to the new change, and inshaAllah everything will be fine

[Beardo]

No! I shall ban every and any member that says LI instead of IB. And I shall put their picture and full name/lineage on the wall of shame immediately.

[Danah]

^ then u will end up being alone in the forum!!! <_<
I said give us sometime Mr. Admin!!

[AabiruSabeel]

:sl:

Is it required to have IB before IslamicBoard? We can simply have IslamicBoard, with no initials...
Btw, the Aria skin still has the Load-Islam link in the header.

[Na7lah]

IB? :ermm: That's gona take me forever to get used to :hiding:

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

:salamext:

Tayyib, but I feel IB Forum is a better choice than IB Islamic Forum, IMHO, since the word 'Islam' is being repeated twice which sounds a little strange.

[ژاله]

make this thread sticky then.

[Strzelecki]

The LI hall of shame? ;)

...I had to.

[syilla]

IB sounds like to IT to me... :hiding:

no no no....

[Kas1m]

^yes i was thinking of that too. The word islam is hidden and if you are talking to somebody and saying IB forum...first thing comes in mind of some computer tech forum...
Load islam islamic forum or LI islamic forum, you can say but Islamic Board Islamic forum doesnt sound right in a sentence structural way
Or you can leave IB and just say by full name that is Islamic Board which is fine also

[crayon]

IB forums.. that'll make me think of international baccalaureate. :><:

Just call it IslamicBoard, no need for IB Islamic Forums.

[Ummu Sufyaan]

:sl:
old is gold. re-affiliate yourselves with load Islam, and being back LI.

[glo]

From now on, please refer to IslamicBoard as IB. We are NOT affiliated with Load-Islam or their articles/etc. I'd like to make that clear.

Oh dear, it will take me a while to get used to not calling it LI anymore ... :hiding:

Out of interest, who or what is Load-Islam, and why the strong differentiation/separation from it? Are there disagreements with Load-Islam? What's wrong with their articles etc?

The font is too small.

If you don't like IB just call it Islamicboard. All Islamic Forums feel the need to abbreviate their names.

UF, IF, LI, UI, US, IA......

[- IqRa -]

LI is better. You can't change it without consulting and getting unanimous vote of members, especially the ones that have been here for over 3/4 years!!! :raging::raging::raging::raging::raging::raging:

You got good arguments for the change. IB isn't bad, oh c'mon people.

No! I shall ban every and any member that says LI instead of IB. And I shall put their picture and full name/lineage on the wall of shame immediately.

Hahaha.

Hey, I'm a supporter, doesn't bother me. I always used to get confused when the url said "islamicboard.com" and we said LI, which was "load-islam" and I couldn't remember ever going to that site.

IB forums.. that'll make me think of international baccalaureate. :><:

Just call it IslamicBoard, no need for IB Islamic Forums.

Gosh, I thought exactly the same! You genius you. :p Well, we are international!

But it does look... Rather professional with two capital letters, no?

Faiza. it's like making sure. ;D Islamic Board Islamic Forum - dare to not GET it!

[Danah]

okay after seeing all the negative comments about the change after my post....I am relieved that I am not the only one who didn't like the change :)

but we will get to use to it with time....so take it easy members!

[glo]

The font is too small.

We are disassociating ourselves from Load-Islam because their font is too small??? Surely not! ;D

Is there a more plausible explanation?

Is it to do with funding of the site? Or with the content?

[ardianto]

I see, discussion forum in Load-Islam is still IslamicBoard.

[MinAhlilHadeeth]

IB forums.. that'll make me think of international baccalaureate. :><:

I agree, IslamicBoard sounds better. Islamic Bulletin Islamic Forum sounds quite odd to me.

bro , u can't be serious. We are used to say LI and in other forums when see known screen names we ask : are you from LI ? Now we have to ask : are you from IB ? Allow us some time to adjust with the new name .

lol @ the font being too small. ;D But the real reason is because I don't want the misconception that we are correlated with Load-Islam itself. I don't want to go into too much depth about why we are doing this, but I think it should suffice to say that we are two separate entities, and for several reasons, we don't want people thinking that we support (or unsupport) the articles posted on Load-Islam. I haven't gone through it myself, which is why I am taking this necessary action.

No, it is not to do with funding. Yes, it is to do with content.

Hope that answers your question!

I think we can name is IslamicBoard Forum instead of the current IB Islamic Forum.

I personally cannot understand why this is such a big issue to you all lol.

Thank you for your explanation, eHafiz.

As for your last comment, I think like most people we fear change!! :hmm::exhausted:hiding:

Well, as much as I would like to do that, we can't. The reason being, with "IslamicBoard" we have SEO (search engine optimization) and high ranks. What we CAN do, if it makes you all happy, is have a link redirect to IslamicBoard.com. But we can't have IslamicBoard.com link to something else.

Why no one told me about this? :raging::embarrass:D

Sigh, I never understood what LI ever was. :/

[KiWi]

*sigh*
i liked LI better :(

[Al-Zaara]

I personally cannot understand why this is such a big issue to you all lol.

'Cause us members of this forum need a hype of some sort every now and then to keep them happy. Now it's the "anti-IB" hype. I recall the bunny-signature hype, was fun. And then there were many more I can't remember at the moment.

[GuestFellow]

Yeah I'm happy with this change.

I B Great.

And now elaipostburps can go to the deepest darkest pits of blogosphere trash can.

i think ib is not too bad, but it's not so catchy-or perhaps too catchy?
maybe we can come up with an entirely new two letter name?

[Ramisa]

:sl:

I can see two sides of this coin...:skeleton: both correct in their perspective;here are the views:

Admin br:Rashads view: its for the best that we don't get associated with LI and it's articles. It's complex but if you were in my place you would understand,inshallah.

Majority of members view(oldtimers): we are the older members of this forum,and demand a rechange. (but the thing is,that they don't understand the admins perspective).

:hmm: I hope I summarized the main points...here's my solution: You(majority of members against the name change) should put yourself in the admins perspective and try to imagine the trouble he may be associated because of LI if the name remained.

[ژاله]

^ lets preserve at least a single relic of the good old LI.

[☆ღUmm Uthmanღ☆]

am i gonna be banned for that below my name?:hmm::phew:raging::hiding:

[- IqRa -]

IB is nasty :(

[Ramisa]

:sl:

^ That may be true but..it was changed to avoid a legal matter(possibly)..rather have a name change than get associated with another web...

:w:

[Güven]

ahhh now I see why everyone is saying IB instead of LI. :><:


though Im still an

I B Moderator. :hmm:

[Beardo]

Hmm... You're right. It was so small, hard to catch.

[Güven]

are you going to change that too? :><:

[Woodrow]

No! I shall ban every and any member that says LI instead of IB. And I shall put their picture and full name/lineage on the wall of shame immediately.

Do you realize how long it took me to learn how to spell the other name and now I have to learn how to spell IB.

[Muhammad]

:sl:

I didn't realise we had a debate about this! Well I certainly sympathise with those finding it difficult to accept the change. But Insha'Allaah with time we will just learn to accept it. :smile:

[Beardo]

IB is nasty :(

:exhausted

I'll keep the LI on the user titles for a little longer... Malaak has a point. It's the only piece left from 5 years ago when the forum first started.

Though, n00bs will be like "I'm an LI member on IB.. :phew "

[Woodrow]

Keep it IB now I finally learned how to spell Eye Bee and I am too old to relearn how to spell the old name.

Eye Bee (IB), ;D

IB is tooo small fonts, can you modify it little bigger that we could catch it?

[Humbler_359]

Don't make me work on it all over again :hmm: It was long. If I can read it... I guess almost everybody else can, too :ermm:

I seee... You don't have to do it. I suggest, that's all. :hiding:

You are supposed to be LI oldtimer 2005- why IB? :exhausted

Btw, we can call it IB or LI. :) I call it IB, though.

How come out of all members and admins, it says "LI Adminstrator" under your nic? :-\

I prefer Li, since IB sounds a lil :-\ geeky, ofcourse!

And since i ever joined i thought it was LB instead of IB :-\, silly mistakes i guess
