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 ...
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?
Peace glo
Here I stand.
I can do no other.
May God help me.
Amen.
Come, let us worship and bow down •
and kneel before the Lord our Maker

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

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.

Gosh, I thought exactly the same! You genius you. Well, we are international!
But it does look... Rather professional with two capital letters, no?
Faiza. it's like making sure. Islamic Board Islamic Forum - dare to not GET it!

We are disassociating ourselves from Load-Islam because their font is too small??? Surely not!
Is there a more plausible explanation?
Is it to do with funding of the site? Or with the content?
Glo, I think brother eHafiz explained it in this post;

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!
O Allah Wash away my sins with the water of snow and hail, and cleanse my heart from sin as a white garment is cleansed from filth, and put a great distance between me and my sins, as great as the distance You have made between the East and the West.”
Someone said to the Prophet, "Pray to God against the idolaters and curse them." The Prophet replied, "I have been sent to show mercy and have not been sent to curse." (Muslim)

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. 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.
