Vancouver Con Puns

[Karo the Dingo]

So Ive herd that Vancouver is trying to get its self a con.

i think this is a good idea, i like the idea means we get more people to see how cool Vancouver is...

But what i don't like is the name of the Con, I dont want Vancouver to be another Furry Convention Pun.

We already have "Howloween" instead of "Halloween"
and Edmonton is trying to have a con called "Fur-EH?"
And theres "Riv-Fur" in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
And "Califur" as in "Califurnia" as in "California"


Isn't Vancouver just a little smarter then that? cant we have a better name then " VancouFUR"?

If I remember correctly there was a few name suggestions besides 'vancoufur' but came down to votes.

I totally agree with you. I like some of the puns, but it's getting old now. We need something regular like Furry Weekend Atlanta.

Something like Vancouver Fuzz Connection

...Or something else. *ahem*

Renames the Con to "omgfitjustanamewhatisthebigdeal? Con North"

[Van_Fox]

How about FurNorth? Since Vancouver is called Hollywood North.

Furcouver. ohoho LOOK GUYS I'M ORIGINAL.
I don't mind the name 'vancoufur'.

I'll keep thinking about it. Right now, I'm gonna go watch some Big bang theory.

Yeah, I'm not big on it myself, my suggestions' something more like FurWest or something else... VancouFur is... meh, to me. *shrugs*

[Coal Silvermuzzle]

  Well there were meetings held and name suggestions asked for. Not many came in so out of the names that were put in Vancoufur was the one voted for. The main point at this time is Vancouver is going to have a furry convention next year. We are taking name and numbers for those who would like to help, you can post your offer of help on the convention thread.

One would suggest that some more name options would have come out had the fact there was going to be a name chosen been posted here and suggestions solicited. Unless I missed it, the first I heard that a name had been chosen was after the fact.

I think its passed the point to change the name now

I think its passed the point to change the name now

Indeed with three public meetings over the past 3 months, it's far past the point of "hey lets name this gathering". I don't mean to be an ass, but you guys are too late to be chipping in ideas now..

[Karo the Dingo]

I didnt ever think i could ever change the name. i just wanted to point this out.

I'm not part of the comity or whatever. i don't have any right to change the name, or to discus it.
