April 1: Changing the Name of 7 Cups
As you all know, our community continues to grow and thrive. Since starting 7 Cups, we've seen you all engage in incredible community building activities. The number of supportive conversations continues to increase. In addiition to our growth, we have been doing some market testing on the "7 Cups" name. We've been thinking about our name quite a bit. Specifically wondering: how does the "7 Cups" name represent our community? How do people identify with this name? And does this name acurately represent our growth?
The market testing results were very clear. It is time for us to adopt an updated community and site name. In addition to the market testing results, we believe the name, "7 Cups," does not accurately represent our community growth. Therefore, it is with great excitement and pride, that i'd like to announce we are changing the name of our community "8 Cups"!
In the next week, you should expect to see the following changes:
1) Site URL will redirect you to 8cups.com
2) Updates to links and general communications
3) Rename the app & new app designs to reflect name change
4) A new community logo
We are excited to move forward with this change. Thanks everyone!!!
Why stop at 8? Why not 50? I mean, if Balzac drank 50 cups a day, why can't we? :-p
@CleopatraElizabethI
I wouldn't fancy doing the washing up!
@CleopatraElizabethI
Balzac drank coffee... 50 Cups of Coffee? Wow, don't know if I could handle the people. LOL
@AutumnLeigh
Right. Coffee, not tea. But literary nerd that I am, I couldn't resist making a reference.

@ Laura There's no way this isn't an April Fool's Joke, with all the comments debunking the idea!!
@safeandsoundta
Joke spoiler
Slightly unhappy/frustrated about this change. I don't think 8cups sounds right. I also don't understand how this reflects the community. Not being rude, but what's next, when we exspand even more, will this be called 9cups, then 10cups? This will always be called 7cups to me.
Wait, is this April Fools?? I hope it is. Now I feel stupid. lol
@harrytheunicorn - sorry the joke made you feel tricked... we unicorns need to stick together!
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn- Yes we do need to stick together :) I get the funny side of the joke now. I was definately tricked. :)
@harrytheunicorn - it's like a surprise birthday party. for a moment it's horrible but if you relax and go with it, it becomes fun!
just need to realize the joke is not at your expense :)
rofl you so dont have me fooled lol
@CaringBrit
You never know....
Confession: I was seriously confused to whether it was an actual change to 8 cups, I feel so silly but very amused :)
