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!!!
This thread... Oh dear... Hahaha. While we are at it, I suggest a logo change in which we put 8 cats in the tea cup. :D
@PolarCat I second THIS!!!! oh my gosh! hahaha
@Harquinn909
I EIGTH this (stolen from @KrinkTheMellowUnicorn ) or maybe I ate it... Who knows...
@PolarCat - 8cats - i love it!
@PolarCat hahaha I would love that so much! you have no idea :3
@PolarCat
Something like this?

@Mark5 This is essentially what I had in mind. Excellent. @Laura @Krinkthemellowunicorn What do you think? :D
@PolarCat - the internet loves cats!
@Mark5
8 cats in 1 cup? Maybe we should use 8 cups, or even 7 (one could buddy up, right?) As long as we don't have 2 cats in 1 cup, we'll be alright

@Geecat
I can't see it. You will have to upload it somewhere like imgur or picpaste and share the link here. :)
@PolarCat Ooops! okay, try this :) https://imgur.com/ORv66g9

@Geecat LOL This is awesome. Nice design. Another one to consider @Laura
hahahahahahahahahahaha
Y'all are WONDERFUL!
@Annie
Y'all, love the southern!
@PolarCat a great idea ?may be 8 different breeds! :p
@PolarCat but why just 8 cats?may be a cup representing all the 7 other cups?
Then after nobody likes 8 Cups and still prefers 7 Cups you can skip 9 Cups and go straight to 10 Cups.
Vista Cups wasn't even that bad.. :')
@MxBearyButterfly Cups 95 was the worst, though!
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
Most of the tea went cold before they finished filling them all
@KrinkTheMellowUnicorn
Imagine all that tea
@MxBearyButterfly
...OKAY that reminded me of something the way you put it......
Referencing on that.... reminds me of windows 7 going to windows 8..then skipping windows 9 going straight at 10... anyone getting how im comparing? ..no? okay -gives cookies-
anyways. Interesting . 8 Cups. well then.
Change #5: All who post comments to this thread must change their pictures or avatars to..............eeeerrrmmm.........a CAMEL for 24 hours because Laura got a camel through the eye of a needle with this one. (This would include me, but worth it for the huge smile I got reading it!!!)
@Laura Considering this is April 1, I dont believe this farther than i can spit.
Apparently, Laura was seen making some sandwiches for the 'test group', a collective of 'teabags' on the name change.
That's one way to upset the spoons and saucers!! lol
10 would be better...10 cups..because 10 is nice round number. That we, if we need to expand...we can increase it each time by 10 more...20 cups, 30 cups...or maybe we should go exponetially from 10 cups...100 cups...1000 cups...yeah, that's more like it! LOL Good one Laura...Happy April Fools Day!!! BTW, did Glenn put you up to this??? LOL
@Laura it will alwaysbe 7 cups to me. but yay as long as i still have it i'm fine
''7cups does not accurately represent our community growth''
OKAY BUT HOW IS 8CUPS ANY BETTER?
I think it's an April Fools prank because that sure doesn't make any sense
@Marioma
Shh.. Don't ruin the joke!
Definitely April's Fool's joke. :') ..right? 8cups sounds awkward anyway.
@moonchild29
1 cup would be awkward, thankfully we have tons more than 2 users
