April 1: Changing the Name of 7 Cups

User Profile: Laura
Laura April 1st, 2016

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!!!

@Laura Not to be coinfused with 8 of Cups Eight of Cups Tarot Card

Though there is something in common:

Maintain an open mind and every journey that you take will yield life changing results. Personal success and accomplishing your goals will lead you to your greatest joy.

This has to be a joke because it does not make any sense at all and is unnecessary. I am fine with 7cups (even without the "of tea") and I am sure majority of people who know of this site.

I like this change. It's quite strange but i like it! I hope we will not change our name with each massive growth step haha but

I've noticed on Google there is already a website called sevencups that sells seeds and it was pretty annoying to see people making some confusions. Apart from that, 7 Cups has always sounded really good in my head. Repeating it right now and comparing it to how 8 Cups sound it's definitely better. But I'm sure we will all adjust and learn to care and love it as much as before.

I still think of our website as Cups of Tea. Be them 7 or 8. Hooray!

@Laura @KrinkTheMellowUnicorn tagging you here as I love you seeing my feedback :)
