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!!!

This has to be an April Fools joke, there's reasoning & logic as to why this site was named "7Cups", I don't believe it :P

@akaAlex I think you could be right.

I still think eleven cups has a nice ring to it. :)

I know am late to the party but two reasons for change that I can think of first can be 8chan agreeing to support us if we are 8cups :p,

Or because we all are always hungry and talking about nomming food (and at times oldies ) in the listener rooms so ate cups

This is a matter of fate,

That now we are 8,

Originally seven ,

We were in heaven,

Happy April fools to those who took the bait

I think we should change it to 10cups. Make it nice round number.

@Dancernhealer - I forgot to mention the new line to the poem.

"And the eighth cup shall be called Poochy, and he shall be our Poochy." ;)

At first I fell for this one...I also fell for the Boy Scout one about Puppy Scouts. LOL!

I don't usually fall for April Fool's pranks quite so easily, but I was especially gullible this year or the jokes were really well executed. I think it must have been the latter. Well done! And toooooooo funny!

@Emily619, Noooooooo, I don't like 8 Cups. 7 Cups has a nicer ring to it. But I believe it is a joke from what was mentioned earlier in this thread. :D Whew!
