Good to hear from you, methos. 
Yep, I've noticed we were lacking that feature in the Rumbles for some reason. We can look into that.
To sum it up briefly: Back when this forum was first created, I very much agreed with Treach's disapproval of the forum using the "ElectricFerret" name, and I told Pey that I wasn't going to be joining as long as it had that name. Pey originally conceded that using that name had been a bad idea, and told me on facebook that the name was going to be changed "over the weekend." I offered to help pay for the cost of doing so, if there was a price to pay, but he said that the finances of it wasn't a problem.
More than a month after that conversation, I nudged Pey on facebook again, asking him if the name change was actually going to happen, or if I should just give up on waiting for that and look for "a new place to hang out." His response was that I should probably look into that latter option.
Neither my negative opinion on using the name, nor the name of the forum, has changed in the almost 2 years since then, so my reason for not wanting to create an account still exists, given more reason by Pey flat out lying to me about the name change.
I don't know about Pey lying about changing the forum name, but if that's the only reason you haven't registered here yet, you may have noticed that the forum's title has already been changed for some time, as voted and agreed upon by the community, and for the title, IIRC, that you originally suggested.
The only place it hasn't been changed yet is in the web address itself, and I can try to reach out to pey to see what's going on with that. Admittedly, though, a somewhat unexpected advantage to having kept the address as is, though, is that it's made it a bit easier for many of the old EF users to find this new forum.
