Izfas Refresh?

Hello everybody :0

I've noticed this and it bothers me a little bit. Half of the people that refer to this group call it "IZFAS". The other half refers to it as "IZFAS Refresh". This name was made a little while ago when I had the Invisionfree forum and Zetaboards just swooped in and took the site without letting us keep our layout. When the new Zetaboards layout was made, Scoo decided to stick the "Refresh" at the end of our name.

Honestly, I see no point. We have a lot of the same staff. The new staff that is here would have applied at the IZFAS titled "IZFAS" anyway - this is not a new group. The only difference was that the head admin changed when I left temporarily, and even that's the same again. We have the same objective. It's just a corny-sounding extra word xD Unless the name "refresh" marks the day that we all decided to buy a delicious soda and drank it all at the same time and we found the soda to be very refreshing..."refresh" doesn't really apply here, does it? I'd rather stick "awesome" at the end or something. That is much more flattering. I don't know about you, but I am not refreshing if you drink me.

So, I guess I'm just making this announcement to ask you to please stop calling it "refresh". It's as irritating to me as someone who uses 7331 all the time, or someone who keeps making "that's what she said" jokes. We are "IZFAS". Invader Zim Fan Animated Series. That's it. Just that :3

Thank you!

Interesting Argument, I never really called the IZFAS refresh anyway. I would agree though, IZFAS is much simpler.

swiblet what you said is pretty sharp but I agree with you that "refresh" is
irritating. I would call "IZFAS information" or something, but I think "refresh" would not have to go in the name. :X3:

I never thought about it much, I just thought that since the original crew wasn't complete it would be kind of something like the Traveling Wilburys...or something. But I guess it's now like Pink Floyd that, even without Roger Waters, Nick Mason, and Syd Barrett, it still called itself Pink Floyd in the 80's and not: "the new Pink Floyd with less members from the original band".

In any case, I just say "IZFAS", and when I refer to the section or the videos (post 2006), that's when I add "Refresh", but it's hardly ever.

I see. Even if there's no point in calling the forum that, lets face it, what we're doing is a refreshment of not only Shwartz's and your IZFAS, so at some extent don't you think we've had a bit of a refreshment. Well, I'm not going to start a 5 page debate here, because, honestly, wouldn't you agree if I said this is a bit of a useless announcement? If you and others don't refer to IZFAS as IZFAS Refresh so be it. If anything, I haven't seen one person call the new forum IZFAS Refresh up from the time I started until now, so you're pretty much holding an already won debate. XD
Unless you're merely discussing your views that is.

That's all I have to say..

I never cared a lot about what it's called. It's not like I knew the "original" IZFAS, that's why this one has always been the IZFAS for me.

Josheh, yes, people are calling it Refresh. It's not the that, which bothers me, but also that half call it Refresh and half don't. It's like...which one are we? We need to keep the same identity all the while, and "refresh" just kills that. If I joined and heard the group being called "IZFAS Refresh", I'd be like "Ah...so where's the real IZFAS? I'd rather join the originals."

And like I said, "refresh" sounds silly. Like a soda advertisement. I'm glad that most of the commenters don't call us that ^^ Hopefully, this little announcement will make people stop calling it that for good.

Now that I think of it, Cola has came to the mind when thinking of the forum. However, we should never have to call it that again if we don't wish to, and some may wish to, but then again, what harm does it actually do, even if everyone of us hated it, it would still remain our professional name = thus having the YouTube account being dubbed that, but I suppose that's needed to show some refreshment from the time when it was the first crews' animation (TMHSE).

But concidering that's your overall objective of this thread, then all right, if nobody's going with refresh, nor will I.

I always wondered what the Refresh meant. But in reality, I don't have any problem with the name at all, I just call it IZFAS. But its probably better to change it rather that letting the forum sound like a soda brand slogan.

I always thought of the Refresh in this case to be like internet refresh or something like that. I would just call it IZFAS for simplicity, but whatevr works for you guys, works for me

I think I have only heard IZFAS Refresh once or twice, I like that we should just stick to IZFAS as said. It sounds nicer if you ask me. Personally I don't think such amazingness as IZFAS should be thought of as a bubbly drink you can get from the store. xD

I pretty much just agreed with most of what everyone else had posted and said so... yeah.

*shrug* I really don't even see why it's such a big issue, sorry. xD I think we can call it whatever we like: some say Invader Zim Fan Animated series, others say IZFAS, others say IZFAS Refresh, it's still IZFAS no matter what. I'm sorry, but I decided to stick calling it however I feel at the moment. |D

It like saying: "It's not Puerto Rico, it's Borinken, no, it's San Juan", or "It's not ELO, it's Electric Light Orchestra". Doesn't matter, you're talking about the same place/thing. If the person doesn't get it, you can explain, but frankly, makes no sense to me as to why make such a big deal over a name.
