For the record, i really like this new board, too, and think it most closely resembles the old board. Since the name seems to be up in the air, i was wondering if maybe we could have a thread for suggestions to name this new place? then maybe maybe have a poll for everybody to pick their favorite from what's nominated? having said that and in that spirit, i have a suggestion. what about:
SqualorBusters
It's not squalor survivors and yet, it's simple and still has the grab that squalor suvivors had for people looking to identify with us. And maybe we could make the One Step at a Time our community motto.
Just my thoughts, Fivecat
PS. also want to echo everyone's cudo's and thanks to missy for setting this place up. I think alot of SS'ers are going to feel very comfortable here .

I like that name as it is....it still mentions the word- squalor. And it reminds me that one step at a time is what is needed to succeed in fighting squalor. The name of the group is encouraging to me.
Blessings

I will sticky this to the top, and wait a few days, so everyone can chime in a suggestion and then we can make a poll. take one step at a time was so totally off the top of my head, i didn't really take time to think about it, i just needed something to put down as the address. i threw this website together, but didn't actually think it would 'stick', so i am shocked that i am moderator! ... but i'm ok with it, as long as i can share the load with someone.

i threw this website together, but didn't actually think it would 'stick' Heh. Famous last words, m'dear. Squalor Busters works, I think. And to keep the URL in the title, something like "Squalor Busters: Take One Step at a Time" might fit the bill.

ayyyyyyy...i am hesitant to speak out but shall do so since you are asking for ideas and comments. I don't like Squalor Busters. I always associate busters with either ghost busters, the silly movie or even with the naughty gang of my childhood days who called them selves "the buster boys". It may not have that association for others but it does for me. Then there is the word bust in there which also sounds violent. .. or for some it might mean breasts may i suggest as alternates, before that gets too ingrained: Stepping out of Squalor Set on Surviving Squalor Surfacing from Squalor [/b][/color] the latter name was inspired by the butterfly that was the symbol of SS Thank you for reading and considering my suggestions.

I think all the suggestions are great - but my favorite is from ramatama:
I like: Stepping Out of Squalor
I think it has a great proactive, hopeful ring to it. I also like the idea of keeping the one step at a time and think it would work well with that name.
"Stepping Out of Squalor: Take One Step at a Time"
That's my two cents.

Hmmmm. . .
Squalor Busters has the advantage of being short and memorable, but it sounds to me like a cleaning company, rather than a forum of individuals supporting each other as they work their way out of their own squalor and learn to maintain their homes.
I'd really like the present title, reversed, so that it reads
Getting Out of Squalor: Taking One Step at a Time
so that the name is still reasonably connected to the present URL.

I'm up for whatever name makes people most comfortable. A name just popped into my head:
Squalor to Serenity: Taking One Step at a Time.
best, artsygal

Or how about From Squalor to Serenity (like From Here to Eternity)? I really like your suggestion, artsygal.

Dear Friend: you have created something very special here: stepping in, stepping up to the plate, stepping forward, stepping out of your comfort zone: I think therefore STEP should somewhere be part of the name. STEP as in: we want to be: SUPPORTIVE THOUGHTFUL ENCOURAGING PERSONAL and all sorts of other examples. I am sooooo thrilled about your creation here. things are definitely STICKING! Hurrah and rah rah for our new site whatever the name! Luv from Script

Let's find something short and sweet, but to the point... something with squalor in its name... There are several good suggestions. As long as we continue to find support, encouragement, and a gentle nudge on this site, I'm comfortable with calling it anything you'd like.
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet....
