April 6, 200719 yr Many of you know that I run a little message board specifically for my hometown. I have been trying to think of a title for it, well besides the domain name, and I had an idea last night, but I am not quite sure how to say it. I wanted to describe it as something like "The voice of a City" or "The Voice of the City's people", or "the voice of the common people" or something like that... Basically what I want to hear is if "common" is a good word to use or not, or just stick with something else. Thoughts?
April 6, 200719 yr How about just being realistic and calling it "The Voice Of 6 Or 7 People?" I think the phrase "common people" has a negative connotation for whatever reason, so I think I'd steer away from it. How about just using something like "The Voice Of ________" (whatever community, county, town, region you're targeting)?

April 7, 200719 yr Don't use "common". Do use "The Spoon River b****fest". Everyone will approve. Promise.
April 7, 200719 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) How about "The Voice of Everyday City"? Honestly, that sounds like an awkward translation from a 1970's-era appliance manual....
April 7, 200719 yr QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Apr 7, 2007 -> 10:43 AM) How about "The Voice of Everyday City"? I can't think of a way to make the "common people" or "everyday people" thing sound good. AND I don't really have any other suggestions for you, so I'm just going to leave now.
