locked POLL: Change Archives to Messages?

Should we change the name Archives to Messages?

Thanks,

Hi

I vote yes - Messages.

Clearer than Archives. 

It is familiar - YahooGroups uses Messages within the body of the page, as in “3 messages added in the last 7 days” and “New Messages”. Not “Conversations” which YG uses for its dropdown menu.

That sounds like a good alternative. I think I'd like Message Archives a bit better.  Gee, too bad there's not a POLL function on this site. (VBG)

I think is is clearer to the typical group users. - Dano

I vote yes. Messages makes more sense. When I think of Archives, I think of something in storage, historical documents, and such.

I think so. I think that would alleviate a lot of confusion. I also think of archives as older messages not current threads being posted in.


So I vote Yes.

I'd agree as well.

I prefer "Messages" to "Archives" as well.  Archives comes from the listserv practice where it's assumed everyone gets mail, and no one has to look at old messages unless they're really wanting to look at OLD messages.  Messages is better when there may be some people who don't get mail and just want to read on the web.

Can I add a "like" or a "+1" to John's message?
