• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

What IS our name??

While we are at it, can we all decide on how we are going to spell bretheren? OK I just looked it up, apparently brethren is the proper spelling.
love ya all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Theres a story behind the misspell... but at this point, it has been corrected. The primary domain name is Bandera Brethren. We have 3

BBQ-Brethren.com
Bandera-Brethren.com
and the old one "Bandera-Bretheren".com

I wanted us to hash out some issues at the bash, but we never really were able to talk to serious. One of the things was to change our name to BBQ-Brethren.. since we are not only banderas anymore. But to answer gregs question.. We are "The Brethren". Spelled properly. I just havent gotten a chance to change the graphic which is used as a header on the web pages. But everwhere else, its been corrected.

So name change??? BBQ-Brethren??? what ya think??
 
I kinda like Bandera Brethren, even if we don't all have Banderas anymore. Isn't Bandera a pretty heavy BBQ town in Texas?

But hey, I'll be here no matter what you call us so knock yourselves out with whatever name you'd like.
 
i only thought BBQ-Brethren so it denotes what we are better. I tell people about the site and they say "what the hell is a Bandera?". thats why i left both domain names though, so with people outside of the "bandera" circle, we can jsut say "BBQ-brethren.com" and they will remember it easier. But for those who know what the Bandera is, we still have that name.
 
BBQ-Brethren works for me, too.

Bandera is a small town kinda west of San Antonio -- not known for much except ranching -- there are some B&Bs, restaurants, etc. around. It is pretty laid back -- kinda like the brethren (us!).

Bandera Brethren has a ring to it but since we have moved on from being relatively exclusively Bandera owners it might be time to move on to a group name that does reflect what we do rather than the equipment we use. Good 'que is the name of the game :D
 
With the assortment of cookers that the members now have, I think BBQ-Brethren makes more since.
So I vote for bbq-brethren.
Gary :D
 
BBQ-Brethren sounds good. I am going to add a WSM to keep my Bandera company so a generic "BBQ" works!
 
Since a lot of us have other smokers now, BBQ-Brethren fits. Love that Backwoods Smoker.

but Phil, if it weren't for our BANDERA'S we would've never gotten together online (on one site)...and i must admit, we are a cool and unique collection of individuals! so my vote is to remain faithful to our namesake...the BANDERA! besides, to call ourselves BBQ Brethren ain't exactly right...half the time we grill, and half the time we smoke. something that makes our BANDERA what it is...half griller, and half smoker!

hope i'm not too late.

UHH, as Neil would tell you I'm old... :) What was the question again???? :? :wink:
Harry
Bandera Brethren
But not limited to

I was once asked to write a job description for myself, and I included that line "but not limited to" I was told to remove it, so it's been an on going joke where I work. Seems that it works here too..... :lol:

Moved this to qtalk guys.... 1- so it dont get pruned.. and 2 to get an idea of the name to go on our tee shirts. Logo will be ready this week probably. So aside from the 97 other names,(ok, Stange but Q?) its between BBQ-Brethren and Bandera Brethren. Any more thoughts?

there are a couple of old addages that we need to remember Phil:

you always leave with the one that brung ya'.

and

don't fix it, if it ain't broke!!
 
One last thought on that name thing. They don't make em anymore do they? That would exclude new membership. I prefer BBQ Brethren, all encompassing.
 
Do a poll on the front page between the two names let ir run a week or so and let it go like that.

1) What name ?
2) Will you buy one ?
3) Brian post good jpegs ?

I wiould sit it up but I would probably fark something up knowing me.
 
On the back??? is that a SECOND drain mod? I thought you had to smash the BOTTOM.??? does the REAR drain mod need a pumping station built onto the bottom shelf?
