    isn't Shangri-La more associated with Singapore?

    anyways, any suggestions? Paradise is my top choice but maybe...

    Philippine Islands Divers

    maybe we could do a poll once we have enough filipinos or pi diving non-pinoys here
    It's a sin to live in the Philippines and not be able to dive.

    Jonix, the poll is a great idea....but you're right, we need some more pinoys and pinays (did I get my Tagalog right?!) to join and make the P.I. Forum exactly what you want.

    Well, my favorite hotel in Manila is Shangri La Makati...

    I like the Philippine Island Divers much more.

    Another board uses the term paradise, so some other name would be better.

    We're considering creating a subforum for our Pinoy and Pinay friends who can converse in Tagalog.

    We don't want to use the exact same name as another forum, and besides, referring to our Pilipino friends as "pasaways" which I think means lazy is not how we want to honor our friends.

    Anyone have some suggestions on a native speaking forum name that is fun, young, and reflects positively?

    The issues with called the forum Philippine Island Divers is that is just a geographical description. Some word other then the already used "Paradise" that would reflect on just what a fantastic place to visit, make great friends and do some incredable diving, would be more fitting. Thoughts?

    Why does it matter if another board uses that name. I like Paradise.

    We'd love to have more Pinoys and Pinays and increase participation in this particular forum, so we're working on getting out the word and we could use everyone's help, although another board apparently is so deathly paranoid of us they have banned out ScubaMagazine name so you can't even type it and have it render.
