Forum OpenACS Q&A: Change the name -- but save the mascot!

I'd just like to express my opposition to changing the mascot, as a few have suggested.  The name change seems warranted due to marketing and usability concerns, but to me, *our* mascot is woven into the very fabric of the OACS community.  The quirky smile of that big white dog gives one a sense of friendliness and ease of use that no scion of Tolkien could hope to express.
