I have to admit I usually just call ir Genes

I still call it GenesConnected or GC.....it was a much better name and far more appropriate than Genes Reunited.

It rolls off the tongue more easily doesn't it?

Like that one Colin-in fact quite a good start to a lighthearted weekend!-so can we have a vote
GC GR ITV or--lets hear it folks DNA !!!
Good weekend everyone x

I've only ever known it as genes reunited!

I reckon they should have called it .D.N.A

It does not really matter what we want Genes always seem to do their own thing anyway.

D.N.A would be quite appropriate really.

I've always maintained that you can only reunite genes by having a child with a blood relative.

However, you can connect without that.

just call it genes ,and to hell with it ,unless they change the first part of the name.lol.Fred.

Why change something thats not broke? .M.

Its just a name I still can't see what all the fuss was about...

i much preferred genes connected

i could never understand why they changed it lol

I personal prefer GC to GR, but thats just my opinion!!!
BUt tbh it doens't really matter what they call it does it?


I only added as people were assuming this was a new thread and the name change was happening now, not 3 yrs ago.

Interesting to see some of the names on here - somethings never change do they.

So,

How many still have a problem with the name "Genes Re-united" and want to revert to the previous one

I agree Shelli, it was GenesConnected when I joined and everyone moaned at the change of name. It was done to make it the same sort of brand as FriendsReunited. You can reunite friends, but I don't think I can be reunited with my genes from 100 years ago. Connected was a much better name, but it was all done for advertising purposes I'm sure.

thats just the point we didn't call it that until after the change. we didn't get our own at all, loads of people wanted to keep as it was Genes connected, but as usual we the paying customer was ignored!!!

We always called it that anyway. Guess that means we've got our own way for once. Ooh lets make the most of it :-)

nope it was once long ago called Genes connected, but the powers decided to change it. The orginal start date of this thread is 2004, an old thread brought back to show how they're still changing things and we're still complaining about the changes!!!!

I think I must be living on a different planet....This site has always been called genesreunited...that is the address I use and people on this site always refere to it as GR......Have I been asleep for 100 years ????????

Kathlyn

Please take note of the date of this thread...


I have just read through it and PMSL.. FGS all this for a name change and people saying it was a hoax and even thought the admin team bit was a hoax..

Just goes to show the next time I read ,back in the good old days when it was all fun fun fun on here and i shall just think of this thread and think same old suspicions (sp) different year ...must give a flicker of hope to the poor newbys ...pmsl......

And now most of us just call it Genes !!!

Thanks Ann

Got me wondering there... Only known it as Genes Reunited. Thought i was going loco i also checked the home page to double check.. Thanks Pamx
