Yeah.... no. Why audio-nerd forums were ever so infantile as to brand themselves with "muff" and "slutz" isn't much of a big mystery, but we haven't lost anything of value by seeing those 'cute' names off. I'd like to chat about synthesizers with fellow nerds without feeling rightfully embarrassed about the name in the header.

Those cutesy names were also a barrier to getting girls and young women involved in this stuff too. Changing it to modwiggler was absolutely the right thing to do.
