    We've called ourselves "The Shotbow Network" for quite a long time now, haven't we? It's always been a bit redundant (of course we're a network!) and the The has caused an endless amount of confusion over whether or not it should be capitalized and should it be excluded.

    Well, no more! You may resume calling us what you've always called us - "Shotbow."

    One word, one simple word to describe some of the best games in Minecraft - one word easily reflected by our signature symbol:

    We don't need the level of formality that "The" and "Network" imply. We're here to have fun - and so are you.

    Thank you for flying Shotbow.

    I realized how silly it was about a month or two ago. Made sure that it went through several levels of administration and final sign off so that everyone was on board and any negative feelings towards the move would be echoed and taken into consideration.

    Except there were none! A few people miss our long, formal name - but in the end "Shotbow" is much more down to earth and represents who we are that much better.

    - It's also a happy coincidence that this finalizes the same week that Google and Verizon update their own logos.

    'The Shotbow Network' always felt to me like it was remembering how Shotbow introduced the idea of networked servers and hubs before most other servers. Ah well.

    Edit: Also announcing a name change has been taken as a challenge to find the old logo on the site everywhere I can.

    THE UPDATE TO CHANGE THE NETWORK FOREVER!
    Actually I have been kind of wondering why SMASH was the only minigame you see a Shotbow actually used in, kind of funny!

    Actually, a discouragement game named Shotbow Games was taken out, but it had a class called ShotBow!! :)

    Ok, that makes more sense! I thought it was a game where everyone complained that the Shotbow was an overpowered weapon and hated players who used it! Anyways, shooting up MineZ zombies would be pretty fun! Then again Chewbacca's Bowcaster in Assault works pretty much like a Shotbow, just with a star-wars skin!

    the title of this thread sounds like shotbow went on a diet and went to the gym to workout and is now lean.

    Are YOU the one that filed the bug report about buycraft?

    There are still some places that are harder to update than others. I'm working on it, though.
