I'm seeing a lot of chat about the migration of "reddit brand" concepts like AMA and IAmA. We should probably come up with alternatives? Who's got some suggestions?
It is a reasonable thing to consider, but changing things will always cause confusion to newcomers. Making things as simple as possible, even if it takes some reddit naming schemes will always lead to better results. If people do not understand, they tend to give up.
It is also comfortable to have similar names so if you are used to a system, adapting is much easier. It is kind of like going from windows 7 to 8. It went extremely poorly because it was just too different too quickly.
