Thread change of name
I was just thinking when do we change the name of this thread?
Now that Triton and GMC are no more could we have a dedicated Triton Forum.
Time to cut out the dead rotten wood

Times are changing. I would still like to see GMC go from the title though. What was it before?

I reckon we need a lot more time to go by and see what becomes of the new company before making any changes on the forum
The other day I described to my daughter how to find something in the garage by saying "It's right near my big saw". A few minutes later she came back to ask: "Do you mean the black one, the green one, or the blue one?".

Maybe "GMC and other redundant manufactures" .. They were only lumped together I assume because they were the same company but now they are two separate entities. All reports are that Triton will be reborn and GMC has lost ground to Ozito and is a total wright off. Seriously the GMC brand name is like a dead write on a company trying to re-float. lets give it s boost by cutting out the dead rotten wood.

There are probably more GMC tools in existence than there are Triton - leave it be.
By the way - I have both

There are a lot of Festool users also. Separate them. before it made sense now it does not. Would you mix radiata pine with Huon because they both pine (Soft-Wood). Originally Posted by AUSSIE

Leave it be. What is the hurry. My shed is full of GMC. Most excellent for me. except a crap one, but that is why it was cheap.

It makes even more sense to wait until the deal regarding GMC is done. Originally Posted by KnockOnWood

Why rush in when it is still unclear?

I suppose we could get rid of one reference and just call it the GMC Thread

KOW you have joined in Jan 2009 and straight away are suggesting changes to the greatest forum on earth
I am not suggesting that you dont have the right to give your opinion on how to make it even better but after almost 10 years of running, it maybe a good idea to sit back enjoy what you see, make some freinds then put forward your ideas.
We are a strange lot here, mostly addicted to something that is actually legal and not taxed (at this stage anyway) and tend to get our back up when a newby tries to change the status quo.
Cheers, sit back and enjoy the rideregards
