- fooblat 6y agoIndeed, my first reaction was that this would be a list of sites to avoid.
- supernano9 6y agoNo, I thought "bunk" means bed bunker or bunk as in pile something over one another.
- pmiller2 6y agoWell, it does also mean that, but, in this context, that's not what came to mind when I saw it.
- supernano9 6y agoI guess, you're right. I am not sure if it's a good idea to change the name. What do you think?
- gala8y 6y agoI think it is a good idea to change name.
- coolgeek 6y agoI don't think it's a big deal. But bunker list would avoid this particular misinterpretation btw, I like the idea. Or I think I do, because I'm not signing up before I get a chance to test it. This is a very common - and very legitimate - complaint on Show HN posts. You need to give people a chance to work with it - play around a little - before they sign up Good luck!
- pmiller2 6y agoI would.
