In the upcoming weeks Cool Sci-Fi is getting a new name! The new name is not ready to be announced yet though it is safe to say that it will still be identifiable as a genre fan site.
After close to 11 years of "Cool Sci-Fi" why a name change? There a few reasons but chiefly it is to get people comfortable with talking about genres beyond the sci-fi core. Most of us here like horror books/movies/TV and fantasy and some good dramas and comedies and... well, you get the idea.
One of the other reasons is to establish a name that more brandable then something that sounds like a description ("Hey, that's some cool sci-fi!").
The name "Cool Sci-Fi" is embedded in a lot of places so when the time comes it might take a little bit before all of the references are changed so there will be a period of time where you may see both names intermingled.
An exact date for the name switch is not ready at the moment as it will depend on time scheduling (or, in other words, if/when I actually get some free time) but it will be in the next few weeks.
