Re: Should the "RPG" language be renamed and to what?

I agree here. If your only reasoning is for searching, renaming won't
fix it. Besides archives, is there any current place that doesn't just
call it RPG? If you drop the acronym, the name is just fine.

Besides, I have gotten pretty proficient at retagging Role Playing
Game posts to a different tag on Stack Overflow.

I, too, get frustrated searching for RPG stuff and getting hits for role
playing games and rocket propelled grenades.  However, changing the name
will not cause the current searched items to change, which means one would
have to search on multiple arguments occasionally.  Plus, like System i,
iSeries, etc., which is still referenced by AS/400, people will continue to
call it RPG - and get emails from Trevor that we are not keeping up with the
times (which are a-changing).
