No it's not. I've heard TONS of people say it, it doesn't sound robotic at all!
We don't need a name change, we've established that. We just need to make South Pole of the Moon the more predominant name! Or at least I think so.

Ok ok ok, hold on, stop the presses people! Why change it? Pogotibe is short sweet and to the point. SPOTM is a mouthful and pogotribe gives the sensation that we are a tribe because we are. And pogo does not necessarily mean pogo sticks. Did you know that there are three Pogopedias? There is ours and then there is anoother one about Walt Kelly and a third one about Pogo.com which is a flash games website. So pogo doesn't have to refer to pogosticks. Also back to the whole mouthful part of SPOTM, adding tribe onto that just makes it longer. Saying S-P-O-T-M is weird and people who doesn't know what the acronym is for might think it's something wierd and saying spot M is a very strange robotic noise. Therefore I vote we don't change it. Maybe we should call it SPOT Moon. Good idea, I like it. I will work on a banner of SPOT Moon, and maybe we can get it introduced as a skin? People will choose the skin and if SPOTM skin is more popular after (say) 2 weeks, it will be made default. If it's not made default, it will still be there for those who think this tribe deserves the name SPOTM over pogotribe. This is giving me an idea as regards forum government. Interesting.

can't we have a new name, that still makes sense?

I asked for opinions on this in the admin call today, and here is what was basically said:
PogoTribe is bigger than South Pole of the Moon. We has no problem with moving towards using "South Pole of The Moon" more, but we will still be called "PogoTribe" (unless like, the entire tribe wants to change that). When we have a banner competition (and we will), we have no problem with replacing "PogoTribe" with SPOTM.

I agree, I'm a South Pole of the Moon resident, "pogo-tribe member" just says "fanatic drone" to me. But we should still use it to describe group activities (together we are the pogo-tribe, not separately) and as an adjective for moon things. Pogo news. Pogo chickens. Pogo album. That kind of thing.

Let's, though, not forget about WHY the lunar south pole got entangled with the PogoTribe...
The key is around 3:10

We are the same tribe no matter what our name is. If it was named Cornmuffin, I would still be here.

That's why I say "Cosmic Brownies." Cosmic Brownies is a pretty awesome name.

What about just "The Tribe"?
We are The Tribe, Residents at the south pole of the moon. Just like americans are located in america. the tribe is the people, SPOTM is the place.

I usually refer to the forum as SPOTM(Spot 'em) as a location and the community as the Pogotribe
But Cornmuffins doesn't sound so bad.
