...There's a definition of irony for ya'. Sounds like one of the better and more experienced CP growers here has a wasp infestation! What next!?, Aquaman drowns in a tub?! (that's a Chris Rock joke, haha).

It's part of the wasps strategy to keep me from ever maintaining my property enough to grow Sarrs outdoors, they know what that would mean for them, lol. It's almost an act of self-defense on their part, not that I sympathize with them.
Sorry for hijacking this thread. I kind of think the "society" aspect should be kept, even if we don't really meet all the criteria, since that just leaves room for improvement and expansion.

Glad to see people throwing out ideas, I must admit I originally was all for "forum" as we aren't anything official. But the more I think about it the more I'm leaning towards something that represents us being more then just a forum, we have meetings in Ontario and BC at least once a year right?
I do love the Canadian Carnivorous Plant Society BUT technically the name has already been taken..... There was a few members of this forum that were part of it in Quebec, I don't think they exist anymore but who knows if the name is registered and officially taken. At the same time it might have been just a couple people using the name and it's still up for grabs. Any one have any info on this???
Group, Community, Association, Alliance are all good ones as well. I do like that someone else brought up rewording the title to The Carnivorous Plant Society (or other words) of Canada, this was something I was thinking too but didn't know if it was too long.

...I'm totally for keeping the 'prestige' factor high in the final name and the word society kind of suggests that. I wouldn't want that aspect diminished. Whenever I tell anyone that I am a member of the OCPS, they go "WOW, there's a society?", I like that. 'Fellowship' is probably too Dungeons & Dragons. ...wasps don't like gasoline and fire too much, I have burned many a nest in my day. Badminton racquets are great for defending yourself while torching them... AV.

Canadian Carnivorous Plant Society
The Quebec Society is dead. There's no reason to fear that they will get us for copyright infringement. If we want to use the name, we should use it. I used to be a paid up member of CCPS/SCAPI until it disappeared.

Happy 1000th post Lloyd! So, do you ascend to "Lloyd the White" now or something?

"Lloyd the White". Has a certain ring to it. However in view of the Academy Awards, how about "Lloyd the Diversified" or "Lloyd of the Prismatic Colours"?

"Lloyd the Technicolor", "Lloyd the Iridescent", "Lloyd the Plaid"?

"Association" is another official-sounding word, but not quite so specific as "Society"

I was just thinking about this the other day (after finding the old thread). I like Canadian Carnivorous Plant Society or Carnivorous Plant Society of Canada. We should get some sort of logo too! (maybe a contest?) Loveing the sound of CPSC
