RPGCodex needs an acronym

Whenever I'm referring to this fine institution (hey, why not?) someplace else, I find myself typing out the whole RPG Codex. This kinda bugs me. Most sites have a handy acronym that refers to them. Duck and Cover has DAC. Terra-Arcanum has TA. The Interplay boards have IPLY. For RPG Codex, nothing really springs to mind. RPG doesn't work, RC neither. We need to find something that works. Please, nine characters is too many!

I just use 'Codex, myself... it's not as if there are hundreds of sites with 'codex' in their names on the intarweb. :P

The only sites with Codex in their name are Myth sites and they're long gone, thanks to the disaster that was Myth 3.

Codex is a fine name, it's nice, it has a ring, it speaks of ancient annals, of things long forgotten ( that unfortunately include a fine art of role-playing these days ) and of efforts of a handful of people trying to preserve the ancient teaching of choices and consequences thereof. It's a fitting name. :)

I'd suggest Rx personally. I quote :

Rx
n.
1. A prescription for medicine or a medical appliance.
2. A remedy, cure, or solution for a disorder or problem.

The second is pretty much the way I feel about role playing at the moment.

A solution for a problem....it's nice, it's simple, it's deep, I like it :) The only thing, Rx does not have a good sound. How about Rex or C-Rex - King Codex? :D All in favour say aye.

The pronunciation would be "ahr-ex" rather than rex (wrecks.) I pretty much just use the full RPGCodex when referring to the site, not being averse to typing. (Although this post would slightly disprove that statement.)

Oh, and is it just me or is the "edit" function not working in the "site feedback" section? Since the update I've edited posts elsewhere but can't seem to here.
