I remember that someone complained on the thread related to the Debt and mental health blog (on the main site) about us all being called mad, or lunatics and so on in our descriptions.
So perhaps this is why they've been changed.
So many of us across the boards have mentioned that their friends / neighbours / colleagues think that they are mad in their MoneySaving ways that it seems that most of the world think that we are mad!
I've never had a problem with it in fact, looking around at the new ones, I think that being called a nerd or a geek is even more insulting 
Anyway - if you really want to know the best place to ask would be the This Site board, I reckon.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.
