Why BP.net

Why call it BP.net if its for all this other stuff? Why not call it every animal on the earth.net?

Not all of us are single-minded. We are humans with varying interests, and most of us love all kinds of animals, some of use only love a few, and all of us have personal preferences.

We're complex and we like to talk, so sue us. :rolleyes:

Its not about single minded. BP.net gives the idea its all about BP.

I guess the only person who can actually give a answer is the person who made the site. Just seem kind of odd to name a site after a single animal but try to cover them all in sub forms.

And it is, for the most part. We have subforums for most other species of reptile, and other subforums for other genae. But the bulk of the information and commentary we provide is relevant to BPs.

Why is Facebook called Facebook? It's not a face. It's not a book.
Why isn't it called pretend-you-know-and-like-everyone-you've-ever-met-and-add-them-to-your-page-so-they-can-see-what-you-had-for-dinner-and-look-at-only-your-most-flattering-head-shots-and-get-daily-memes-reminding-them-not-to-mess-with-texas?

Best not to question the small stuff. You can drive yourself mad with wonder.

Actually its name fits its purpose. Its name comes from a colloquialism for the directory given to students at some American universities.

Fascinating.

What does Wikipedia say about Break.com? If I didn't know what it was, the name wouldn't make sense to me.

(Don't respond so fast this time! I need a minute to come up with the next one)
