I voted for make meaningless slogans great again despite the OP implying it was meant as a slight against Trump, because “let’s make x great again” is too good a phrase to be monopolized by anyone, and I found “staying alive” to be a bit too pessimistic. That said, what I think what we should actually do is respect the poll result and go with staying alive

The 7 hour old poll to name the thread that might exist for the next year?

I’ll close the poll after 24 hours and then will rename the thread according to the results.

The current title is already fulfilled.

I propose “2025 chat thread with a generic title”.

Indeed and there are other options yet to explore. Surely something can be made of 2025 being the only square year this century? Maybe we should just call this thread:
(20+25)²=2025
Maybe this is the year of 45x45 go? Who fancies s game of that? What move rate would need needed to finish this year?
Others will also have ideas
2025: are we there yet?
2025: better then expected (so far)
Maybe it’s time to revert to
2025 thoughts
Like we had in 2020 and 2021

I like this one, because it tricks you into thinking there’s a typo, until you realize it’s spelled perfectly and it changes the meaning

2025: be there or be square 
I also think it’s fun that that we are a quarter way through the century! Seems like the millenium just happened!

Totally meant that! Err

I actually already muted the topic for this reason. Just now I checked if a name change was proposed, and I was happy to find that this is the case (so unmuted again).

Is that also a reference to the idea that we should do another poll for a title?
I’m also happy that we could allow for a few more suggestions, none of the titles really appealed to me 
Edit:
Some suggestions from Gemini
Puns & Wordplay:
- 2025: Go-ing Global (Simple, emphasizes the global scope)
- 2025: The World in Motion (Go!) (Plays on “motion” and the game of Go)
- 2025: Go Figure! (A classic pun, implying unexpected events)
- 2025: World Affairs - Let’s Go Deep (Refers to deep reading or analysis)
- 2025: The State of Play (Go) (Connects to the game and current events)
- 2025: Go Tell It on the Mountain (of News)
(A bit more elaborate, but evocative)
- 2025: Go With the Flow (of Current Events)
(Emphasizes adapting to change)
Some actually aren’t terrible, like the Go Figure and Go with the flow. (I’m expecting more and more AI stuff this year anyway, as with last year)

At least the controversial initial title has been eliminated. The other ones didn’t generate a lot of enthusiasm, but no strong rejection either. I’m not going to create another poll but if you want to do that, please go ahead.

Happy 2025!!!
For what’s worth, I appreciate the title change as well.
Here’s to ranking up at least once this year!!!

Top results from last poll which sum to >= 50%
- Let’s try again
- Staying Alive
Eliminated
- Let’s make it a better world
- Let’s make meaningless slogans great again
Let’s do runoff votes until a single option wins. No proposing anything that is essentially the same as an eliminated option
Thread Title: Round 2
- 2025: Let’s Try Again
- 2025: Staying Alive
- (20 + 25)² = 2025
- 2025: Are We There Yet?

I actually chose the title mainly because I thought it was funny. Was it too meta for some people to get or is my sense of humour just too different?

I like it! “2025: Let’s try again” is going to be a very apt name for this thread
