It isn't a complicating factor at all. You've opened this discussion to the community, hence it is a community decision. Admin views are no more important.

When this voting process closes (whenever that is - I assume 24 Jan?) any changes should be based on the community decision, not what the admins think is best. If otherwise, there's no point in us voting.

My thoughts exactly. If we are to have a forum "discussion" on the name, I think we should count all voters as the same.

What it boils down to, in my opinion that is, is that Tardis Information System is too silly a name for high popularity, and Tardis Index File is too sentimental for a large group to want to change. "tardis" also is simply not good enough.

In my opinion "Tardis Index File" is simply the best name of the choices, despite continuity. Also "The Index File" is cannon, just as a description, not a name of the Information System itself. Thus it is a fine name.

Also, welcome back Skittles.
