Ministry of Propaganda

I've changed the name of the "WAB: Information, Announcements, and Suggestions" forum to "Ministry of Propaganda". Rest assured that this is tongue-in-cheek, "self"-deprecating, and in jest, and is meant to convey a better sense of theme.

Just a little bit.

Perhaps The Information Ministry might be an even better title? I hate to change things around too much in such a short period of time, but if it was more humorous, yet appropriate, it would serve the WAB community well.

A little too obscure, if you ask me. M of P is just right.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Iraqi Information Ministry would be very obvious, but very misleading . It will remain as M of P.

Excellent choice. It shows a dry cynical sense of humor. The Brits are starting to rub off on you!

I've always had a dry cynical sense of humor. So dry, a certain poster I won't name here always thinks I'm serious

Good choice of font, size and colour, O Ferrous One. I entirely approve. As we used to say in the Services 'Well done, that man there!'

I don't mean to nitpick, but you've misspelled the word 'color'. The premier English-speaking nation should set precedence for word spellings without regard to historical considerations.

Just kidding, of course.
