Just throwing names at the wall and seeing if something sticks. Thanks.

I was a fan of Kbinauts, but then the zeitgeist moved super fast once that bird logo got introduced.

Then voting went up for a name for the lil birdie, and surprisingly Kibby came out on top, but alongside Kebin and Bink. The poll for that should still be up over in m/redditmigration I think.

Now that I think about it, I don't see our name as netizens arising from the name of the mascot, just like how at reddit no one called themselves a derivative of "snoo."

wait, what's wrong with kbinauts? I like kbinaut.

I like it too, but somehow kbinners got taken up, kbeans (ugh), and now this bird mascot's name is being thrown in the mix.
