| What do you call CC?
Other than "addictive" and "a time-suck," what do you call CC? Specifically, do you think "forum" or "community" or "message board"? We have to link to this site from other locations, and we want to use the terminology that most people would "get" immediately.
All of these terms work and are generally understood, but we'd like your opinion as to the best and most easily understood term or terms.
So, please take a few seconds to answer the survey. If we missed a term, then please let us know in a comment. Thanks!

CC is the best kept secret in the whole world! So I don't share it too much. But when I do mention it, I call it a college advice/college planning website.

I'm tempted to say community, but I don't know most people on here well, but at the same time we all are kinda close (goal wise and attitude wise). I'm conflicted.
@NewHeaven Lol! I do the same! I don't want other figuring out the secrets of CC, esp if they are in my grade level

I say college forum, mostly because 'online community' sounds too cheesy

My husband would call it "annoying" because I talk about it so much. I describe it to other parents as a college website.

Due to its addictive nature, I refer to it as College Crack-idential.
All my family and friends know about this site because I quote from it so often!
