As far as I'm concerned, [Interview] takes up way too much space when it comes to titles. Espcially because when you post a thread up on TL, you don't really see the full title of the thread, you see about 70% of it. And if [Interview] takes up about 30% of that, then the actual title is only like 40%.
Therefore, I was wondering, what would be a great way to shorten [Interview] so that it becomes 3 to 4 letters but people will still understand that it's an interview?
[INTW]?
[ITW]?
[INT]? (this might make people think interceptions or interceptors)
What are your guys' opinions?

Poll removed. Too many people were voting for [I] and we had already ruled it out.

Huh, that is actually a good point. No idea which abbreviation is best though.

INT seems fine to me. I kind of doubt anyone is going to think you mean interceptions in a starcraft 2 forum.

Iono, when I see [INT], I immediately expect a thread about interceptors.
|
And if you started it with ITW I would expect it to end in thousands of ninjas.
|
What about just [I] like what they do in strategy section, where G stands for guide, D for discussion and etc.
|
INT is fine, everyone's so used to it and idk why someone would tag a thread as int meaning interceptors haha

I think [ITW] or [INTW] is fine 
|
But I've seen [I] as a shortcut for "idea"
But I voted I. It would catch on

If [I] is already taken, then perhaps we should avoid trying to replace it.

But the last time I ever saw it used was in the BW strategy forum
It's pretty rare

How about a simple IV, since interview is a combination of two words - inter, inner and view, perspective - which means to give us an inner view or perspective of the person being questioned.
Whenever I see [I], I think of index of idea. So, I shall go with the simple [IV] - an abbreviation of the two words that make interview.
|
Me, I don't really care much. I'm pretty used to the [Interview] tag and it doesn't bother me, but I'll get used to the new one soon enough I'm sure Love reading all them interviews!
But if I had to pick, [IV] sounds like a solid idea to me, both in brevity and clarity. Only one I really don't like is [INT] as I use it pretty much every day for "integer", but I don't see too many people having the same problem..
|
[INT] to me means international. Maybe a simple [I] works the best, or maybe [IV] as someone already pointed out.

How about we just have a sub forum dedicated to interviews.
|
There should be an option for keeping it as it is 
Voted for [I] though, I prefer that to the other options.

[INT] would still work in this regard, definitely not [I] though =/

I like this idea the most. A few problems come with it though.
|
How about [Iview]? I admit it looks pretty weird but I think unlike with the others it is still clear what it means and it is also still shorter than the full word.
|
I really like [interview] as when I search for interviews, thats what I type into the search bar. Maybe if every single translater changed to [INT] or something, but otherwise I would much prefer [interview]

It's been suggested before. I'm not sure if anything has changed since the last time though.

I actually just put my cursor over the title name and the full title comes up.

I thought he's not happy with this being brought up again.

[Interview] works best for me.
