Rusty Goat:
ok, so stop at the word "internet." then take out the abusive deadly stuff and replace with something like:

"The AP Alliance understands that making choices to place children outside the home can be emotionally and financially draining. It is our mission to provide you with state of the art and up to date information that you may find very useful."

If the AP in AP stands for Anti Program, then will we re-name this Alliance, you know, if we don't want to scare off the potential/current customers of the industry on page 1? The site also serves as a warning to owners/operators/agencies etc. that their dirty little secrets are not secret and that someone is watching them like a hawk. How many clicks till the parents see how Anti Program we are and how Anti Program will that be projected?

The AP doe stand for anti-program.  As for whether or not it's a good idea, to a certain extent I share some of your misgivings.  On the other hand, I feel it might be a little bit dishonest to imply we are anything but.

Here is what I suggest.  On the about pages of the individual websites we state "AP Alliance" which links to apall.org which explains the purpose in a little more detail, specifically what constitutes a "program" (in what is admittedly our "lingo") and why we oppose "programs".

...  or we can abandon the name.  It's not too late to register another domain.

Rusty Goat:
Well, I like it when people pipe in on things. Ginger/Ursus made a great point and it's possible to keep the name too, it's just a matter of "first impression" and don't want to lose them right off. My doodad was just that... a doodad... open for chop chop switch switch whatever, lol. Don't tell the "Greaseman" though, ok? The name could be AP Alliance... not Anti=Program written out, and just use the letters. We know what it is, so that's good enough. If people ask, tell them. I'm so used to attacking the straight inc/pfc folks and their brutal mentalities that I lost sight of the fragile aspects of parents seeking information about programs. It is comforting to see people with more even keels... even this many years later.  :nods:

Aha.  I think you found the solution to our problems.  We simply neglect to define it.
