Because someone named it that a long time ago, and it's become such a
well-known destination for chat folks that we haven't bothered to change it.
Changing it would involve lots of notification of everyone who frequents the
chat room, which would be more trouble than it's worth.
BTW, SEALUG stands for SEattle Area Lego User's Group

The point isn't "why hasn't the name been changed". The point was "why did it
get named that to begin with" and, going forward, "let's all think about how we
as a community would like to see the TLA 'LUG' used."

Yes. I'm very concerned about this.

How much notification (like a number or time)? I've never used it so I
don't have a sense for what it would entail.
