Nuno suggests "Winbuilder".And not only this is perfectly fine, it also needs NOT any explanation.

Winbuilder 8.1 (Winbuilder 6.3 SP2)

WinbuilderNG, has a nice ring to it. Sounds like Winbuilder Engine. Might purr like a cat or dog. It will depend on how you build it.

Other - as it is UNofficial naming - how about WinbuilderUN (Un-named).

Seems that "Winbuilder" wins the race so far
And i like the idea of date ver. over number ver.

NO.
To me it seems like out of 55,948 only 13 members voted, which confirms how high is the interest for the matter in the Community , BUT also that out of the 13 people that have an opinion on the matter and expressed it in this poll 9 want to have the completely new, not backwards-compatible, script engine named *something* different from "Winbuilder".
Which nicely confirms how the idea of keeping it's name the same is considered foolish by the majority of those that voted.
In the tradition of the board this poll won't make any difference whatsoever, the decision to keep the "Winbuilder" name anyway, and no matter what, for the new version has been already taken by the Author long before this poll was started.
When you fight against windmills, there are a few rules to follow:
Wonko
P.S.:
Just for the record, out of the current 5 votes in favour of using the Winbuilder name to the completely new script engine, two must be detracted, as one corresponds to Nuno (which is abusively voting in this poll BUT that was "mentioned" by Medevil - which at least is a form of excuse ) and one to pscEx (which noone mentioned and thus cannot even use the flimsy excuse that Nuno used ).
AND we need to add a vote to the "Others" since Medevil, besides providing the base for Nuno's lame excuse, additionally did not vote at all in the poll...

Some general considerations about "who and when creates polls".
I remember some remarkable time ago, that a member Jaclaz decided to change his name to "Wonko the Sane".
Just a question to Jaclaz / Wonko the Sane:
How would the reaction have been, when Billy-Bob from the community would have created a poll, asking members to vote for a different new name?
Is the situation now different?
IMO it is not.
One "Owner" of a name / product / ??? decided for a (not new) name for his product.

Is the situation now different?
Yes, it is, for two reasons:
I would have NOT voted in that poll.
And the poll you described is VERY different from this one, as said this is not about asking members their opinion on using an appropriate name for a new tool instead of re-using the old one (or for their opinion on the name that the new character born from the ashes of jaclaz should have assumed).
We all know that the Authors (and this is perfectly within their rights , BTW) already took this decision and that this won' t change.
The fact that a decision has been taken (and that won't be changed) doesn't in any way prevent from asking what other people would have done IF they were the Author.
If you want we can start a similar poll for my nick, even now, given that it was jaclaz and that it has already become Wonko the Sane because jaclaz needed to change his online character on boot-land reboot.pro (and that there are REASONS for this) and that this WILL NOT be changed, NO MATTER the results of the poll:
IF you were jaclaz, and you had to change your nick because you are going to play another character, which nick would you use?

And when you created the poll, your magic crystal ball told you that the author of the item in question would vote.
Sorry, I do not intend to discuss with magicians or aliens.

Sorry, I do not intend to discuss with magicians or aliens.That's a pity , often magicians and aliens have a much wider view on things (better perspective) and tend to have interesting - though often "queer" - ideas.

This thread apparently has nothing to do with rebooting whatsoever.

Wow, exceptionally acute observation.
It's very good to have a new member that sums up threads for the masses:

Continue the good work!

Here is a observation
mikeserv has a other account on this forum
Cause it seems for the short time that mikeserv is here
he dose NOT do what a noob would ,ask something...
Instead he attacks users with the same intensity as a well known User
And always seems to jump into action when some help is needed by sed user
And here is something about rebooting:

Strong claim. might be true but I find no evidence of this scenario (I checked from the admin logs and writing style). What would be the well-known reboot member that is using a different account? (you're welcome to pm privately to me and Wonko if you don't want to disclose this detail publicly).
Also, I wouldn't immediately co-relate that a member with few posts is a person that just asks questions on the beginning (albeit this is of course the frequent situation). We have members with scarce number of posts and outstanding participation on each writing.
From what I see, mikeserv is a genuine user that simply disagrees with some contributions from MedEvil and Wonko. As long as this disagreement is expressed in a polite manner, I don't see a problem. On this board we value a productive argumentation between opposing views, one has to know how to place emotions aside to defend arguments with logic and facts in the public square.
If you survive here, you increase your survival skills in real-world debates.
Heck, I have my own share of disagreement with these two members but feel that this kind of raised issues is a good opportunity to reflect on what is being done. I'd rather have a good debate than plain silence and no feedback on what can be improved (or not).
