Okay, but at least we are many Folders.

I don't think a defacto name has emerged yet. Definitely not "manifolder", anyways -- I'd lean "folder", and hope that sounds more like "origamist" than "thing that goes into a filing cabinet"

So... do we call ourselves anything, yet?

I think Manifolders is too much of a mouthful, and too many characters, to become the site demonym. I guess Metaculites is also long and a mouthful, but I think it's unwieldliness is part and parcel of Metaculus' failure to breakthrough to the mainstream—how many people who aren't self-identified rationalists or readers of Slate Star Codex / Astral Codex X even know what Metaculus is? I think any of these is more likely to become the demonym than Manifolders: - Manis - Manies - Mantis - Manties (these two playing off the old "Mantic Markets name) - Folders - Foldies

My two cents: "Mannies", "Folders", "MFers"

I suggest folders is better but less clear. Manifolders is such a mouthful.

There's a decent risk we shall be known as MFers

"Folders" sounds cooler.

Metaculus has "metaculites", used eg in question titles here https://www.metaculus.com/questions/4786/what-will-be-the-minimum-credence-metaculites-will-give-trumps-re-election-chances-in-2020/ and here https://www.metaculus.com/questions/5287/when-will-america-have-an-emigration-crisis/

Do any of the other prediction markets have a name that cought on for their users?

Manifolders is a mouthful... "Manifer"?

It is manifolly to resist the tide

Feel free to make your own suggestions, who knows, a good enough moniker could move this market and mean free fake money!
