I'd expect MIRI to run a forum called MIRF, but it has a negative connotation on urbandictionary. How about Safety in Machine Intelligence, or SMIRF? :)

I actually did consider 'Self-Modifying Intelligence Research Forum' at one point...

I initially parsed that as (Self-Modifying (Intelligence Research Forum)), and took it to indicate that the forum's effectively a self-modifying system with the participants' comments shifting each other's beliefs, as well as changing the forum consensus.
