The name MiDFur is being given to the community, so -if- the community organises a midfur meet by this December ('13), that would be confusing, as Egyptian nights is in Jan 2014...
So having a meet Dec '13 then a con Jan '14 under the same name would just confuse people. (assuming that happens)
And the name MiDFur did not only say where it was held, it also stated -when- it was held... and since the con is moving to January now, the name does not hold true. (although that is one of the lesser points for the name-change)
The name is just a temporary thing to avoid confusion if the Melbourne community organise meets under that name in the meantime...
Also, the naming competition closes at the end of January, so who knows, they might apply the new name to the '14 con, or they might wait until '15... Guess we will find out!
Keep an eye on the facebook page, website, and twitter... the PR department will keep everyone up to date :3
