I think we should rename general discussion even if we don't merge the two.
I think renaming it is a good idea.
Bumping to get more feedback
Could we at least get feedback on renaming?
Got a suggestion?
DEBATE THUNDERDOME
and
INANE CHATROOM A/S/L?
Well, no.
I'm not shy, if I had one I'd more than likely have said it, complete with demands for change (we can believe in) now.
I don't have very strong feelings about it, but I still have a preference for 2 separate subfora. Especially if the General Forum is going to be more tied in with the Blog/Frontpage.
I am voicing support for renaming the two forums.
No suggestions on what, yet, though.
Change "Off Topic" to "Random Musings"?
In General Discussion topics are posted with the point that they will be discussed by interested parties.
So far "Off Topic" is mainly posts of things that are of interest, or are entertaining, but do not necessarily merit discussion.
No.Quote:
Random Musings
On the condition that Illusions' account be renamed to "Pretentious Douche"Quote:

Like the picture thread.Quote:

News, Politics, Science and Religion

General Chat
You know, descriptive.
But with News, Politics, Science, And Religion changed to something less twatish.
"Politics & Current Events"?
bleh, nevermind. That idea sucks.
How about just "Sirus Biznes" and "Lolforum"
General Chat. :up:
The other The World Forgotten to be edgy and remind us of the world we lost :(
Blog and Debate Forum and Community Chat ?Quote:

I think that's a perfect name for the off-topic forum. Well done Dread.Quote:

I can live with that.
Better than what it is currently, anyway.
Inane drivel sort of sets the scene...but my big concern is either forum becoming dramatically more popular than the other, which could drive people away from one of the two (no one likes being in the less crowded corner).
So let's break people out of the mentality that Atari cultivated - that we're all stuck in a pen and are to remain in our designated forum and not wander out of it. Most forums aren't as segregated as Atari was.
I think some people will naturally prefer one and others the other. Shouldn't be a problem as long as both are fairly active, and that does seem to be the case for now.
