We are renaming the cool and refreshing forum. Seems silly to have that name when the general public will not see a hot & spicy.
Ideas for names have been:
General Chat
No Game Zone
No Fly Zone
The Pub
The Confabulatory

Any oppinions or suggestions?

Since this is supposed to be the nice happy place in the forums.

I need some coffee.

Hey I like that one!!!!!

But maybe that should be the name for the Gen. SFC Forums.

Let's just rename the enitre deal

How about Off Topic? Huh, already in use eh ... In that case, both of the above ideas are pretty darn good.

Is there a concern with this forum going the way of the old Hot Topics forum? Previously you knew which was the "political/contentious" forum, and which was the "joke and mindless banter" forum. With HT going hidden, is there a concern that someone might mistake this one as something it isn't?

Either Ten Forward or the Forum at the End of the Universe

Quarks
Come in, put your feet up and have a cool glass of prune juice, or enjoy a game of dabo!

On second thought that might be a better name for H&S. Quarks is pretty rowdy.

what about
The Replomat
Serving plenty of raktajino and root beer.

Quark always said the replomat was where you go for peace and quiet

Sexy and spicy?

Or "Soaking up the sun?"

I would have to agree with Ten Forward.

I say leave it alone.

Consider...

Naming it something general (Like Off-Topic or whatever) will only invite the topic to become H&S eventually, unless of course you want to splatter "Rules" all over, which I'm guessing is something you don't want to do.

I've seen a million flame wars on the Taldren forums, going way back to SFC 1, and it is certainly not just the H&S topic that folks need to cool off from

This is a thread meant for fun; for relaxing from other threads and simply having a good time. Cool & Refreshing is a perfect name for it.

If nothing else, the name discourages hot topics all on its own.

If it ain?t broke?

Soreyes · « **Reply #16 on:** April 17, 2004, 04:17:24 am »

Norrin has a good point

Keep it Cool and Refreshing

vsfedwards · « **Reply #17 on:** April 17, 2004, 07:47:12 am »

I agree, I see no point in changing it to be honest.

Interloper · « **Reply #19 on:** April 17, 2004, 10:10:34 am »

I vote for leaving as is
