Topic: Renaming the Cool and Refreshing forum (Read 11758 times)

Taldren_Admin · « **on:** April 16, 2004, 07:58:56 pm »

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?

Just throwing this out there without any thought put into it.... The watercooler???

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

I need some coffee.

Ten Forward?

Hey I like that one!!!!!

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

Let's just rename the enitre deal

Green · « **Reply #4 on:** April 16, 2004, 08:11:35 pm »

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

Norrin_Radd · « **Reply #15 on:** April 17, 2004, 02:42:35 am »

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

The Name cool and refreshing standing out there alone with no Hot and spicy visible wouldn't make sense to a new member in my oppinion.
I love 10 forward, it fits.

The graveyard is invisible to none Hot topic members.

Stormbringer · « **Reply #21 on:** April 17, 2004, 11:40:29 pm »

Will you make the Equine graveyard invisible? The threads already there are sometimes filled with the type of material that makes the hot and spicy or hot topic forum the black sheep around here but some of the content is interesting.

Taldren_Admin · « **Reply #22 on:** April 18, 2004, 02:51:38 am »

I think that "Ann 10 forward is perfect" sounds rather weird and just using "10 Forward" would be much better.

Both "The Pub" and "10 Forward " are probably the best that have been mentioned although "Curly's Bar" has a certain ring to it.

KRolling · « **Reply #26 on:** April 18, 2004, 08:21:08 pm »

So that would make Ann kinda like Guinan?

Maybe it could be Ann's Happy Place. <snicker>

I do like Ten Forward.

I was wondering why I couldn't see the Hot and Spicey forums.

Ann, I thought you were asking me (when we spoke on the phone) if I wanted access to the Hot tub. My mistake.

Toasty0 · « **Reply #29 on:** April 18, 2004, 09:01:24 pm »

I suggest...

The Jeffry's tube

and

The Transporter

and

The Warp Core

also

The Agonizer Chamber

but that title might attract folks like Dizzy...

I dunno, I thought the old forum names were pretty much perfect. The suggested Hitchhiker's theme does appeal to me though. One worry might be that since new members won't know about the private forum they will assume this is the standard catch-all off topic forum.
