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?

The Forum at the End of the Universe ought to be the name of the HT forum. Ten Forward could be the C&R new name.

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

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?

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

Well first off Norrin... what do you mean?  YOu have only been here a few months!

   

Secondly, if it was changed to Ten Forward no heated coversation would ever take place.  I mean come on it took Next:Gen 3 years to have a conflict of any sort on screen .

No matter what it is named the above has a chance of happening, but mainly with new folks.  That would pretty much require a new game.  I will leave it at that for now.

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.
