Title: Renaming the Cool and Refreshing forum
Post by: 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?

 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?

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?

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.

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.  

 
Title: Re: Renaming the Cool and Refreshing forum
Post by: KRolling 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.

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.

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.

It is invisible unless you are a member of the hot topic forum.

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.

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.

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.
