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?
Ann
-
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?
GE-Raven
-
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

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
-
Sexy and spicy?
Or "Soaking up the sun?"
-
Well you have Hot Topics...
How about Cold Leftovers
-
you will also need to make the dead horse forum invisible?
-
Milliways?
Cheers?
No.....Waldon Pond 
Mike
-
Well the only forum I think Thats really important and the only one we need is the modeling forum But thats just me.
-
I would have to agree with Ten Forward.
-
K-7
Where there'll be no tribble at all...
<ducks>
-
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?
-
Norrin has a good point

Keep it Cool and Refreshing
-
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.

I vote for leaving as is
-
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.
Ann
-
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.
Ann
-
There's a hot topic forum?
J/K
I like Ten Forward myself. I nice place to cozy on up and meat people. Okay, I need to get to sleep....
-
Ann 10 forward is perfect
adam out
-
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.

ROFL!!!!
Well, maybe we should name it Ann's Hot Tub!!!! HEHE!!!!!
-
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...
-
OOOOOOH!!!
How 'bout..... The Girl's Bathroom!!!!!!
The Locker Room
General Quarters
The Mess Hall
The Ready Room
The Bridge
The Club House: No Boys Allowed!!!! <snicker>
-
The Barbeque Pit.
-
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.
-
McCoy's Medicine Cabinet
(... you know, the translucent one with some engineer-approved "medicine" in it!)
-
Holodeck One ... but the Hot forum should be renamed the "The Neutral Zone"...
-
The Lounge.
Simple and elegant.
-
Does that make us lounge lizards?
-
Only if you're a Gorn....
-
Hey I got one lets call it jane
