Post Do you have any other forum name change suggestions?
With the Movie forum changing name thread going on, Are there any other forums you think might need a name change?

List the ones to see if there is support to start a forum changing thread. ( Someone else can decide if a thread should be started )

-------------------

Some examples to get the ball started.

Water Cooler
- Speak your Mind.
- What's happening?

Awards
- And the winner is (rather than award goes to)

TV
The Boob Tube ( isn't that what it was always called )

OK but based on people's comments, you can decide which people care about the most and decide on the order of the forum name changing threads.

indeed. considering voting for the first has already begun, we can start looking at the next one. i personally do not want the watercooler to be changed at all. its an absolutely great name and does not require a movieish title like concession stand. the watercooler i think is perfect. i think the derby needs looking into.

There you go , Goldie, that's a constructive way to spend your time here, organizing the name change threads. Just do them one at at time, and don't start the next until it's done. There is no reason to have 5 dedicated threads going at once, other than just for the sake of starting 5 threads at once. One at a time will keep everything organized and won't become an overwhleming mess.

If it were me, I wouldn't devote a thread to asking the members which forum they want changed next, I'd just go down the list, pick the next forum with a generic name (for instance, DVD) and start the campaign thread. (AFTER the poll closes in the other thread I started , and the name is changed. )

You have my blessing to head the rest of the campaigns up, or just one like I did, if that's all you want to do. My forum time will be pretty non existent, so I can't do any more. Good luck!

I don't want to change The Water Cooler. Especially to The Concession Stand, because it's supposed to be non-movie related.

Let's change The Box Office Bash.

OK that's cool

but for me, the problem I have with this - Water Cooler ( lunch / work ) or anything relating to Coffee (morning / work) - is that it reminds me about work.

--------

If everyone likes it OK.

--------

But I wish you would have kept it closer to one of your nightime activities.

- KJ's Bar & Grill
- Cheers - where everyone is welcome / where everyone knows your name ( probably copywrited ).
- The Watering Hole
- The Pub
- The Neighborhood Bar
- The Night Club
- The Lounge

or with KJ attached to one of them.

- or from George Thorogood - 1 Bourbon, 1 Scotch, 1 Beer

or KJ's Mojo Land - =D> ooh laa laa

ETC.

Maybe you guys will understand better after you get a couple years on the job.

All good selections as well.

I do understand where your comng from ... but I feel the water cooler states pretty well what the forum is about ... like you said ... gathering around the cooler at work, talking news, politics, daily events ... monotonus to be sure ... maybe we need a wind down forum ... a drunk forum where we can move all of Dolce's drunk posts.

:And my return to drunk posting come august:
