    I am still hating that name and I know I am not alone.

    So once again let's talk new names and make a choice with the aim of having a new forum name when we name the new moderator for the room.

    I also suggest changing a couple of the forum headers..

    Knowledge to Board Business

    Mindforge to Knowledge and Creativity

    Wordforge to Community

    Just because the board is named Wordforge doesn't mean every header has to have -forge in it. Those are just suggestions I am tossing out..please discuss and throw out more.

    The Rules forum can just be easily replaced by the builtin FAQ.

    I like Quantum Café. I never go in there anyway, but I just like the way it sounds. :)

    Why not call Geekforge what it is? Science and Technology, or S&T?

    SciTech?

    I really like Nick's organization there.

    Though it does bring up one other thing....Quotable WF. I don't know if we need it.

    The memorial thread and chat quotes could be moved to the Green Room and be rid of it.

    At the very least, as it is yet another name I dislike a lot those two threads could be moved and the forum renamed Archive which is what it really is anyway.

    It's been awhile so I figured it couldn't hurt to bandy it about again and see if anything new pops up or if the name holds with the different people who now have a chance to speak in here.

    If beer gives one the same sense of aesthetics as Borgs, I think I'll be glad I can't partake. :vomit:
