    I dunno if we want "insert" as part of a forum name. :unsure:

    Hmm.

    The Midway

    The Gaming Den

    The Rec Room (alternatively (The) Recreation Room)

    The War Room (though the definition isn't really obvious in the name)

    Oh, I dunno.

    I suppose we could cop out with The Copper Room. :shrug:

    That's already called the White Room ;).

    Tell you what, we'll compromise. We'll call it the Gigantic Money Pit < Xbox2 Room.

    We're just switching the operator :ramen:.

    This stuff is why if a room is created the rules will have to be a little more relaxed than media central, because nothing is funnier than watching you console fanboys go at it. :D

    Gee, I was gonna say that I liked "The Midway," being as that's what the game section of the carnie is called. Or the state fair. Pleasant memories there.

    How about Laser Illusions? It was a name of an old arcade that used to exist around here, but is now gone.

    How about if I look at all the names suggested and make a poll in the Green Room titled "If we have a video game forum, I'd call it..." and then list the options?
    I'd give this thread until Friday before making the poll, because I learned well from the Forgies that people need time to make suggestions.

    Console games are not arcade games though. (well, except maybe Xbox games, which you play for a few hours then get bored of). And it seemed the arcade forum that existed before was made just to talk about the Wordforge Arcade. It may have been meant for video games, but it was in a sub-forum and tucked away in another forum, so very few people actually visited it.
