Rename QZ?
 

The Quiet Zone:
For more in-depth, relaxed discussion and debate

to

Low Traffic:
For more in-depth, relaxed discussion and debate

I believe this would still fit the general idea of the forum, and it sounds better than 'The Quiet Zone' to me. What do you think?

Re: Rename QZ?
 

I prefer the quiet zone myself

Re: Rename QZ?
 

The 2+2 community will think "Low Traffic" will suck even more than "Quiet Zone". It is very easy to see how "Low Traffic" asks to be poked fun at.

"The Lounge" went over well in the OOT discussion thread. Why wasn't it used?

Well, I'd let them speak for themselves about this, but I don't want to publicly go against what's already been created.

I completely agree, and the humor of the name itself is part of what makes it appealing in my mind. People would poke fun at it, but they are already doing that with 'the quiet zone', anyway. The thing is, 'Low Traffic' actually is what that forum is supposed to be about. From how I understand it, people who wanted this forum wanted a place in which threads don't fall off the main page after 2 minutes. 'Low Traffic' also sounds less stuffy than QZ.

EDIT -

I should note that I think calling the forum 'low traffic' would actually increase interest and generate more traffic.

I definitely don't like Low Traffic. I think that's even worse than Quiet Zone.

Eh, well that pretty much settles it then. Bob knows all. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I think you guys are seriously underestimating the humor value, though. None of the other choices would generate as much interest based on the name alone.

Still, I would much prefer 'The Lounge' over QZ. I must have missed why this name wasn't used instead. Can someone summarize why people thought that would be a bad name?

Re: Rename QZ?
 

No to Low Traffic, I'd call.

I didn't mind QZ or The Lounge, and becuse of some preference for QZ in the splitting thread, went with QZ.

didn't realise it would be that big a deal.

I still don't mind it, people just used to The Lounge early I think.


I don't mind if you want to ask this in QZ, Cola.

Thanks, but I still would. Mat created these forums as they are now. I wouldn't want to publicly go against one of his calls without first knowing that he would be okay with it. But since it's clear that I don't share the same sense of humor as most, which is something I should have learned by now, my idea is basically out, anyway. I'd like to see the lounge.

Re: Rename QZ?
 

How about 'The Low Traffic Quiet Lounge Zone'?

or LTQLZ for short.....

rename it for the sake of never seeing them referred to as Zoners again

Re: Rename QZ?
 

Yah, but if it's called 'The Lounge' they'll be called 'Loungers'...

Re: Rename QZ?
 

go against me all you like

Re: Rename QZ?
 

Cola,

The way this split was done is an interesting experiment, and while I do not believe this was the best way to do it, I am prepared to support it.

I think we should let things shake out a bit and see how it goes...

I agree with this post, except I think QZ is fine

Oh, I'm fine with trying out these forums. I just don't like one of the names, and there seems to be many others who agree.

Re: Rename QZ?
 

I think the name should stay. I think it is hilarious that a guy with 11000 posts in 13 months is the moderator of "the quiet zone." It is like me teaching a class on public speaking.

Re: Rename QZ?
 

I like the QZ because it sends the message that it isnt a place for trolling and flaming but rather for some nice relaxing adult conversation.

Re: Rename QZ?
 

I like The Lounge.

And please, please, please add the sidebar links soon.

I like The Lounge too (that and The Quiet Zone are the only ones I liked that came up), but I think it better to leave it for a while, to see if it settles as the Zone.

Mat, you have any view on the name?


But here's another cheer for putting it on the sidebar.

The Lounge is ok. The Quiet Zone sounds like some place you put preschoolers and Low Traffic sounds like some place you don't want to be.

I hate to go with the majority, but for once, I agree, if Mat is open to changing the name.
