This split idea is stupid. I can't see a single reason why someone would post here over OOT. Or is this the more mature forum??? Whatever, its mad gay and several of you douches are ruining this forum.

Re: Forum name

I agree that the current name sucks. Here are a few suggestions (hopefully, I'm correct about the theme of this forum):


"The Finer Things"
"Leisure Room"
"Culture Lounge"

...and my top choice:

"The DEAL (Dining, Entertainment, Arts, and Leisure)"

But then all of those who post here would be referred to as 'Dealers'. although this may actually not be worse than being referred to as a 'Zoner'.

No, "DEALers". Easily distinguishable from people who pitch cards or sell drugs/cars.

Besides, think about how dumb "OOTers" sounded at first.

Amidst all the complaining about the name I want to say thanks to Mat and others for making this happen. Already some long time forum members who never post in OOT have decided to contribute here, and some interesting topics have sprung up such as BluffTHIS's discussion on art and the architecture thread among others.

So thanks Mat, diebitter, and everyone else who petitioned for this.

All,

Please note that the goal of this forum is less to discuss a specific set of topics and more to discuss things in a certain manner.

This is ABSOLUTELY the point.

One of the reasons TQZ was picked as a title was to make this clearer.

And I still like the Quiet Zone. I already call it 'The Zone' in my head.

I suggest we all take a day or two just to get used to it?

El D,

That is your goal perhaps. But the subject matter of this forum tells a different story as far as what posters here have in mind. And the only reason these topics couldn't be discussed in a longer and more leasurely manner in OOT was that they quickly got buried.

This euphemistic name game reminds one of political spin.

diebitter,

It's the "Quiet" part that sucks hard. Just call it The Zone.

If you're going to have it at all.

Much of the content here was just moved over from the mod-playground Entertainment week.
I'm sure it won't be as ENT intensive in the future. Although certainly there will be a significant amount of ENT I would guess.
