| That could be a great way to go. It really applies to the idea that it's more indepth and intellectual than just spewing off threads for random reasons. And putting in News and Current Events is a descrtiption in and of itself. My vote is for something like that. | |||

| mine is called Debate / Current Events... and I have an idea... unless you have something to say about the actual NAME OF THIS FORUM.... shut the fuck up and don't post in this thread.... Dark Vampriel's comment for example... was COMPLETELY OFF TOPIC AND UNEEDED and consequently SPAM..... so don't be douche bags, if you don't care about a political oriented forum, then you don't need to say anything here do you ?? only people need to say something here, are people that want to comment on the name of the political oriented forum.... your offtopic bullshit is not needed in this thread |

| On a more serious more, I think someone here suggested something along the lines of The Think Tank. I think that could work for a forum such as this, particularly if only serious and intelligent responses will be allowed (As the sentiment thus far seems to be). | |||

| I said "the tank" with "think tank" in mind, but really I'd rather my proposed description was used than the off the cuff name idea. I think it hits the right tone. Serious but in a perky and fun sort of way. | |||

I think either "The Tank" or "The Think Tank" is a great idea.  |

| How about "Political Debates / Events" with the description... "Got something to Debate about? Wanna bring up a strong argument and see other members opinions? If so you found the right place to start your discussion! All the gossip from Capitol Hill and all over the world!" (edited by Randy53215 on 10-06-04 08:11 PM) |

Originally posted by Legion "The Tank" is really the only suggested name that complies with this guideline. It also has a cool ring to it. And I guess Jesper's suggestion is pretty good too. |

| The Tank...I like that idea! Catchy and applicable. I really don't want to limit it to politics, or give people the impression that the forum will only be about politics, so I think that works great. | |||

Sounds wee little too militirstic for me. And it feels little wierd name for this forum. Dunno it maybe works...  (but I want opinions from some of the admins too...)Thought, for being honest I just prefer plain Debate forum over that.

| I would say Think Tank over just The Tank.... think takes the military out adds the intelect back in to a degree |

| I actually think "the think tank" sounds a bit too cliche, with not enough ring to it compared to simply "the tank." But whatever, opinions may vary, of course. |

| Think Tank just seems a little cheesy to me. I'd rather have something like Master Debators. In other words, seconding Ziff. |

| Oooh, i got one. "House of the Common People" Yeah, sure, it's a pun on the british government, which I guess most people here don't give a shit about, but I still found it somewhat funny. |

I'm the only one finding the deadline little too soon? (Today seems like a deadline  )Personally I would at least let this around for some more time before the name get's in stone or anything. Wait, why not Airship? That would be Mario themed. (ok maybe honestly not... it would just look too wierd)But for being honest most forums have a simple name on this board, and I would like keep it like that. What would think tank have to do with debates? It sounds more like something that would fit a help/suggestions forum. ...and well, we should also have a good describtion for it. Unless we like having a empty one like we have on the Pok |

| Description is possibly more important than the name too, remember. A name is important, but the description will kinda set the ground rules and stuff a little -- like the description for Officer's Club does. And this could well be the kind of forum that needs ground rules set, and to be very clear. If the rules aren't set and clear, that is when problems may arise, but as long as everybody knows what the rules are, it should be all good  |

| Well, how about The Potshot Place or something like that? Most the debates around here turn into personal attacks on an authoritarian figure anyway... I do like the The Tank idea, that makes sense... Reminds me of The Pit on NCF. Or else we could try something really long and unnecessarily complicated, like "The Room In Which Several, With Possible Additions, People Debate A Controversial Topic Under The Supervision Of Several Authority Figures". It'd make sense, considering what the subject of the forum is. I wouldn't mind it being called The Firing Squad, either, going along with the Potshot Place idea I mentioned earlier.
