Legion banning people for no reason sure is fun Level: 101 Posts: 2602/5657 EXP: 10399737 For next: 317938 Since: 03-15-04 From: The Crossroads is under attack! Since last post: 5 days Last activity: 5 days |

Yes it's that time again. After 48 years of petitions, marches, discussions and all that other crap, we're finally getting a Political Forum. (You'd know that if you popped into Help/Suggestions from time to time. ) Anyway, what we need now is a name for it. Why not just Political Forum? Because it's going to be more than that. It will consist of more sensitive issues and such. Recent events in the news, politics of course, religion, and anything else of that nature. You get the general idea. So with that being said, we need a proper name. Kind of like how the Officers Club is named. That forum is about personal issues and concerns but it has a theme name to it. Actually, just suggest anything good. And it had better not suck. Oh, and this should go without saying, but no asking for staff. The rules and guidelines will be set in stone soon but they should be fairly obvious. If we get a name and forum description, then we can expect the new forum on Thursday-ish. That's when Erk will be at his comp again and he'll add it then. |

...You know, I'd better sticky this and give it a proper name. Pretty vague at the moment. | |||

Bah! Politics is boring unless you're into it though. I wouldn't know what to name something like that. Except for 'Politically Incorrect' for some reason. | |||

Eh, some suggestions (many of which I have used at the Citadel... guess which...)
Course, I think a clever and well written DESCRIPTION matters as much, if not more than, the name -- as it will largely set the code of conduct for the forum as well as the type of things discussed.... |

Hmm. "The Tank" appeals to me for some reason. And as for a description: "Politics, religion, current affairs, philosophy, morality, and all that fun stuff that makes your brain-meat throb with pain. I am right because I am and you're all wrong and ugly!" (edited by Arwon on 10-06-04 12:16 AM) |

How about "Political Forums" with a description of: "This is the forum for politics, so check the religion at the door. All in all, make fun of the candidates and politicians." |

Cause I likes it. Originally posted by Lenophis But it'll be about more than Politics... there's a lot more "taboo" stuff to discuss than just Politics... And nowhere to discuss that stuff if we just limit this forum to Politics.... (edited by ChibiTaryn on 10-06-04 12:25 AM) |

Course, debating can be serious or silly, but it tends towards seriousness In case you can't tell, I've done this whole thing before.... (edited by ChibiTaryn on 10-06-04 12:43 AM) |

Originally posted by LegionIf anything we should let the forum go for a week or two without moderators and then see if we need any. Expect a flood of threads from me, since i'm actually quite politically intrested. I like doing debates (but not doing shit-slinging contests... >.> ) And well, we shouldn't name it after any politician or adminstration Trapster. And for now, I actually just like the name "Debate forum" the most currently. (thought Kirbynite's have a more intresting, yet wierd name which still fits... ) |

Given the general political sentiment both here in the US and around the world, we should probably just call it "BUSH IS DUM LOL" and get it over with. | |||

Okay "BUSH IS DUM" is exactly what we don't want. Especially for the minority of us Republicans =P Anyway, I'm horrible at coming up with names, but the best I've heard so far is the Debate Forum. Then again, it could be discussion. I want to again emphasize the idea of this forum. It is not for only politics. It is for current events, whether nature, business, weather, foreign affairs, politics, science, religion...anything and everything of a more serious nature. What our goal is, is to have a forum where we can talk intelligently about a subject without getting idiotic and pointless responses that do nothing but waste time. It's also to ensure that posts are read that actually have merit, and read by those who will appreciate them. With that in mind, how about we refocus the naming game, and try for something a little more incorporating. |

Thing is, with the naming game, I have suggested "News and Current Affairs" however if it's just the Acmlmboard equivalent to FARK (minus the stupidity) then it will overlap with the way General Chat is used at the moment. Extended Discussion News and Current Affairs ? |
