Question Should we rename the "General Discussion" forum, and if so, to what?

Simple poll. Some have requested another forum similar to "General Discussion" but with a different name. I honestly have no dog in this fight.

Instead of duplicating, I'll offer the membership some choices in this poll. The results will be public, FWIW. The poll will close in 10 days and I will abide by the wishes of the membership.

I think 'General Dicussion' is fine. I like the fact this is a WW2 history site, lets not let it turn into another general Purpose site with a million different non related forums!!

It's fine with me as it is. General Discussion is allready a forum for random nonsense.

How about something on the lines, of being on the Front lines.
Seeing how Barrecks are usually in the rear, very away from the action.

So kinda like "Bivic", "In the Trenches", "On the Front", "All Quite on the Front"??

Just throwing names out there so were not the same as ACG & other sites

Re: Should we rename the "General Discussion" forum, and if so, to what?

Old familiar names from other forums in my carrer is Randon nonsense (DoD Mod forum with a history department) n' Das Brauhaus (Krigsforum a Swedish forum were I'm admin). Barracks is a good name but not here as it's allready taken by ACG n' thus not suitable for the Zone. I't a bad idea to just copycat. So in my mind the current name is just fine.

'General Discussion' sounds so formal and sterile. I went with 'Twilight Zone' because it was something more colorful and had the most votes already. I liked 'PX' a little better, but no one else did and I didn't want to waste me vote!

I say leave it as is, it doesn't need a fancy name. And whatever you do don't name it "the barracks", it is a reminder of "another" site. I would suggest very strongly that politics be strictly banned fron this site including the general discussion board.

Yeah! Poly+Tics tend to ruin things rather quick.
