fully. If people don't infer/get board names, well we call that natural selection applied to society. If they can't figure it out, I'm not sure I want them on board. I have reactions to excessive net stupidity. But then that's my opinion, and I've been called many unkind things in my life and probably deservedly so. and yeah this is a good point.

I think that Pavel's board has a core group of die hard members I don't think that it will ever truly die b/c of the efforts of these men/women. I hope to one day become like them in my fanatism. I think that each of these die hard members should be rewarded by being allowed to invent their own board section.

I think thats a terrible idea Kimisa, it will essentially be giving everyone there own board with no necessary reason for other people to post on it. Back to the proper issue, I still think its a better idea to have the board names be meaningful names and then make the board descriptions wacky things like Cafe Plato.

I agree with Ali. Those wacky names do sound good and creative, but I think more general names would seem more appropriate. "Bitchin battleground" wouldn't always fit Politics if the discussions aren't contentious.

Yeah, because we're all Californians, and therefore, crazy liberal hippies. We don't argue. We make love. And smoke pot. And burn flags, because we think they're secretly made of hemp.

The idea for wacky board names I got from other forums. I'm leaning towards the side that says that anyone who can't look at a board long enough to read the description under the name probably won't add anything interesting to the discussion.
And for the record, hemp contains little to no THC and therefore burning it is absolutely pointless for a psychoactive effect.

Some names are good. Cafe Plato is pretty obvious and I like the Good Readins one. But Bitchin' Battleground sounds jarring to me for some reason. Developers is a good reference to the Steve Ballmer video I assume but it seems long and people might not get the reference if they hadn't seen it.

I understand the concern with Bitchin' Battleground, but it's supposed to be a humorous name that implies that any political discussion turns hostile and rabid. Not all of the discussions will turn out that way, it's just an amusing name.
Edit: By the way, I hope to get to work on the redesign next weekend. I have a busy week coming up in school so I won't be seeing much of you guys throughout it. Keep discussing stuff, and I'll be checking every once in a while. Hopefully by the end of the week I can see what it is that you guys want to see with the redesigned forum.

Maybe we could also try to have in board links to each boar?
The general board could have links at the top for other boards so that if you are in the general board, you can just click to go to another board rather than have to go back to the main page.

We already have that. Look for the forum jump dropdown menu at the bottom. You can even use it in individual threads even.

Wow...hmm...so many suggestions in the past week. How shall I ever implement all of them?
Just kidding, I guess I'll start the redesign with what we have already figured out and after that I will tweak what needs tweaking.
