We (the staff) have been discussing (on and off) renaming the Academia forum to something less...stiff-sounding. The current contenders for the new name are Humanities and Serious Fun. Let us know what you think of those names, or suggest other ones if you have any good ideas.

How is Humanities any better than Academia? Just as stuffy. Maybe even more so. If we want to lure people in, then "Serious Fun" would be the contender, if anything.
Also, I'm sure this has been brought up before or even settled already, but why is Debate not a part of Academia? |

QUOTE(Gigi @ Sep 22 2009, 02:02 AM)  If we want to lure people in, then "Serious Fun" would be the contender, if anything. The goal isn't so much to "lure people in" as it is to find a better label, since Academia's subforums -- art and writing in particular -- are hobbies and interests that can and are pursued outside of an academic setting. (I don't really think people need to be "lured" into a forum -- if you're interested, you'll check it out, if you're not, then you won't.) |
