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.

Man, both Liberal Arts and Humanities seem like stuffy names to me, though if I were to pick from those two, I'd prefer Liberal Arts. Mind Fodder is really cute, but sort of a novelty name.
So from those pickins', Liberal Arts. |

QUOTE(superstitious @ Nov 3 2009, 05:50 PM)  Mind Fodder is really cute, but sort of a novelty name. Yeah; I'd totally go for it if the other forums were named in a similar vein, but I fear it'd feel a bit out of place. Like when you were a little kid, and you were given a picture of an orange, a lemon, an apple, and a pterodactyl, and you had to pick which one didn't belong -- I feel like Mind Fodder would be the pterodactyl of CreateBlog. |
