reorganization would be good, but last time we spent all that time doing it and jusun came back and basically said the staff and community were wrong and changed it.

I don't like serious fun cause it doesn't make sense or describe it to me. but I dont think people pay attention to the names really anyway. academic just sucks cause it doesn't make much sense

Subtle bump.

So far it looks like "Humanities" is the safest name. Any other suggestions?

This doesn't sound too bad. I'm inclined to go with "Mind Enhancement" or "Humanities".

I think Humanities is a great name. If not, then I suggest a major re-categorizing. I think its hard to name because there are categories that don't go together all mashed up.

This is a suggestion:

Introductions
The lounge - lounge, vip lounge, news, sports, humor, forum games
Liberal - art, music, photography, reading (books), writing
Production - movies, tv, video, anime
Life - relationships, school, fashion, food, health, boy's locker room, girl's locker room
Technology
Debate

How come there's no work section? Not everyone goes to school =/.

Work would be in the LIFE section

Alrighty, trying to bring this discussion up again for a final decision.

Humanities seems to be the frontrunner. I'd also like to submit Mind Fodder as a replacement idea for the somewhat-popular-but-not-popular-enough Mind Enhancement. Finally, I've been considering Liberal Arts, in an attempt to incorporate his idea. Thoughts?

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.

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.

That reminds me, about a week ago I saw a guy wearing a Che shirt get out of an F350 superduty adorned with Rebel flags, bald eagles, and pictures of white-tailed deer skulls.

I was amused.

I like the name, but along the same lines as what Rebecca posted a while back:

I feel like a "novelty" or "fun" title is inconsistent with the titles of all the other forums. Thoughts?
