Name of off topic section
Name of off topic section
I like the name "off topic" for the off topic section. People know exactly what it means, and you can find it easily.
Do you think it should be changed to "watercooler" or "Town center" instead, so we have better quality posts? I think it will lead to less users finding the forum, not higher quality. What do you think?
Discuss!

Re: Name of off topic section
off topic has a bad context to it now, town center or sth is nice imo.
Re: Name of off topic section
I'm not sure why changing the name of off topic would lead to higher quality posts. Spoiler, it won't happen
Re: Name of off topic section
If we named it „Town Center", then I think I'd be appropriate to call other section accordingly, like the strategy one „Arsenal" or something. I'm honestly not a fan of this idea. „Off topic" was nice and clear, although „Watercooler" isn't necessarily bad IMHO.

"Miscellaneous"?
Off-Topic definitely has connotations to it that implies anything goes.

Pooky's Tavern. There's no discussion possible.
Re: Name of off topic section
We could name every section after a community member/group.

Re: Name of off topic section
I'm OK with any name as long as we get to discuss anything.
funny though since pretty much any topic i can think of can be put in the three offered sections

Re: Name of off topic section
I think "Off topic" is fine, but "watercooler" would be an interesting change. I would shy away more general names like "Town Center", because new users might be unclear on what the section is for.

How about a referendum?
Re: Name of off topic section
Watercooler is a great idea, and i like the fact that threads were also put into subsections. Fix the index on the left to say "watercooler" and i'm golden ☺
Firepit also seems like a decent idea, but i think flaming should be kept to the strategy/recorded games section
