    I must admit that some of the titles are confusing and a bit cheesy-sounding. It takes a minute to know where I'm supposed to post a certain topic. (i.e. I thought Food& Drink was fine instead of some saying about nachos)

    That's just my opinion, but I guess I'll still be here.

    Thank you for the response, Lil'Mo. I do appreciate them.

    They'll most likely return to their former selves or something similiar to avoid having to read descriptions.

    If I choose to do that, it should be in the next few hours after I finish a few other things.

    No problem, just trying some new things...

    Some will work, some will just suck. .

    Busy busy busy guy arentcha Alien? .

    Well I admit it's easier, but the other titles were cool! .
    Try doing something like a combination...
    Like "Step Into the Water Cooler, just don't freeze" or "You Ranting Maniac"

    I think it might have taken us a little bit to get used to the new forum titles but I liked them. We just needed to have taken a little more time to get used to them.

    i was actually discussing that during a drive last night
    how though odd, the titles could be easily gotten used to
    but, that's in our case
    what about new users
    that would confuse the heck out of em .

    Well think about it. If that's all a new user sees, then of course he/she's going to get used to it! I mean, it'll confuse 'em at first, but they'll get used to it! .
    Course if it keeps changing it'll all confuse us veterans too....

    i've got nothing against change, but i think the current titles are better than the ones we had... they were *too* obscure.

    but change is good. names like "water cooler" should stay, but food&drink, say, might change to ...uh, my creative brain is fried. but something clever. yeah.

    Still too confusing. That could be the "Farting" forum, and we certainly would have enough posts between JHowse and me to fill that forum up quickly.
