It would be better to rename some forums in a normal way

I think everybody have allready noticed, that some of the forums have really weird names, and they are serious names that have a proper name otherwise.

LIke there are forums that are simply called Politics, or Conspiracy, which is great, because it is what they are.

But then there are forums about Interenet, which is called LOL Internet, like it is supposed to have onbly funny thread?

Or another one, which is very serious about Sociology / Phylosophy, which is called The Inhuman Condition - this one has a really fucked up name.

Or another one about Psychiatry / Psychology - which is called Neurons and Needles - another name thta has little meaning for the forum.

Anyway, if you are on this forum, you allready know which forums have really fucked up names that were named this way just for the hell of it, without making any improvement for the forum names readability.

While I sort of agree, it's a bit of charm we kept from the TOTSE days.

IMO, "LOL, Internet" is better than "Internet stuff", or "Internet". I don't know. We had a poll on the name, btw, that's the one that won.

About the others, I don't know, maybe the section mods/admins will be willing to change the name if people suggest something.

OK, but I still don't understand why you have decided to keep only the worst from totse, instead of continuously trying to improve the concept.

Yes, because that day all the trolls had nothing better to do than voting in a poll, think about it. "Internet Matters" I know for example it is a normal name without even voting.

About the others, I don't know, maybe the section mods/admins will be willing to change the name if people suggest something.

I think that every section should be named the most comprehensible way.

i thought that zoklet wasn't totse though, zuper? :rofl:

when i want to go to a forum i use ctrl+f and type like if im trying to get to the finance forum i can never remember the name of it so i just ctrl+f "finance" and then i find it like that.

the forums have dumb names but thats what zok wants so you should probably close this thread

[zuperxtreme]

Don't start the Zoklet vs. Totse shit again... -_-

I don't care either way, if you guys want to change forum names instead of bitching about why they're so bad, suggest something useful and work on your idea/suggestion.

[sheff]

It takes all of two minutes to familiarise yourself with the subtitles for each forum area, which are perfectly clear.

It's fine as it is, never mind characterful.

I am suggesting to name all the forums with their literal names from the dictionary, which are the definition of the matters treated in these forums.

I think it is as simple as it gets...

[zuperxtreme]

List 'em.

LOL, Internet = Internet
This Just In = News

etc etc

[coolguy420]

i think we should call the romance forum "Sex & Affection" and the internet forum "I Found it on the Web"

[Shrike]

Neurons and Needles is pretty much the worst forum name ever. As is Fragyard, and Der Politik is pretty stupid too.

[Arkham Knight]

List 'em.

LOL, Internet = Internet
This Just In = News

etc etc

This Just In -> The News Room

LOL Internet -> Internet Matters

Neurons & Needles -> Psychiatry & Psychology

Fragyard -> Games People Play

The Inhumane Condition -> Sociology & Phylosophy

P.S. Another great idea would be to rename completely Neurons and Needles in "SANE MIND IN SANE BODY" - this way it would be a section where it is possible to discuss about health in general, mental & physical both ways in the same place.

Precisely. Zoklet wasn't formed in the same mould as more conventional websites; we should be proud of doing things differently.

Yes this is true, the TOTSE names were great.

yeah fragyard is an awful name. it has nothing to do with video games let's call it "Games People Play" instead

[Arkham Knight]

I think that too, some names form totse just couldn't be done better.

The way they did name the forums just worstened things, that's is it.

I think anyway, that the prerogatoive is to name the most serious forums in the most natural way, which is easy to understand as it is, not by reading th explanations in small characters.

In what way does it have "nothing to do with video games"?

Frag and gib were (and perhaps still are) in common FPS parlance.

fragyard was what xipili called his failed gaming community and he decided to name the forum after that i guess because he thinks the gaming forum here is a failure too

Pretty much.

[AtrainV]

I would just like to point out that N&N was voted on by the community.

[Lanny]

Who gives a shit? If you've been here two minutes you know what the names mean, and it's not like we're drowning in "I didn't know where to put this" posts.

Also, Fragyard > Games People Play, the former is classy and simple, the latter sounds like some shitty PUA book.

Heres a suggestion:

LOL, Internet = Funky Internet Shit

So, Last Summer = Gear, Wear and Styles

The inhumane condition = (I dont know what the fuck to call it cause I yet dont get what its all about, so someone suggest)

From Seed to Smoke = The Grow Room

And thats pretty much it.

[HOLLISTER GUY]

Fragyard should be renamed to FAGyard because that's mostly the type of people who are interested in video gaming. :mad:

And for god sakes can't Bat Country just be Half Baked. Making the forum names different from totse just for the sake of being different is simply dickalish.

[Sir Cornwell]

Hey. I wonder if we could get Cranky Town to put their board here and just make it another forum? :p

That would draw more girls. :hrmph:

Here's an idea, if you want to rename a forum; work with the mods of the forum involved, and the regular users to find an acceptable name. i've never found the admins to be all that averse to changing things around, and we've reworked the stoners forums several times over the last few months.

Wow OP is fucking RETARDED. I really hope you're just some little kid with a zoklet acct because if you're over 13 serious :facepalm: Not that I disagree (or agree, or care in any way) it's just that your post sounds like it was written by my little nephew. Serious lulz

admins fuck everyone in this thread saying change the names. A lot of them had fucking polls and those names won, so dont let some douchebag start crying and you admins change anythign!

thanks, i'd been trying to put my finger on why this guy annoys the fuck out of me, and you summed it up. take a look at some of his other "ideas" if you get the chance, the feeling is exactly the same.

Yea I'm sitting here proof reading my 10 year old nephews "research" paper and realized how similar the two writing styles are. Eg: Pretentious use of thesaurus words that don't fit (let alone add substance or meaning), lack of critical thinking (can't realize how neurons & needles relates to psychology / psychiatry), and an overall argument that begs the question.

Can we get a mod to ban OP? It's painfully obvious that he is not old enough to agree to Zoklet's terms and conditions. Not only does allowing OP to remain here decrease overall post quality, but it also jeopardizes this website and his personal safety. If he cannot decipher the meaning behind aforementioned forum names, how is he going to know that huffing raid doesn't get you high or mixing ammonia and bleach won't make a firecracker?

[a334jv2df]

Allowing him to stay sounds like a great way to kill a 10 year old kid and get Zok arrested.

If you want to see a forum get renamed, I'd suggest making a post or poll about it in the actual forum, and/or PMing the moderator of that forum (definitely PM the moderator before making a poll about it).

I don't think a poll would be a good idea in this situation.

The problem is that some forum names were put randomly.

It is not like you need fantasy to name these forums, just common sense.

The discussion here is abour renaming some core forums in a normal way.

[Fish]

I can understand that. As I said, bringing it up in the specific forum to be renamed is probably a better way to approach this topic - not everyone reads in I&F, but if you post in the forum, at least the regulars will have a chance to chime in.

[Fish]

btw, Arkham Knight, I like your signature :)

Who the fuck are you to think that you are even important enough to suggest this? THE NAMES ARE NAMED LIKE THAT FOR A REASON DEAL WITH IT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP :mad:

Thing is, aren't the admins the only ones that can rename a forum? So we'd just be adding another layer of bureaucracy in that case.

[zombo.com]

in most cases the admins are alright with whatever the mod and regulars come up with. At least they haven't kicked to ahrd when dose me and i were experimenting with what to call stoner chat/cannabis corner, and i've renamed the grow forum several times.

[Blunderstar]

Don't know if it was mentioned, but you can't just say "That title should stay because that's what the community voted for", in regards to LOL, Internet and the like.

Remember when they were voting for a new title for the video game forum? Fragyard has the LEAST amount of votes but it was chosen just because the admin (zok, or fish, or someone) liked it better.

That's fine, anyway. But what was the point of the poll?

Anyway, either all the titles are voted for, or none of them are. Otherwise you have chaos.
