Rename Aimless Rambling

[JenniferL]

Aimless needs a new name. Why? Because I shameless stole that name from another, funnier site. Thats fine on a temp site, but I'd rather have something original here. So since you are all much, much smarter than I am, I leave it to you, dear members, to devise the new name.

 

The philosophy behind Aimless Rambling is this: Every forum has a tension between those members who want directed, focused discussion, and those who want to post for the sheer joy of posting. Its not quality that counts for them, just the pleasure of seeing their name pop up on a forum. I make no moral judgements, because I too experience that joy. I also experience the annoyance of being absent from a forum for a few hours and finding it completely overrun by incomprehensible (to me) silliness. So to attempt to relieve this tension, we have a board set aside for those who want to post until their fingers bleed and for mods to throw threads that started off with lots of promise, but denigernated into drivel (Debates and Discussions, I'm looking at you).

 

Sooo... Any ideas?

[Jhaenara]

Hmmm... I dunno... I'm not good at this stuff... lol

 

Capricious Divergence

 

Rambler's Anonymous

 

Unavailing Drivel

 

Vagrant Spamming

 

or any mix of those... lol.

 

Edit: Yeah, I had fun with a Thesaurus... :P

[JenniferL]

So far I like Ramblers Anonymus and Vagrant Spamming.

[Taei]

Well, I've set up several boards that have had a forum like this. Just to keep the spamming from running over to other forums. :)

 

Possible Names:

 

Spammers Anonymous (I love this one...)

Creativity Corner

Writers Escape

The Game House (play of words off of the Game of Houses)

Sa Souvraya Niende ("Lost in my mind" Old Tongue)

 

I can probably come up with more, but these are just the ones that I got off the top of my head. :D

[Corki]

The Attack of the Spam!

 

The Spam Attack!

 

Spammage

 

In true Monty Python style: Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, spam...

[JenniferL]

In true Monty Python style: Spam' date=' spam, spam, spam, spam, spam...[/quote']

 

I think whatever name gets chosen, that absolutely must be the descriptor.

[Corki]

hehe! great! Now, just to get credited for the idea somehow...

[Guest Majsju]

and for mods to throw threads that started off with lots of promise' date=' but denigernated into drivel (Debates and Discussions, I'm looking at you). [/quote']

 

May I remind you that we lost our mod-status on the temp-boards when they got hacked.

 

And we haven't recieved mod-rights here yet, so atm it's not our responsibility...

[JenniferL]

I hated it even before the old site went down. Too many people shrieking, not enough actual debate. I don't blame you guys, I blame the shriekers. There's only so many times you can tell people to shut up before you wear out. =)

[Ignis]

Manic Mashing of Monstrous Spam!

 

Yeah...thats mine.

:D

[Steel Axe]

Ooh House of Spam

[Taei]

How about "By The Light!" ;)

[Steel Axe]

how bout "not more posts by steel"

[Jhaenara]

More like, "Not more posts by Steel?!?!?!??!?!?!?!??!"

 

Hehehe...

[Guest Egwene]

What about

 

Pointless Drivel

Fiddlesticks

Braindead Thread

World Wide Whoopsies :lol:

 

.....working on more...

[ilgross]

How about: The Mad House

 

The Colours? Jusy because I could :)

[Ignis]

Spam In a Can. Edible, yet poisonously disgusting. Or fun. Poison and fun get jumbled up a lot....

[Jhaenara]

I was avoiding the word spam a little because you said you borrowed the other name and was looking for something more original, but anything with the word "spam" in it would be perfect for the group of spamming miscreants we have... hehehehe...

[Spacey]

At risk of being cajoled for using the word spam in the title I offer this:

 

Spamtastic Delusions

[Ignis]

Aggravated Ascension of Posts Through Terribly Tediously Troublesome Posts.

 

There. Something tediously long.

[BenTGaidin]

How about:

 

"Where Brains Go to Die"? *grins* Or maybe "Threads," instead? Alternately, what about "The Boards that Time Forgot"? "Attack of the Killer Threads"? "Rambles from Planet Randland"?

 

And why do all my suggestions sound like B-movies?

[BenTGaidin]

Additionally, does that board actually exist here yet? If it does, why can't I see it? I didn't think my brain's spam-filters were _that_ active... *grins*

 

 

Ben T-Gaidin

[Taei]

It doesn't exist yet. I do believe that they're looking for a new name before they put it up. It would be a bit of a hastle to chage the name after it's up. I know that one from experience. :D

[Kati]

What about Dragon Dribble?

 

(I also like spam, spam, spam, spam etc as the descripter)

[fader6818]

We're looking to rename it, and find a gaggle of moderators for it. PLEASE, don't fill this thread with "I wanna be a moderator."
