Now that the forum has essentially been split, do you think the original one needs a new name? I dunno, spur of the moment, but one idea I had was 'Obsessions and Curiosity Forum', with the description saying something along the lines of 'Here you can talk about whatever's on your mind or interested in, from shoes and ships and sealing wax, to cabbages and kings! Here you can also ask random questions that aren't quizzes. 'PSOT!!' posts should go in the Off the Wall Forum'

Other ideas can be handy too.

*waits for judgement*

That title might confuse some. It isn't very clear and in my experience, forum titles need to be pretty explicit in what is in them. Games and quizzes never really qualified as discussion but what is in there now pretty much does. I dont think it needs changing, but I suppose changing it to 'Random and spontaneous' or just 'Random Things' might be preferable.

True, true. I just thought that because some of the 'random' was taken out of random discussion, it could double as an obsession forum.

I like the idea very much! It would be really interesting to see what subjects members are into, and another way of geeting to know each other.

*thinks of the Getting to Know Each Other forum*

Nah, that doesn't sound like it'd double as an Obsession Forum.

No, because it would be too 'in depth' wouldn't it?

Definitely worth a forum of its own :D

I'd love to see this forum re-named. :)
