Suggested name change for the off-topic forum Tired of ads?

Town Centre would be good.

What do you think?

What a bloody stupid idea.

But while we're on naming, why is this forum now called the community forum? About the only people who come here are misfits and malcontents, hardly a community in my book.

AH has a point:
Why can't the off-topic forum be the 'community forum'? It already serves that purpose.

As for the name, how about the Coffee Shop? That has the feel of a place people would just hang out at and discuss things or do other 'community' things...
Also, it's a name with a long ACS tradition attached to it.

I think if it were called The Coffee Shop it would be cool. that's the only thing i'd favor over just regular old "off topic forum"

Don't you think "Town Centre" has a nice feel to it? Just like the ranking system we have now, intead of the old "junior civer" and "civer"?

That's irrelevant considering that the apolyton coffee shop has been a continually running thread practically since the creation of the OTF.

Cr*p, it started last year. And why is there only one? Because Ming won't allow other shops, so we tea drinkers go thirsty. *horse swigs his latte*

Why can't we have a tea room? I don't drink coffee. Why can't we have the Off Topic Bar. No one really drinks coffee in the Coffee Shop anyway.

I vote to keep the Off-Topic name; perhaps change it to Random Chat... But Community forum sounds hacked and Town Center just sounds idiotic... Considering Civ doesn't have a town center (AoE does however...)
