This forum needs a better name

And what better way to find one is to hold a contest!

We definitely need something better than The Playground and Wonder Square. Something that sounds inviting and... fun. That's where you guys come in. We'll have two rounds in this contest. First round is the round where we come up with names to rename this forum. I'll let that last a week so we have plenty of time to come up with as many good names for this forum. Next up, we'll have the voting round. Best name with the most votes win and will become the new name of this forum, that is unless the staff totally rejects the new name. That is very likely, but we still need a contest for a new name.

So far, I have only seen two names that were used: The Playground and Wonder Square. I'm sure you guys can come up with something better.

Wonder Square is the superior and there's nothing you can do about it. :colbert:

Incidentally, this forum was also called "MiniMog's Playground" before it went live.

How about 'The Newbs and then some?

Too long....

"Cid's Court".... maybe?

Eyeson (or EoFF or Cid Highwind) Elementary (perhaps too similar to Playground)

I think Wonder Square is pretty good. It's something from a FF game and it fits the intention of this forum.

Feel free to run your contest and maybe something good will come out of it. But the EoFF staff does not guarantee the 'winning' name will be used!

Beginner's Hall after the place in the slums near Tifa bar in FFVII. Its probably no better than Wonder Square but I tried!

Wonder Square defeats The Playground flawlessly, though. I like Wonder Square. :choc2:

I still want this forum to dissapear into Oblivion...

Though if it MUST be FF related, I suggest something from a superior game to FF VII.

Catagory: Narshe
Forum: Adventuring School (THat was the GBA translation, don't remember the SNES one.)

Superior game reference defaults to being the superior title.

MiniMog's Playground ftw. Especially on the Mog skin. If you want it called something else on your skin then go and complain to an admin like I did.

I demand MiniMog's Playground :colbert:

I didn't even know PG had already supported this already when I said that to Paul. I approve.

What it is now is far superior to anything mog, moogle, mini, or playground.

I do like Wonderbunny square though.

Wasn't the point of making this forum so newbies don't have to deal with oldbies in-jokes. :roll2

What exactly is this forum? The staff have been creating and changing a lot of forums lately that might feel uncomfortable or unfamiliar to certain members and guests.
08-12-2009, 02:19 AM

And every one of those changes has had an announcement made about it. Please read them.

Alrighty, looks like I have 26 names collected, including Wonder Square, and there's a 20 limit for polls. I did say there would be two rounds in this contest haven't I? I might change that, but we'll see.

So far, I like Wonderbunny Square and Adventuring School.

I don't like the idea of anything that makes the person feel like we just see them as a 'child' in a sense, like "Newbie", "Beginner", "Playground" etc. I think if a member has been to many forums before then they won't want to post in a place that is for "beginners". However, "introductions" can be made by anyone regardless of how much forum experience they have, so I think that works. Of course, I still think Wonder Square is the best idea so far.

It's very simple.

You set all newbies to a separate usergroup that can only look at the newbie forum.

They can't leave until they make [[over 9000]] poasts.

'PG's Playground' is the name of my forum, btw.

Ok, I manage to collect 32 names overall. However, that was way too much for the 20 limit in most polls, so I'm going to require another round for us to cut that down.

I'm going to include a list of 32 names that the forum could use, including Wonder Square. Please select your five favorite names, rank them 1 thru 5 if possible. :monster:

Here are the possible names that were posted.

Wonder Square
The Playground
MiniMog's Playground

"Wonder Square," "Beginner's Hall," and "Honey Bee Inn" are the only names that seem appropriate, I think. =O

The others are...really bad!
