Eyes on the World.

Change it back to World Events. having two "eyes on..." threads makes things become redundant, plus it removes the novelty from "Eyes on Each Other" I remember when I first joined and saw EoEO, I thought, wow, that's pretty creative. How cool! But with two of them it just becomes redundant, plus, "EoTW" doesn't sound good, unlike EoEO. So I think you should change it back. I don't think anyone is going to agree with me though.

I made a request for the lounge to be "Eyes on little kiddies", but it disappeared. :(

I like having similar names for both fora. They're related, since they're the two 'serious discussion' fora where the rules are generally enforced most strictly. Anyone who's EoEO banned can't access either.

Overall, I'm not too worried by what name it's got... but EotW is consistent.

How about Eyes on World Events?

EoWE?

It'll keep the Eyes on part AND keep the former World Events name.

I completely agree.

It was changed, like 20 minutes ago, exactly so it would sound like Eyes on Eachother. Probably should've brought up any omg noes then. :eek:

I didn't really notice. I don't really go on that forum, and when I do, I just remember that it's 3rd on the forum list.

yer welcome.

I wasn' here for the previous name & I'm almost embarrassed to even have an opion here but if a fresh eyed opinion would help, and my other forum rename suggestions aren't taken up, they both stand out instantly as related serious forums to the new face just by their names.

I usually get irritated when I go in that forum anyway, so I really just try to ignore it.

That fits. It incorporates the old name and the new name, so everyone should be happy, in theory.

A better option would be this:

1) Close the forum

2) Delete every thread

3) Create three new threads which have a title but no posts.
One thread can be called, "Bush sucks and so does US foreign policy".
The next thread can be "Terrorists are evil and must be stopped at any cost".
The third and final thread can be "Some stuff happened somewhere else but no-one cares because it didn't involve Bush or terrorists".

Following this simple 3-step plan will condense the entire world events forum into a concise bundle. Every single thread ever in that forum fits into those three categories, so it'd save a lot of wasted time.
:)

...But on a more serious note, "Eyes on World Events" would be fine as a forum name.

You young whippersnappers should be happy that you're allowed to talk about terrorism and President Bush - most forums don't even have that luxury. For all we know, you could all be Internet terrorists. Now quit your whinging and go and type up some incredibly long posts that nobody bothers to read.

(SPOILER)Only joking.

Quit your whining, too, while you're at it. < / grammar_gestapo >

But seriously, the incredibly long posts are really boring. There is beauty in brevity.

Don't ever correct me. Only Nait may do that. And if you simply must correct me, make sure you're right before you take any action, or you could end up looking like a silly idiot.

(Note: If you want me to insert some more commas into my previous post, simply PM me and it can be arranged.)

we get a good number of non-Bush, non-terrorist threads in that forum.

The point that us non-Eyes on people are trying to make (or at least, me) is that another forum named "Eyes on (anything)" is redundant and it takes away the novelty of Eyes on Each Other. I agree that it could use a more creative name, but I'm sure with all of the creative people on this forum, we could come up with something better than an overused catch phrase.

Hm - you're probably right. What would the forum be like if all the names were as follows...?

Eyes on Chat
Eyes on Each Other
Eyes on The World
Eyes on a Lounge of Some Description
Eyes on General Gaming
Eyes on Arts and Writing
Eyes on Site Staff
Eyes on Other People's Problems (Help)
Eyes on Other People's Bitching (Feedback)

You get the picture. It would suck terribly.

the idea was that since those two forums have the same strict no flaming policy and share a temporary forum ban, they should share similar names as well to demonstrate their similarity. remember, they used to be the same forum, then WE was a child forum of EoEO.

So we can flame in the Dirge of Cerberus Forum?

DC = Dirge of Cerberus

Technically you can't flame anywhere, but only EoEO and EotW have strict no flaming, no spamming policies. Those two forums are intended for serious discussion whereas the gaming forums are meant to talk about games therefore should entail a bit more fun and silliness.
