Now, after the forum and the users have now done celebrating being one year old, I have an issue to address - why some of the names for categories? The two categories in question are Forum Games and Blog Forum. With the entire forum save those two having names which address the idea of an giant RPG, such as Heroes' Hearth, you wonder why those two are rather unoriginal. After thinking about this, I have a name for both the Blog Forum and the Forum Games section; though not necessarily brilliant, they make more sense than the names we have now.
Blog Forum: Travelers' Journals Forum Games: Vagabonds' Diversion
The Blog Forum one is rather obvious for creational purposes - working on a similar sort of scale as Heroes' Hearth. Forum Games transforming into Vagabonds' Diversion is less likely to be understood. A Vagabond is an individual who is a wanderer, or a traveler, who is known for being rather mischievous, like many who would wish to play the Forum Games, while it is a Diversion from an actual quest if this were an RPG, similar to a mini-game, or a sub-quest to entertain people.
Anyway, this is simply a suggestion to change the forum names to fit what I perceive to be the forum's theme, nothing more.

Blog Forum: Travelers' Journals Forum Games: Vagabonds' Diversion
I think Travelers' Journals fits well to the Blog forum, but perhaps another name for forum games can be thought of, "Vagabonds' Diversion" as Lucifer said can be easily misunderstood. I Propose "The Back Table", Usually in a tavern or Bar in an RPG, the back table is a place where gamblers settle to play a game of cards or dice. You can shoot it down all you like or we can keep Lucifer's Idea of Vagabonds' Diversion but before any decisions are made, I believe more ideas should come forward. Who knows someone may come up with a witty name that changes Lucifer and everyone else's mind as well as mine.

Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils I KILLED Death and stole his scythe. Yes, it IS as bad-ass as it sounds.

maybe Memoirs instead of journals..but I don't know, I like journals too.
It's a nice idea.

Personally, I like the Traveler's Journals. So, that's my vote for the Blogs. For the games...hm...how about...The Colosseum? I mean, almost everybody has heard of the infamous Roman Colosseum, which was a place for games when they weren't killing people.

I like "Traveler's Memoires" and "The Back Table", myself. While we're on the subject, we need to modify this terribly awkward description so that it's less terribly awkward: Create your blog in a single topic only! Other than that, there are no rules about advertising here.

I guess I'm the only one used to the old names and who doesn't really care to change them. :\

I do like "The Back Table" actually... it sounds much better than my suggestion.
And yeah - the whole "Create your blog in a single topic only! Other than that, there are no rules about advertising here." thing needs to be changed.

I wasn't talking about a movie. That's usually just how it was spelled back then, iirc.

Ok, it bothered me that this topic died and i think it is extremely important, thus i am reviving it. Those of us involved in it be for had the fallowing suggestions for the thread names. I think it died over the winter holiday, and everyone forgot about it.
Forum Games: - Vagabonds' Diversion - The Back Table - The Colosseum Blog Forum: -Travelers' Journals (if i missed any please state that i did thanks)
Tow new things i would like to add Announcements: -The Bulletin Board General Area: -The Camp Creative Maxima is good i guess unless someone has an objection

You'll have to have Picard listen to your proposal, Lucy. He made all the original boards' names.
