Rename 'The Media'

putis · 09-29-2007, 12:43 PM

It's recently been brought up, by the staff, that The Media is a bad title, in that it doesn't accurately describe what's in the forum.

That forum is for discussion about music, tv, movies, art, anything regarding entertainment.

That being said, you, the members, can think of a better name. Post your ideas here, and we'll take it from there.

Stuart · 09-29-2007, 12:58 PM

call it "Media Area"

Wootmasta · 09-29-2007, 01:04 PM

Arts and Entertainment
like in the newspaper

CameleonMK · 09-29-2007, 01:18 PM

Maybe just cut woot's title down to entertainment.

and maybe graphics will get some more activity if it has its own section instead of a little subsection in a parent section that no one goes into.

I aggree with david.

putis · 09-29-2007, 01:41 PM

The download forums are for just that, downloads. I don't want to be sticking discussion forums in there.

David · 09-29-2007, 01:56 PM

you can stick it in general discussion then... I just don't think it does well with its own section.

putis · 09-29-2007, 02:25 PM

Ok, but then how could you think that the graphics corner would?

Keep in mind, that way back when, the corner was it's own forum, it was only 'sub-ed' because it was dead.

David · 09-29-2007, 02:35 PM

Well... I just think that the section might get revitalized if people can see it easier. And if it doesn't work then there's no harm done.

Anyway it's your choice.

putis · 09-29-2007, 02:37 PM

Ok, so everyone is fine with moving 'the media' as a sub-forum of general chat, and giving the graphics corner it's own forum?

Also, wherever the media forum goes, it still needs a new name.

David · 09-29-2007, 02:42 PM

A new name could be something like "Pop culture" or... "media discussion"

Dragod · 09-29-2007, 06:48 PM

"Pop Culture" would be the best way to describe it.

putis · 09-30-2007, 08:44 AM

I'm liking the 'Pop Culture.' Any objections?

putis · 10-03-2007, 09:15 AM

Done.

revolver183 · 10-03-2007, 12:43 PM

Can't you put the media and zmedia together and call it the file sharing forum?

putis · 10-03-2007, 01:14 PM

I guess. But then why not just combine them with Firmware, Hacks and Mods, and Tools.

revolver183 · 10-03-2007, 09:35 PM

Yeah why not?

putis · 10-04-2007, 03:48 AM

Because it gets messy. Why combine all those things? With that same train of thought, why don't we just combine all of the forums into one gigantic forum.

revolver183 · 10-05-2007, 01:09 PM

so you couldn't make it to where you had Media/File Sharing Forum and then under that you would have Music, Movie, Comics, And Misc. Then Under Misc. You would have Application Wallpapers and then whatever else would fit into that category?
