I like "The Sacred Groove" as the title for a sub-forum along the lines of the old "The Muse That Afflicts Me".

I think I'd actually like to change the Milieu to the Foyer as has been suggested and leave the Kerfuffle or Kerfuckle as the new name for the Off-Topic/ Grab-Ass and Freeplay forum. Of course, belaja will probably trademark "kerfuckle" so we may be forced to use Kerfuffle.

I like the two polls + run-off idea.

I agree that Foyeurism should die.

And although I like it, I think "The Sacred Grove" would bring irritating TBM trolls into our midst, and god knows what we'll do to outsiders.

I agree that Sacred Groove's maybe a little too in-your-face as a name for the community (in addition to not being that descriptive of what the board's about, which I think is a bigger weakness). But not too offensive to be potentially useful for something.

And I agree on that general idea. You could even have as many mods as were interested curate their own polls then combine (using top 2 or 3 from each). It's America, we're suckers for polls, right? (On second thought, I guess it's not actually America for everyone around here - not even all the mods. Do the Scots like polls?)

Ack! It looks like Sacred Groove is already the name of a fundy Christian, smooth jazz group, or possibly multiple such groups. Can I cancel my vote? Yikes.

Try to use "kerfuckle" without permission, you mofos, and I will shut this joint DOWN. (In 24 hours. Minus 20.)

(Course if I let you use it, it will probably start getting google hits and I will be on the OED fast track!)

OK, I will let you use "kerfuckle" for a small fee for every hit that the "kerfuckle" section gets. I'm a reasonable woman.

The Scots do; it's the Germans who don't like the Poles. :shock:

Ok, maybe THAT will bring Hellmut out of hiding. :lol:

Oh no. Change my vote to a write in for "Flaming Salamander".

Can I write in The Telestial Trailer Park? I mean, we're all gonna end up there living in double wides. Might as well try the name on now.
